I've seen his stuff. But nope not going there. I got a hunch on something that I think Mr. K had right. But I'm still chasing it down. Google is a wonderful thing.

At this point, it seems to me anyway, that walking is dependent upon how our mass is distributed. And as we "lean" or "tilt" our mass forward the Laws of Physics enable us to walk. It's like it was supposed to be . . . that if we stand up right then in turn we would walk. Top heavy mass leans forward, then leg movement follows. A lot of what I have read says that there is an "optimum" gait velocity at which we reach optimum efficiency. Also, they say that running is easier than walking. Other interesting things are the transition from walking to running.

I've got some ideas on what application this has to The Golfing Machine, but I'm still looking for the precise connection.

You got any thoughts on this? I think a lot of it has to do with our INTENT with regards to the execution of the golf shot. And as a result where our COM moves as a result.

You know golf better than me. Do you think this crap is at all relevant?

Or am I just . . .
