Float loading
 

Are there any specific advantages with float loading?

I think it is an insurance policy against throw away.

You can load at the top, say Drag Loading PP3 or you can load somewhere before release on the Down Stroke- an option. For some it is their initial Loading of Lag- this down stroke load. For others it is a re-loading of “Lost Lag” –an additive insurance policy to prevent throw-away. Who doesn’t like to feel the pressure points in the Hands increase the clubhead lag on a chip shot.

Homer loved options. Though I bet his car had none. :eyes:

Thanks for Your answer 6bmike!
Are there any specific tricks to increase the lag in the downswing with float loading such as how to direct the hands from the top and down?

Pivot Lag
 

Ben Doyle is a "float loading freak!" Ben 'float loads' his putting stroke. From only watching him swing, I'll have to say that Float Loading is an increase in Pivot Lag. 6-C, "Every Lagging Component places a drag on its preceding Component...." Body- Hands- Clubhead. Since the Left Hand wrist cock is just a inch or two- I can not believe additional cocking can occur. The folding Right Arm at the elbow will cock the Left Wrist on the Back Swing.

Don't lost the right elbow- tug it.

LOL - That is a good one 6B!

Driving With Homer Kelley
 

Right you are, 6b.

Homer Kelley's car was an older model Oldsmobile (or, possibly, a Buick :scratch: ) with nothing more than the 'basics' in those days...an automatic transmission with power steering and a radio.

With Homer at the wheel, the five of us in our GSEM Class -- John Fey, Mike Holder, Greg McHatton, Steve Snyder and I -- piled into it on the afternoon of January 14, 1982. Our destination was the driving range Homer frequented in Seattle, Washington. And I know the windshield wipers worked, because they 'wump-wumped' all over the tape I recorded on our way back!

What a time.

What a man.

What a privilege.

I can't imagine what it must have been like . . . you are certainly one of the few and teh privileged. Y'all are few and far between.

Interesting that those windshield wipers were . . . Hinge Action of an Angular Motion on an Inclined Plane too huh? There ain't no golf laws . . . just universal laws.

Too good!


How great would it be to meet Homer Kelley?

If I had a time machine my first travel was always to hang and see the Beatles play 10 hrs a night in Hamburg. But now it would be to see Homer and bug that guy with the tape recorder in the Oldsmoble. :laughing9

You're officially a huge dork . . . of course I'd be in the back seat . . . and Mike O'd be in the trunk with his Scooby Doo Lunch Box humming the SWAT theme song.

Up and Down To Up and Down
 

And an Angled Hinge Action, at that!
