Mathew's animations in our Gallery represent the promise of those future multimedia presentations. He and I collaborated as LBG was getting underway. I had long dreamed of seeing Hinge Action (and the Geometry of the Circle and the Plane and a number of other things!) as an animated presentation. When he produced his 3-D animation -- he is not a professional and taught himself to use the software -- I was astonished. My posts introducing the Hinge Action Animation reflected my admiration for his creativity and conviction that it was nothing less than historic work.

Mathew had made it happen!

No big deal? I beg to differ. As few as four years ago, only a handful of people in the world (amateur or Authorized Instructor) truly understood Hinge Action. Fewer still could correctly articulate and demonstrate it. And then, via Mathew's inspiration and perspiration . . .

There it was!

Hinge Action visually presented so simply everyone could understand. For the human application, see my Hinge Action Videos #1 and #2 here: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/gallery...ry.php?cat=517

I was grateful to Mathew then.

We should all be grateful to him now.
