[O.B.Left]

Darn. Oh well, I'm wrong again...

Left to his own devices Steve Stricker has found an awesome way to get around the course though and one we can see as conforming to a lot of Homer's alignments. Too bad he thinks his loading is all wrong. Makes me wonder if he spent a lot of time trying to cock his left wrist earlier. Cock his left wrist with his hands or something. Im a late loader and I did, do sometimes, wont do again, as Yoda is my witness, I swear.

I see a Right arm on plane, extensor action, level left wrist, a repeating hinge action etc, etc. Snap Loading or float?

Even his dual vertical , straight back straight through putting would get Homer's nod of approval. While its Steering and a lob shot for longer shots, Homer thought that it was a fine procedure for putting..... interestingly, given that he is the father of the Arc of Approach. Of critical importance to Homer was the ability to replicate the putting Hinge Action, be it vertical or angled or horizontal even. Straight back , straight through with a square to the line face makes Hinge Action , Delivery line compliance easy to see and monitor , I guess, non planar though it is, in a clubshaft or sweetspot plane sense. With straight rails as a guide for the putter head its a sweetspot traveling in a straight line deal. The problem with it to my mind, or for me I should say, is the tendency to watch the clubhead as I putt and introduce corrective wobbles making the plane line three dimensional, "bending the plane line".

It is steering afterall, not something that will help you anywhere else unless you are trying hit a lob shot or cover the Angle of Approach or something totally crazy like that.......no offense to Ted Fort who's kitchen Im rattling around in here.......that man can steer 20' putts and 340 yard drives. But he also knows how to do it in a geometrically correct way .........which for the driver is not "Straight through towards the hole", thats for sure.
