Originally Posted by Thom Vertical hinging We have a winner...Thom! The way to prevent the normal Clubhead Overtaking (of the Hands) while maintaining the Rhythm of the Stroke (Left Arm and Clubshaft In Line) is to use Vertical Hinging. In other words, controlled Steering (Clubface held Square to the Plane Line). And since, by definition, a Cut Shot is any Shot using Vertical Hinging ('regardless of Plane Line or preceding Wrist Action'), the third way to Zero the #3 Accumulator could also be said to be: 'Play a Cut Shot' (2-C-2). Here are comments that might help clear some fog surrounding the answers of some of the other contenders: Originally Posted by annikan skywalker Change Grip Type.....10-2-E Sorry, Annikan, 10-2-E would permit both Horizontal and Angled Hinging, and each of these would produce the #3 Accumulator action and travel. Originally Posted by tongzilla 10-3-H Paw Same for you, Tongzilla, the Paw Stroke executed as a Cross Line procedure produces automatic Angled Hinging and its associated #3 Accumulator travel. Originally Posted by rwh Use the Strong Double Action Grip (10-2-D). No roll until after impact. Very close, rwh. But the Strong Double Action Grip can produce any Hinge Action, although it is used most often with Angled Hinging. Here, the Left Wrist remains Turned On Plane through Impact and is executed with the Feel of No Roll. However, this 'No Roll' Feel produces an automatic Angled Hinge Action and a 'Half Roll' of the Clubface. To produce the Vertical Hinge Action required for the Zero #3 Accumulator, the player must execute a Cut Shot. In turn, this mandates a 'Reverse Roll' Feel and a Square Clubface, i.e., 'No Roll.' Originally Posted by DD639 Then you have to include 10-3-G pick The Pick Minor Basic Stroke does not exclude #3 Accumulator travel. It specifies only Bent Arms and Forearms On Plane. Used in combination with the Push Basic Stroke, it produces automatic Angled Hinging and #3 Accumulator travel (unless, in the most unusual case, the Right Forearm is positioned parallel to the Plane Line). Originally Posted by phimaynard In my opinion, using a vertical hinge action there is no Power Accumulator #3 Right you are, phimaynard. But Thom arrived first on the scene, so the Accumulator Chalice goes to him. I emailed him his due victory congrats just after he posted, but I refrained from a public announcement at that time in order to encourage further participation. You, sir, are hereby awarded a Special Commendation because you had the courage to reiterate his position. This was fun, everybody, and I think we all learned something -- I know I did. Thanks to all who participated! __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
