Let me write a lil point or two about things I would of also liked to point out...
Don't you find with practicing alignments that doing different exercises where the material and weight of what your working on affects the control and allows you to fine tune in a way you could never of before. Instead of this object of weight, you can just go right back to basics and have this perfectly light object you can wield it back and forth, just so light, so easy. You are now given the opportunity to zone in closely. Just getting confident, just getting that perfectly aligned thrust, that perfectly aligned L.F. Wedge..Did I make the dowel pass my hands from impact to followthrough the way I wanted (basic motion segment of the hands - hinge action, no swivels), did I empty all my accumulators all out by the end of follow-through hence full extension where the triangle and the longitudinal center of gravity could actually rest on its own tabletop (plane) with the left arm tilting against the inclined plane after its valient blow... learning to feel that perfectly controlled primary lever assembly, moving in its dynamically controlled radius, that perfect drive or that perfect drag where as little as an object like a dowel may be, it is just enough that you can just get that little reminder of lag pressure in your hands whilst your working to keep you on track on what your aiming and where your aiming it to.....
You can look at the floor and do something just as simple to lets say ...lay a dowel down. Hold the other like a golf club, trace and just glide smoothly down the plane line, with a flying 'perfect speed' like a seagull gliding, gliding (can you see it!) swooping down from the fear striken and looming sky (thanks lynn ). That lag pressure floating down the plane by training and sencing by those beautifully acute pressure points 'guiding' operating the way they should be..active or passive, or passively sencing... all floating inside this 3d enviroment....space the final frontier... these are the voyages of the golfing machine exercises... their continuing mission to seek out new space and new alignments... to boldly go to where your pressure points have never gone before.... (Uhmmmmm...lol).
I can tell you who it is from. Homer Kelley - who researched golf mechanics went a metaphorical quantum leap into the furure, encapsulated all for you. He has written it down. It has always been to me that his service to golf is that he always made sure you had a way to go if you really really looked hard enough you could find the answers that you where looking for that no one could answer. He has handed you his map, his guide, the best way to play this game golf. The lines on his map come alive in this still void, he explains this moving structure of the power package, and the physics behind this liquid lag pressure as you drag or drive into this violent collision. The geometric shapes that are made and formed being monitored in the present of the running computer processing its program.
Dowels can do it all for you, perfect geometric alignments, and use the physics to "knock, hell out of it kid"(as Steward Maiden might say)... it is good to remember the child in you that just wanted to beat that ball into oblivion and try and smack and deform the ball without a thought of anything else but you now know how to use that enthusiasm - physics and alignments! When doing an exercise with a dowel it is always good to do an exercise long enough to get in a trance like state where your mind is not conscienciously thinking about this shape, it just does it.... it sees it, it believes it.... its got it!... that is your goal... to own it
