OK there's no magic. For the test ,depress your mouse button right away and release when the background changes color. Should shave a few tenths off. My best was .151. MGJ is still has the quick draw award!
This thread is getting a bit off track and for that I apologize. Your thesis deserves much more constructive feedback, which I'm working on in my spare time.
The games are fun and as golfers we all like a challenge, but out of respect for the great effort Mike has put forth here, let's get back to the subject please.
The body responds on its own at times, no 'trying' involved.
So in a person who is well trained, I don't think it is a stretch to think that they can react faster than they even 'feel'.
Think about how you react to danger - hot stoves, stupid drivers etc - on automatic. When Tiger talks of adjusting, of 'saving' a shot, I certainly think he is letting his natural instinct take over - in fact we should all be playing that way - no try - just DO
react - like shooting a basketball
To ponder the timing involved seems unimportant IMO.

I'm not really a fan of training aids myself, not that they can't be very helpful. The point is that you need to change your movement to get better, which you can do on your own if you understand what your movement problem is and how to fix it. In the proper context, certainly training aids can help you improve a certain aspect of your movement.....
I know that my "thesis" is original, but for those that are interested (if any), I would certainly like more questions, disagreements, etc if they have them to flush out issues or problems.
I am going to post in the "Lab" a couple of more posts on "Integration" and "Feel: What is it and how do you use it." Which tie into my first post and this discussion- again for those that are interested.
Thanks Bagger.

Absorbing stuff here Mike. Your posts are one of the few to really bring out what Mr Kelly intended to be taught - instead of the Hands only or Pivot only groups.
Is this "thesis" just a thesis or has it been published? Sure would like to get my hands on the entire copy.
As pertains to your post, I am curious as to what training aids would you recommend if pushed to offer one?
Training Aids:
1) A Video Camera- used once every three months.
2) A good golfer watching you and giving you feedback on a daily basis
My thesis isn't published- but it could be if Bill Gates would send me a check to allow me the time to complete it! Somehow 4 girls, a wife, a job, managing a HOA, real estate mgmt & speculation, and MOST importantly - playing golf - get in the way.
