I dunno.....I just get the feeling that you and some people really are very opposed to this more-or-less entirely. Unless I missed something. Did I miss something??

Thank you for your clarifying reply, Birdie. I appreciate it.

Responding to your question...

I teach the Mechanics of Hinge Action and Swivel Action as defined in The Golfing Machine (2-G; 7-10 and 10-10).

What others choose to teach (and do) is their business. Including exaggerating the one (Swivel Action) in order to achieve the other (Hinge Action). Hopefully, they explain to the student the difference between 'Feel and Real' and their use of exaggeration -- a valid technique -- to achieve the ultimate goal. But if they don't, they don't. As I said, it is none of my business.

However, if I am asked in open forum if a certain exaggeration is a standard to be achieved, then that question becomes my business. The Instructor's job is to inform and explain. The Golfing Machine has given me the tools to do so with precision, and I choose that path. Let others do as they wish.

Sincerely, I am not "opposed" to those who choose to do it their 'own way.' Even if that way lies outside the 144 Catalogued Variations of Chapter 10. That is the purpose of the "X" Classification as introduced in 1-K and explained in 10-0.

In the words of Homer Kelley:

"The Star System does not advocate teaching 'unorthodox' procedures but does make provision for them." (10-0)
