1) Bucket were you paying attention - my friend from Canader- referred to me as Mr. O- take note you 1/2 of a machine- bucket of nuts and bolts!:eyes: :happy3: :hang: (Hey, haven't used the old hanging head thingy for a while!- back off.)

2) Regarding Homer Kelley's swing- His swing and golf game would be nothing to aspire to (that's the Politically Correct answer!) He's not your jock athlete. He didn't practice to be a good player. His best handicap ever would have been a 8. I play more in one year than the guy played in five or many more.

He was a researcher. Did he understand the concepts that he discovered in order not to hit fat/thin throwaway shots- absolutely.

Instead of rambling on- the point to make is this: It doesn't matter how good or bad Homer Kelley was at the game of golf- it is a separate issue from the validity of the information in the Golfing Machine. Said differently- imagine that you never have played golf and you read and read and over a number of years understood the entire Golfing Machine book and all of it's principles and all of it's detail, etc.- finally you decide to buy some clubs, step out onto the first tee and hit your first shot- well you can finish the rest of the story.

The Truth About Homer's Swing
 

:(

No...

:crybaby:

Anyone who looks at this video of Homer Kelley's Swinging Golf Stroke -- deliberately abbreviated in accordance with his own words -- with its wonderful...

-- Standard Pivot and Lagging Clubhead Takeaway;

-- Snap Loading at the Top;

-- Delayed Release; and

-- Impeccable Impact and Follow-Through alignments...

And then utters the damning words in your quote...

Obviously has no concept of a geometrically-correct Golf Stroke.

So, how much is optimum?

Wait, I know!

Whatever works...

Yeah, bandaids... that's the ticket.

To Sonic_Doom:

Yes you are EXACTLY right. :)

It's not a hard concept:

I'll take my ball consistently further and straighter....however I can. THEN I'll attach the 'why' too.

To Mr. efnef:

Bandaid for what exactly?

Lynn you are spot-on...just like Mike O.

...

I have heard people "diss" this clip of Homer....obviously they know nothing.

Watching the Snead/Toski video on this sight Snead employs a stationary head. Can't argue with his success - 82 tour victories.

An Apology to Sonic Doom
 

Mr. Birdie Man, I withdraw my comment. I was out of line. And I apologize to you, Sonic Doom.

Efnef - That's funny, I was being a bit of a sarcastic SOB (to Birdie) to begin with!

Need more pictures to come to conclusions as to what a player did.

I really don't feel like lookin for em but as of now, for Snead, we have:

-rear view clip with head between feet (not sure what club in hand or what type of shot)

-face-on with driver...head moves away from target in Backstroke....at Top is back of between the feet

-Snead/Toski video (wedge shots?)....head pretty darn centered and Stationary from what I just watched.

...

Need to analyze lots of different years, clubs, shots to get full picture I think.
