The real question as you put it is this-how would a machine built like a human do it?

But humans aren't machines....and Homer's machine looks nothing like a human.

It's theoretical man.....I mean.....it's all logical really...

1L: "The Post may turn (Pivot) but does not "sway" or "bob."

Very logical in theory (esp. for a machine)....but theory none the less.

I know it's Homer etc. etc.....but it's theory...what can I say.

...

I'm not even gonna sit here and argue what I think works best most of the time....that one we've been thru in depth.....all it'll ever do is go back and fourth.

All I can really ever say is do what works for you....if you've given each a good honest try and something works better for you then that would be good enough for me...and should be good enough for anyone.

Whatever works......

I mean, you can throw as much theory and "Homer says" and other junk at it as you want but the bottom line is I want my ball further and straighter down the fairway from shot to shot and I'll do whatever does that for me.

I don't see why you'd want it any other way.

Why consider everyones abilities, habits, limitations? It just leads to band-aids i.e. I can't do X so I'll do Y cause that works better for me. X is the way whether the golfing public can do it or not.

Uncompensated, precise, that is TGM to me.

That's the thing tho....

And it relates to what I said above.....

That's only if you take this all as more than theory.

Homer was the man yes....

But what is uncompensated, ideal, perfect, etc? It's debateable.....

I don't even know what else to say but I hope you get my point.

Golf instruction is another topic.

In a way, it's one facet of the topic.....

i.e. swing training vs. long-term swing goals....

i.e. if a student reverse pivots get em to turn their left shoulder over their right knee in the backswing to train the pivot....then once that's trained you can teach em whatever pivot you want. And no I don't think a "tripod" is always the best long-term goal.
