Hi there
I would like to know using a imaginary clock, and say your address position is 6 o'clock,
At what position on the clock do you think the take away would change from a basic to a aquired and then a full swing and the same with the follow through.
Sat we used the left arm as the hand of the clock,
This may sound like a silly question but if is so simple to use clock lines to assist in the transition between positions and to simplify the moves using a mirror.
Any help would be great here.
Regards
Addam

I don’t see the relevance of a clock face when learning Basic or Acquired Motions. You monitor the Hands, not the clubhead and the clock face lies flat- not on an incline, the clubhead like the hands travel up and back.

The ball is located on the Base Line- a straight Line that is attached to the Inclined Plane. Trace the Base Line, sometimes called the Incline Plane Line, with the Hands. The clubhead will take care of itself on your clock face. The Mind is in the Hands, not the clubhead.

Basic Motion is the clubhead moving two feet in both directions from the ball. Trace the straight Base Line with the hands and you will see the clubhead move in an arc. Trace Linear- Clubhead moves in an Arc. As Homer says, the only thing the moves in a curve is the clubhead.

Acquire Motion is Basic Motion that ‘acquired’ a motion. A slight weight shift, a shoulder turn, a wrist cock, roll, release and a follow-through.

Acquire Motion is still a Linear tracing of the Base Line with the arms not going past parallel to the ground. Clubhead should be pointed skyward.
