Jack and Coach C:

I wise golf professional once said: In any activity where a person is going to effectively apply force with his hands he must first arrange his feet and body. Newton’s law that “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction” is at work here. In order to exert a force in one direction it is necessary to set up a resistance in the opposite direction. The greater the resistance we can establish with the ground through our feet and legs, the more force we can apply through our hands. No resistance (ice), no force. This is one reason why I think Coach C’s point about positioning the lower body properly is well taken.

Coach C: don’t know who the Harvey P is, but my curiosity is piqued. Are you going to give us more details? If not on the site, please e-mail me with any information you care to share. nickkio@aol.com

Nick
