Well it does, your clear lack of factual knowledge just means you are making shit up. So again I ask, can I have what you are smoking? Man, the shit you make up is crazy.

For someone claiming to know they are talking about, you’re making some blatantly false statements.

At this point you’re making yourself look less knowledgeable with each post

You said something about hands/body/brain connection. Sure, whatever. Applies to all things we do. 

I honestly don't wan to dismiss what you are saying assuming you are may be simply having difficulty expressing it step by step. 

What is your point in relation to a golf swing? How does the TW illustration prove it, and ultimately what are you trying to 'teach' us? What would you like someone DO to hit a golf ball with proper club-path and square club face? 

Can you layout what happens or what should one do at each position from A1 to A8

Actually , the explanation i used is exactly how the human brain sees itself.

The brain doesn't "see itself," and you aren't even really keeping things straight. Nobody has talked about how the brain "sees itself," and you've talked about (and thus far seemingly made up things) about how the brain can't process what the right elbow does (or whatever).

I taught several lessons today. Two of them were about the right elbow. The people had no problems thinking about elevating the right elbow, or doing what I asked them to do with the right elbow.

People can think about their left pinkie toe during the golf swing if they want.

I know what a cortical homunculus is.

A number of claims you have made today alone that you have yet to back up

  • It is the turning of the torso ( inner circle ) that squares the face, not the hands!

Yeah, that's a good one. A ton of golfers will palmar flex or do some other things to help them square the face, and many other golfers who rotate through the ball will leave the face wide open or over-close it.

  • Knowledge of human genetics is the major key to a successful golf swing

Yeah, that's a funny one. Dustin Johnson, master of human genetics knowledge!

  • Every great player drops their hands down back behind their torso at the very start of their DS before the rotation of their shoulders begins

I'm still trying to figure out what in the hell direction "behind" is.

That being said, why would you expect Erik, or anyone else on this site to debate you when you don't even acknowledge our questions and refuse to back up your claims? Suddenly if the format was a formalized debate setting instead of an online forum you would be ready to back up your claims with facts? I highly doubt that.

Question - was TW ‘s intent to release , hit or throw with his hands ? Since the normal reaction time for a human is 1/10 second - could that be possible for any human ? If not, what squared his clubface????

You don't think he can cup or palmar flex his left wrist from A4-A6?

No sir, I don’t! If you closely observe his HANDS you will notice that the palm of his right hand is facing directly away from his torso and obviously the back of his left hand is facing in the same direction . This indicates that he was PULLING his lever down with the strongest parts of his hands - that part that Karate experts use to break brick - the butts ! His intent could not have been to square the face with his hands . That would be impossible for a human .    If TW ‘s intent was to square the face with his hands it would have been necessary for him to perform that way before this position. Any effort to apply power during the DS with the hands is disastrous. The HANDS control the action , but they must not be allowed to hit , throw or release. That requires timing and everyone knows what that brings.
      His has trained his hands ( particularly his dominant right) to perform in a  manner that is totally opposite to the human genetics design . And he did I better than anybody else .

I welcome debate from anyone who would like to question my info, but I am not interested in any childish personal attacks towards me . I ignore those !

Let's be clear about something, @Lane Holt. This is the question I asked. I did not ask if he DID do either of those things, I asked if he could in those 0.2 seconds.

Because many players do those things in that time.

Dustin Johnson goes from extremely palmar flexed to fairly neutral (flat) around impact.

Matt Wolff goes from extended to flexed from A4 to A6.

Matt_Wolff_A4_A6.jpg

He does so largely so he can "square the face." George Gankas has talked about it, he's talked about it. It's his intent, and he does it.

Add "impossible" to the list of words to which you don't seem to understand the definition.

Oh brother.

You don't welcome debate, man. You can't even quote the person to whom you're replying. People have asked you for evidence, proof, pointed out that you don't use words properly… and you just ignore them and move on. That's not a debate - that's intellectual dishonesty.

The rules for you going forward:

  • If you're going to respond to someone, quote them. If you're only replying to a bit of what they're saying, quote that part only, so long as it's not leaving out the context, or quote the whole thing but bold only the part you're replying to.
  • You'll make an effort to actually engage with and discuss the posts others are making. If they take the time to say something to you, to attempt to engage in an actual debate with you, you will honor their time by responding. Debates are not just you lecturing and ignoring all questions, all feedback. There's got to be a bit of reciprocity.

Fail to do those two simple things and your time here will be short, because this isn't a platform for lectures without engagement, without discussion, without debate. To allow that is to waste everyone's time.

Iacas,

    I thought I answered that adequately in the first words of my previous post ! I base my answer on what I perceive are facts and logic and I don’t care whether others believe it or not . I understand that it would be impossible since it takes 1/10 seconds for messages to travel between the human brain and it’s dominant hands and in that very short period of time it would not be possible to alter or change . No human could possibly know where their hands are in 2/10 seconds of the DS and suddenly decide it is time to square the face with their hands . Human just don’t work that way . 
   If others think a human could then fine with me . No one has to believe me . I am used to that ! Theory and opinion is  much more intriguing.

