The Incubator
Quote:
Hans, The Incubator is a mysterious and wondrous thing. Our job is to get whatever we can out of new concepts and then toss the rest into the Incubator. We then turn the 'egg' over every now and then, i.e., revisit the stored information to see if anything new presents itself. The process cannot be rushed, only gently and purposefully assisted. The 'chick' must hatch on its own -- peck its way from the inside out -- usually without warning. Homer Kelley understood and deliberately used the Incubator. He would "take it as fur as it would go" and then leave it alone and work in other areas. The ideas would always come. One day, for example, as he walked through his kitchen on his way in from his garage 'practice range,' he was blindsided by the Power Accumulator concept. "I realized there were only four Power Accumulators," he told me. "You could put them together in fifteen different ways, but there were only four. And just like that, I saw how I could catalog all the Components and Variations." Use your Incubator in the same way and you will gradually come to truly know The Golfing Machine. You will have discovered its treasure, which like the finest South African diamonds, lies hidden deep within the blue clay. |

And one of Percy's classic 'registered feels' is that of the 'in-to-out' downswing. Though his work lacked the scientific basis of the Inclined Plane, his descriptive phrases and imagery captured the necessity and feel of the Down Plane Inside-Out Impact. He was not only ahead of his own time, he was in many ways ahead of our own. As proof, witness a Golf World whose teaching remains mired in the world of 'seems as if'...and a Clubhead forever doomed to move 'inside-to along the line-to inside.' |
