Deceleration - to slow the rate of increase
A negative acceleration
Yup.. would be accurate too.
Ringer, I agree with you on that, but the clubhead speed at impact is the crucial factor, isn't it? Once the clubhead meets the ball, the clubhead begins to slow down and the ball departs so rapidly that there is nothing a player can do to increase the departure speed. It doesn't matter if the clubhead is traveling in an arc or a straight line. At least, that's the way I understand it.

I asked Dr. Aaron Zick about it at last years TGM Summit.
He said, that in the golf swing, it really doesn't exist.
I agree, but we're not just talking speed. That's what I'm saying. We're also talking about a changing direction of the club. Since the clubhead is following a circular arc, any continuation of that arc will be a change in direction.
Now, that change in direction may be slowed by the inertia of the ball, but it does not completely go away. So if you can have a GREATER change of angle, it would be beneficial to that of a smaller change of angle.
By maintaining lag later into the forward swing, that will cause the angle that the clubhead is changing to a much greater one than if you cast the club early.

Brian, you don't necessarily have to go to a summit to get this information, it has been right under your nose on your own forum.
Biffer,And, that change of angle is supposed to do what? Create more clubhead speed? If so, is it before contact with the ball, or during, or both? I'm not quite sure exactly what you are trying to say.

Ringer,No since speed alone is not what we are truely concerned with. We are concerned with the exchange of energy from the clubhead to the ball.
By having a change of direction you are ensuring that the velocity of the clubhead is greater than if it were simply following a straight line.
That will cause the clubhead to have more momentum and thus more energy.
Ringer,
You have been explainig to us throughout many posts the great virtue of your theory. I have set up a very easy thought experiment to give you the occasion to explain it to us all, without any ambiguity, using this elegant scientific tool.
A small mass M moving with constant velocity V is restrained at time t = t1 to follow a circular path having radius R. Hence a straight line motion being converted into a circular motion, using a thin massless constraint.
Ringer, clearly, according to your theory this leads to an increase in momentum and kinetic energy. Could you please confirm. A simple yes or no will suffice but a coherent rational explanation would be very much appreciated.
Ringer,Define "restrained" and how does using a thin massless constraint cause a non-linear motion to become linear?
Ringer,
Throwing up some dirt trying to hide behind it. Last resort tactics. No FAA meetings anymore? Be a man and admit you just have dug yourself such a big hole you don’t know how to get out if it.
I will repeat my question,

Above a very simple non ambiguous thought experiment often used by scientists to discuss problems. I am sure that there are quite a few members who could readily answer in your place without any difficulty, there being no tricks, just a very simple thought experiment. Just common sense, not really even complicated science.
