It's the part that strikes the Ball. But when Pulling or Pushing, think that you're pulling or pushing the entire Wedge Structure, not simply the Club. Daryl is right on, here. The Flying Wedges rule! Homer Kelley identified them in the first edition of The Golfing Machine, but as he later said, "I didn't know what I had". Over time, he came to understand their true importance, and he used later editions to define their respective alignments. Also, their relationships with the other Stroke Components and, indeed, the essential Geometry of the Stroke itself. Specifically to Daryl's point, Mr. Kelley emphasized maintaining the entire structure of each of the Wedges -- Left Arm and Right Forearm -- throughout the Stroke and especially during the Impact Interval: Left Arm Flying Wedge " . . . and remember to take the whole Primary Lever Assembly -- the Left Arm, the Hands, Clubshaft and Clubhead -- into Impact. It is the Hands AND Clubhead -- not just the Clubhead -- that define the Plane." [The Flat Left Wrist / 4-D-1]Right Forearm Flying Wedge " . . . it is absolutely MANDATORY that, Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm -- not just the Right Hand and/or Clubshaft -- that must be thrown, or driven, into Impact. " [The Major Basic Stroke / 7-3] Thanks for this reminder, Daryl. For the dedicated golfer seeking his most effective, efficient Stroke, nothing is more important. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
