As a student, please let me know if "getting there correctly" means taking a more specific path?

No, Doc. This was simply my explanation of Homer Kelley's dilemma: From Address, he visualized himself reaching the Top in perfect alignment, but from there...nothing. In other words, he basically had built only half a swing.

Let's listen to him tell about it:

"The biggest step for me was to visualize -- at Address -- the idea of coming down with the Bent Right Wrist...to 'see' it coming down and staying Bent. It was a big help to me because I would get to the Top, and I would forget about it...my mind would get stuck up there! And the Club would take off without me."

"But you know, until I began to dig up this stuff -- what was the difference? I really didn't have anything to think about on the Downstroke anyway! I didn't know what happened...all I was thinking about was the Green out there -- the Fairway. I really didn't get into position to hit the Ball."

Homer solved his problem with the thought of Right Forearm Plane Line Tracing. He now had a swing key to get him from the Top through Impact. He would visualize this Tracing at Address and remain totally conscious of it throughout the Stroke. It cured his Downstroke Blackout (3-F-5) and was the basis of his quote (from 3-B):

"To develop skill at Golf, your 'attention span' must be at least as long as your swing."
