Michael Schroeder's Ponderation Thread

Posted: Thu 21:08, 17 May 2012

I have concluded that both Michael's great erudite background as well as very interesting studies on human body movement would require for a special thread.

Below you will find few posts that accompanied Michael's entrance to our small community.

Cheers

Dear Dariusz,

I am a German Philosopher and Golfer. I am amazed by Hogan since 10 Years, because I worked for Lufthansa and was weekly in the US, whatching golf and readng his books (also "Power Golf").

I studied archeology too and I write about the golfswing, making it understandable with "Ponderation" and "Kontrapost" (please google). I do this because "Ponderation" frees the egypt sculpture to human kinetic action in greek sculpture, introducing time and movement in space, a so called sphere, to the "stones", the marble.

I whold like to send you a PDF to confirm this, I have choosen the bio-cinetical grip as final part to my very "low one plane" and "out of Hary"-swing.[/img]

Herzlich Wilkommen, Michael Smile

It would be a great pleasure to read your PDF article, the more the golf swing motion is full of contrapposto and ponderation moments in time. In fact, when one thinks a bit deeper, these two could be used to describe the motion not worse than expansion/compression phases.

Feel free to express your thoughts here, this little forum is the place to do it without danger of unnecessary critics. Freethinkers and truthseekers are always warmly wecocmed here.

Cheers

This is a real warm welcome to your forum, thanks!

May be it is usefull for you to have a look onto my swing. I made sone photos like yours and it looks beautiful, since then I love my swing.

I call your grip "the dorsal-radial free grip" because in Germany most "Hulk Hogans" play the gorilla grip and they are wondering what dorsal left hand at the top of the backswing could mean. They think in cathegories of ulnar and palmar position, so I have choosen the opposit, as a dialectical philosopher, but it is yours and I tell it to everyone, because it really helps.

I need a mail adress where I can send the PDF and I have a question concerning upload of images.

Thanks so much, I feel a little bit at home.

Michael

Michael,

Do not hesitate to post a link to your swing. The forum is, unfortunately, not well prepared to put photos in posts but accepts links to free hosting sites such as e.g. tinypic.com. Never tried it but perhaps one can copy an IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards ?
Here's my trial:

Hurra ! It works !

So you need to upload the photo at tinypic.com, copy the IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards and paste it in the content of the post.

As regards your PDF, perhaps you can upload it also at such free hosting site so that everyone could have an access to it. Otherwise youst sent it to my mail address which is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and I will try to toy with uploading it.

Cheers

Dariusz,

the text is in German and if you like it I will post it, but I have to translate it first. golf speaks English by tradition and I like that.

Thanks for your Mail-adress.

Hallo to everyone,
thanks to Dariusz for introducing my concept of Ponderation to the members.

Ponderation as a principle integrates by itself a horizontally steady head, hip shift, body lag, double-pivot, a fixed front leg, to hit against ("step throw") and makes some more details of this golf swing visible. I took some aspects from Dariusz, especially throu his own concept in his videos!

I put the first chapter to the net and gave some Links to pages (mostly photos) that are also in my manuscript.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]

Anyone can have the full text in german up to now. Translation will take maybe 2 weeks. Any help with the language or with the content is welcome!

Thanks

Working on my text, Ifound out, that it lead me to Dariusz swing. In my cross-golf swing-theory, I offered a simple golfswing for cross-golfers. Therefor I stopped working on my text and I am going to start stepping foreward to a nice waggle and Dariusz"Trigger compression".

Ponderation itself, as a principle, can easily be overlooked and compared to the golfswing for any good golfer, if anyone is interrested in greek sculpture.
