"ADJUSTABLE CLAMPS" per 1-L. This is where TGM gets a little tricky. The HANDS DO NOTHING BUT HOLD ON... THEY ARE CLAMPS... BUT, THEY DO HAVE SENSORS IN THEM. The player FEELS, and MONITORS things through the SENSORS(Pressure Points #1, #2, and #3). The Player FEELS as if he is DRIVING THE CLUB WITH THE HANDS, or SWINGING the HANDS(5-O), but the HANDS are still just clamps, "holding on". The big mistake people make... is they are trying to hit the ball FORWARD, with the HANDS. The Hands SHOULD go towards the Aiming Point, whether it is the inside of the ball, or a point on the Plane Line, they are NOT MOVING ONLY FORWARD TOWARDS THE TARGET. This FORWARD, FLIPPING MOTION is not a reliable power source, and is one of the main reasons for "throwaway." The player may eventually FEEL as if he is doing everything with the HANDS, but we KNOW they are ACTUALLY CLAMPS. This is a really good post. Think about it. The Hands. Clamps... With (Pressure and Alignment) sensors. I like it! Thanks, Frank! __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
