I sympathaize with your belief that HK's on-plane ideas are good enough to "hang one's hat on" (to use Mike's phrase). That's where my hat is personally hanging at the present time. When I introduced this thread, I was simply comparing HK's plane theory to another plane theory (Hank Haney's). I never stated that I had sympathy for Haney's plane theory, or any other non-HK plane theory. I simply thought that this forum was a suitable forum for serious intellectual discussions regarding golf swing theory (TGM swing theory in relatiionship to other swing theories). However, there is a subgroup of forum members who don't like to see anyone question HK's swing theories. They remind me of the radical Islamicists, who want to issue a fatwa on anyone who questions, or lampoons, their beliefs (eg. Salmon Rushdie or a Danish cartoonist). However, this is supposed to be an intellectually-sympathetic forum for the free expression of serious, but different, opinions regarding golf swing theory. Or isn't it? Are you arguing that only posts that idolise HK, and all his swing theories, should be allowed? I agree with you that HK's book may "offer the most", but it is not the Koran.
