Triad..............

Fundamentals come in 3s
 

THE G.O.L.F. SWING IS:
1) THE HINGE ACTION = Clubface Control
2) Of an ANGULAR MOTION = Club head Control
3) On an INCLINED PLANE = Club shaft Control

THE IMPERATIVES ARE:
1) A “Flat” Left Wrist
2) A Club head Lag Pressure Point
3) A Straight Plane Line

THE ESSENTIALS ARE:
1) A Stationary Head
2) Balance
3) Rhythm

THE MACHINE CONTROLS THREE FUNCTIONS
1) The Inclined Plane is CLUBSHAFT Control – See 2-F and 4-0
2) The Pressure Points are CLUBHEAD Control – See 2-K and 4-0
3) The Left Wrist is CLUBFACE Control – See 2-G and 4-0

THE THREE STATIONS OF THE MACHINE
1) ADDRESS - be as prepared as possible
2) THE TOP - be as precise as possible
3) THE FINISH - be as smooth and complete as possible through Impact to the Finish

THE STAR SYSTEM TRIAD
1) ·The THREE IMPERATIVES (2-0)
2) ·Controlling the THREE FUNCTIONS (1-L-A/B/C)
3) ·Through the THREE STATIONS (12-3)

THREE ZONES
1) BODY CONTROL Pivot Body Balance
2) CLUB CONTROL Power Arms Force
3) BALL CONTROL Purpose Hands Direction

THE THREE BASIC WRIST MOTIONS CAN BE CLASSIFIED AS:
4-A. HORIZONTAL Bend and Arch CLUBSHAFT Grip Motion
4-B. PERPENDICULAR Cock and Uncock CLUBHEAD Wrist Motion
4-C. ROTATIONAL Turn and Roll CLUBFACE Hand Motion

These terms used to identify the separate conditions were selected as the most descriptive and adaptable.

TERMS FOR THE CENTER POSITION IN EACH CLASSIFICATIONS ARE:
4-A. FLAT (-A)
4-B. LEVEL (-B)
4-C. VERTICAL (-C).

This should be on a refrigerator magnet and a golf bag pocket.

I have a 3 X 5 card which I do stick to the refrigerator ( actually TV , golf bag or computer. and look at it before practice and when I screw up I read it again. The problem and the solution is always in there someplace.

The Triad is itself a triad of triplets.

It covers an amazing amount of ground, represents total club and ball control but simplifies, reduces golf to a motion which makes the shot.

If you watch Davis Love you can see him working the Three Stations quite clearly. Most of us only approach this motion after quitting for the day. " A screw it I quit." Then blammo, "now where'd that come from?" The shot on 18 that brings you back the next day. An ironic gift from the golf gods or a hint to golf's simplification? The secret power of the mulligan maybe too?

Impact is not a Station. Just a place you pass through on your way somewhere else.

Agreed 100%. Ask our friend RogerDodger what he thinks of that lesson! :salut:
