Wouldn't it be the other way around?
Shift/transfer or COM/COP?
Wouldn't it be the other way around?
The words 'shift' and 'transfer' are synonyms ... they mean the same thing.
Sometimes.
Right ... so far in this thread, all while being in the context of the swing, you have gone from 'shift' and 'transfer' meaning the same thing, to 'shift' meaning phase-X of the swing and 'transfer' meaning phase-Y of the swing, to 'transfer' meaning phase-X of the swing and 'shift' meaning phase-Y of the swing.
I think you can see how someone new could get confused. Heck, you've been around for years and give the impression of being somewhat confused on the topic of transfer/shift.
Seems to me that understanding the phases would be the way to go. Start with FbC ... then overlap ... then explode.
Whatever floats your boat. Transfer/Shift ... Transfer then Shift ... Shift then Transfer ... FbC / Overlap / Explode.
Yep. I've been around for years...and I'm still working at improving my understanding of the swing. This thread was a step forward for me in understanding the physics a little better, and learn a more accurate way to differentiate two different types of movement (thanks, pattar and Shawn!). Maybe it helped someone else, too. That said, none of it is a replacement or revision of the mechanics that make those COM/COP movements happen.
Well then, in this thread some folks may have learned that there is a COP about the rear foot and the front foot, and that there is a higher correlation with swing speed to the COP about the front foot than the COP about the rear foot. In your opinion, what movement is happening that leads to higher swing speeds, and thus by correlation, more COP about the front foot?
