Cha . . . Ching. Boss is the wrist cock also a VERTICAL motion or just perpendicular? Or have I got my terms all mixed up?

Mutual Aid Society
 

The Wristcock is a Vertical motion, the same you would use in hammering a nail. That motion -- however aligned, i.e., hammering a nail into a foor, a wall or a pitched roof -- defines the Plane of the Left Arm Flying Wedge.

By definition.

ICE CREAM HEADACHE!!!!!!

Preachaman . . . So the motion is always PERPENDICULAR (Geometry. meeting a given line or surface at right angles) the Left Arm but Vertical to the selected Basic Plane of Motion?

I'll be over in the corner rocking if you need me.

Something perpendicular must be at a precise right angle to another line or plane but need not necessarily itself be vertical; something vertical is always at least roughly at right angles to the ground, the floor, or the horizon.

Ok Ok . . . So the motion is Vertical Hammering. But that motion must be made Perpendicular to the Left Arm to satisfy the Left Arm Flying Wedge and maintain the Law of the Flail.

For those about to ROCK . . . .

The Plane Truth About Wristcock
 

How about this, Bucket:

The Left Wristcock Motion (the Plane of Motion of the Clubhead) is Vertical (or perpendicular) to its directly opposing Plane. Again, this is the same motion used when hammering a nail into a floor (horizontal plane), a wall (vertical plane) or a pitched roof (angled plane).

This Motion is sometimes Vertical to the Plane of Motion of the Clubshaft (Angled). It is always Vertical to the Plane of Motion of the Clubface (Horizontal, Angled or Vertical).

very good post yoda once i learned from your post about the hammering and mantaining the left arm flying wedge it made all the different grip types make sense.

Yep yep! I would agree that post is a top 5 all time Fogbuster.

Are you a Turned Grip Guy?

funny about this post
 

I bought a tire for my students about a month ago.
thx Yoda

Thanks, Bantamben, Bucket and CP...

Your "Ah ha's" -- and my own! -- make it all worthwhile.

First Steps Toward Understanding MORAD
 

Ben,

As an introduction, know that I am totally ignorant in the MORAD System except that I know there are ten 'positions' of the Golf Stroke. Also, certain angles are measured in degrees (as opposed to TGM's absolutes, e.g., Flat, Vertical, Horizontal, Straight, Parallel, Centered and On Plane). I truly want to learn more, and we may well need a new Thread (or even a new Forum) to do the ideas justice.

But for now, my first questions:

Are you referring to degrees of Wristcock? If so, from what alignment? If possible, please reference TGM's Level, Cocked and Uncocked Wrist Conditions. Thanks!
