I like what Gary says about the round release into the shaft plane ...more of a body release with no hand twist

Looks great Grady. But I'm a little concerned that your club may be non-conforming, since it has a tongue. I'll look into this further.

Mark,

Could you please provide evidence of Moe saying he wanted "forward" spin? If he said it for real it makes him sound quite strange. Forward spin, as I know from experience, is a "less" than playable shot when not on the green.

I hit a driver one time that went about 6 feet in the air before smashing into the turf a good 30 yards in front of me at about 60+ mph. I hit it fairly hard and I'm pretty sure it had topspin because it flew...

This winter I really drilled down to the core of my jump shot in basketball. Gained a lot of understanding about things I've been doing intuitively for as long as I can remember. That investigation was inspired by the Dirt. I feel like now I know how I can make any shot from any distance if I had the body strength to apply enough force to the ball to get it there. The way it is affecting my basketball game is that I'm working on floaters and runners (think about tony parker/steph...

This is what I'm thinking to myself:

"Forget about everything. All the aesthetics, all the things the great players did, all the stuff you should do, all the stuff you think is natural. Forget everything.

Can you feel the force of gravity?
Can you hold a stick?
Can you feel the force of the swing?
Can you understand that the club moves around you in 3D?
Can you understand that you can choose to move your body either...

I always like this gif … maybe the arms aren't quite as low as Bradley would like but the hips and shoulders seem to work together.

For me your definition of wristcock and hinge are acceptable.
Acceleration itself is just acceleration. I would call club acceleration fundamental because the clubhead must hit the ball with speed.
Release I suppose could be defined as acceleration with clubface alignment.
In which case I must conclude release is fundamental. Well done sir.
So we have grip stance release. These we must do therefore they are fundamental.
LOL this is...

Thanks,Terry. Good things to digest.

For me the focus on that particular spot is that I can envision the load of the club being contained there, and try to keep it loaded and accelerating through impact and beyond.

I do kind of the same thing when I land an airplane; I picture and feel the center of gravity and the wheels relationship to it as I flare for touchdown, and it gives me an extra sense for the pivot of the mass as the plane slows and the back drops...