A belief is not a fact. Facts are not perceived by one person and not perceived by another. Facts are universal. What comes out of ones mouth is not always a fact, and most likely an opinion.

WHAT did you answer? You said something was impossible, then I showed you that it's not, and now we're back to "No, I don't"?

Last chance to follow the two simple rules I laid out above.

We've yet to see many of either facts or logic from you.

I don't "believe" that 2+2=4. Facts aren't something that you can "believe" in. They're truths. They just "are."

I'm not talking about from A6 to A7 (which takes place in FAR less time than 1/10th of a second). I'm talking about the entire downswing. And an action that began before A6 can continue through A6 to A7, and A8 even.

Ah, classic.

You've either goalpost shifted here, or you've made a very, very unclear argument to this point.

Nobody is talking about "squaring the face" from only A6 onward except you. Nobody is saying any golfer "reacts" to what he feels at A6 and makes a change before impact.

I've said many times on this forum nobody can change anything after ~A5, after all.

But that's not what's been discussed, particularly since the topic is "transition". Transition ain't A6 to A7.

    • Finland: I've played Mid-Night Golf in Finland. Really cool. I looked at the schedule for my week out there and I saw that we were teeing off at 9PM... Feels weird, 9 PM tee time. But it was really great. We finished well after 1AM and sat around and drank on the golf course terrace. It was cool. It's really easy to loose track of time when the sun doesn't set.  Here's a picture of me in Finland hitting my approach on the final hole. It's roughly 1:30AM in this photo.  Egypt: Another cool experience was playing golf in Egypt. The entire course is sand. The greens are called browns, cuz they are just sand with oil poured on them and pounded down a bit. Your ball gets kind of oily when you putt, but the caddy cleans it for you after each hole. You carry around a little piece of fake grass (maybe 2 foot square) and place your ball on it each time before you hit. That is except when you go into a sandtrap. The sandtraps are just areas marked off where you don't get to use your little piece of astro-turf. Sometimes they are dug down a bit to make a bunker, sometimes not.  Spain: No special events or anything, but I played a bunch of golf in Spain in the mid-1990's. At that time Spain's economy wasn't doing the best and Europe hadn't quite switched to the Euro. So Spain was using the Peseta. The country of Spain has some incredibly breathtaking courses. (incredible scenery in general) But because of the conversion from the dollar to the Peseta (If memory serves it was 150 to 1), I got to play them for what I remember as being incredibly inexpensive prices. Gorgeous country and really nice people.  Holland or The Netherlands: I lived for a couple of years in what's called The Flevoland in Holland. It's one of the Dutch provinces and it's all land that was recovered from the sea. So, it's all under sea-level. One of the courses I played a few times out there had flags on every hole to show just how deep the water would be if it wasn't for the dams. 
    • Yeah, that's right. I remember now. Pia Nilsson. I've read a couple of her books. "Be A Player" and "Every Shot Must Have A Purpose".  I read them back maybe 10 years ago. ... maybe 5? ... pre-pandemic anyway.  Good memory. 
    • Having had the opportunity to live and work in a few different countries, I've encountered some golf traditions, whether they are well-established customs or unique experiences at local courses. While not all of these are widely practiced, they highlight the diversity and creativity in the golfing world. 1. Japan - The O-Bon Golf Festival In Japan, during the O-Bon (lantern) Festival, I've seen golf courses hosting night golf events with glowing balls and lantern-lit fairways. It's a serene and beautiful way to combine golf with culture.  2. Scotland - The Guising Golfers In Scotland, around Halloween, I've come across golfers participating in "guising," where they dress up in costumes and play a round of golf. It adds a festive twist and a lot of fun to the game. 3. South Korea - The New Year's Honbae In South Korea, golfers play a round of golf on New Year's Day, followed by a celebratory meal and drinks (9th hole and after the game). It's a time for camaraderie and positive intentions for the year ahead. Besides new year's, on higher end courses, they often break on the 9th hole for some light food and drinks like fancy ramen and makgeolli rice wine (ordered in advance). 4. Australia - The Outback Golf Challenge (I have not experienced this one myself) In Australia, there is apparently an Outback Golf Challenge, where golfers navigate rough terrain and face unconventional obstacles. It's considered a true test of skill and adaptability (but hasn't produced many PGA golfers 😉 ). 5. Finland - The Midnight Sun Golf Tournament (I have not experienced this one myself) In Finland, the Midnight Sun Golf Tournament is where golfers play late into the evening under the perpetual twilight of the summer months. The endless daylight makes it a truly unique event. While these traditions may not be universally established, they represent the variety of golfing experiences around the world. I'm curious if any of you have encountered or participated in unique or local golf traditions, whether internationally or closer to home.
    • It's from "Every Shot Has a Purpose" which was co-written by one of Annika's coaches. Decent read about reducing uncertainty and committing to the golf shot.
    • Ah, I didn't realize this was about standing over the ball versus time to play the shot. Definitely two different things there. Yea I would imagine being static over the ball/taking a long time over the ball does make things worse in the long run, hence all the waggles guys will do before pulling the trigger.
