Thanks for that perspective neil. I think there is a strong chance you are right. Further, as ThinkingPlus pointed out there are so many benefits to using local frames of reference when discussing the golf swing that I have changed my mind and believe it was the right decision.

But, Golf Sceptic, tell me you don't understand the book.

Ok. I don't understand the book

As I said in an email to yoda just now, I came to the site to try to understand why so much of Mr Kelley's book read like gobbledegook. I now have a different perspective thanks to yoda and ThinkingPlus (indirectly). The book now makes a whole lot more sense in many ways.

I won't miss the feeble minded populism of some of the contributors here, but I thank one contributor who took the time to find a reference to Encyclopaedia Brittanica which supports my position.
