Thanks Mike,

Do i understand you correctly that, according to Homer, #4 is the least used?

That's right. Just too clarify- you might not use it in putting, you might not choose to use it in chipping, etc. etc.- so when you look at all the possible strokes- it would show up the least - compared to the others. You get the principle.

IT was trying to show up least . . . but now IT is back EVERYDAY . . . IT can't stay away . . . because IT is a mouth breathing degenerate compulsive freakazoid. Now IT is ubiquitous.

Bucket, will you please correct Mike O. in this matter. 4,1,2,3. Turn the lights on for him. It has nothing to do with usage frequency.

Daryl,
2nd time you've mentioned this so I'll assume you are not just joking and are serious. The question of the thread was - "Why in the book are the accumulators listed in "that" order i.e. right arm #1, left wrist #2, ..... . In other words- why didn't he just list them in order of their release sequence - so that the release sequence wasn't 4,1,2,3.

Sorry Mike O,

Thank you. I thought he was asking what was the meaning of 4,1,2,3. The Student wondered why HK didn't name the left arm #1 since the left arm is #1 to be released. I get it. I thought you were saying that #1 is released first. Duh. I need to read the questions better, and drink more often.

However, I think that confusion still exists. We do agree that the Release order is 4,1,2,3. But, he didn't name the right arm #1 because it is used more often.

He said "Accumulators are numbered in the order of their probable widest use in Stroke Type Combinations." Order of probable widest use, means "greatest number of combinations it can be applied to" and does not mean "most frequently applied".

Hmmm...good conversation.

Darly raises a great point - and makes sense to me especially with the quotes. I hadnt ever really thought of 'why', but makes sense - and i do not rememember ever discussing this anywhere.

Good stuff.

Love the quote! Reduces the conversation down to something specific. And I agree with everything in the post- except for the implied idea that we still disagree. In post #6 I was just winging it - but read my ENTIRE post and have another drink. This kind of stuff happens Daryl when you hang around Bucket- Alcohol is not good for the brain cells! Either way - it's good a clarification that you've made- you'll see that in my "on the fly" post #6 and in my drunken stupor - that I started off getting it close to right and then clarified it more precisely as the booze started to wear off. As Bucket would say "Holla Back" if we still need to clarify our conversation here.

I'm pretty sure you were just looking for ways to up your average post per day count.
