What Lynn is describing is a very CORRECT way to do it....IF you have a pivot that listens!

And Lynn said:

"As I said, the Body and Arms, once trained, will do what they must do to accomodate the assignment of the Hands. That is the case whether you are lifting a 50 pound weight or crocheting a quilt.

The problem with the application of that truism to the Golf Stroke is that, for most Golfers, the Hands -- Zone 3 -- have no idea what to do. And the Body and Hands -- Zones 2 and 3 -- left to their own devices and false Feels, can frustrate even Educated Hands. Hence, the necessity for the education of all three Zones -- Body, Arms and Hands -- all the while maintaining their separate identities. Only then can they be expected -- and depended upon -- to function properly as integral parts of your Golfing Machine."

Remember:

"The Golf Stroke is one piece like an ocean liner, not like an Indian dugout canoe (1-H). Every board and every panel must be cut to fit its place and cut to fit in with the overall design (1-E)."

-- Homer Kelley

??Golfer A has a dependable swing (also a swinger) based on the principles of TGM, that normally produces a 250 yard carry with the driver under conditions facing him on his next tee shot.

This next tee shot requires a carry of 260 yards to clear a fairway bunker and place the ball in a position desired by golfer A.

Considering the fact that golfer A has a "Hands controlled pivot" and depends on CF to create clubhead speed, how should/can he generate the increased clubhead speed to obtain a carry of 260 yards?? (Down swing pivot speed?, a guess!)

Be it down swing pivot speed or ....., how do you equate to "Hands controlled pivot?

Absolutely, agree. I still remember the first time I 'really' felt them, and the sound of impact and 'sizzle' that was produced because of it. The smooth, effortless, control, feel and power of my hands.

If the Golfer's normal Lag Pressure sends the Ball 250 yards with the Driver. then he must create greater Lag Pressure than normal to send it 260 yards. This is not done by Swinging 'harder' or 'faster' or more 'violently.' It is done by Loading 'heavier.' While this will necessarily result in a faster Swing and harder hit, it is done without attempting either.

You are so right, Lynn!

That's why Jack Nicklaus feltswung SLOWER when he wanted to hit harder!

 

[Ringer]

So the lag pressure point is the point which you want to monitor most for distance? How would this translate to someone with a "Pivot controled hands" swing?

And lastly...

It is my interpretation that the hand's only hold onto the club unless compensating for imporper movement of Zone 1 or Zone 2. 6-G-0 Furthermore having your mind monitoring them is not actually having them DO anything, but rather a focus of the mind. Would you say this is accurate?

These analogies describing hands controlled pivots don't include the precise alignments hands and arms must maintain ala holding and gripping a club on plane. Veer off a bit and you are screwed. My personal level of pivot controlled hands is more like holding a balancing bar and walking on a tightrope with with psychotic NBA players below believing I threw a cup of beer at them. I wish golf were as easy as grabbing an object off the floor.
