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.

yoda,

not only has matthew and made a valuable contributions to golfdom but you especially have. as have very many of the people posting on your site. many of them have a great understanding and committment to the golfing machine. that is why your site is by far the best golfing website.

i love the idea of multimedia and maybe "deep divisions over the presentation and/or interpretation" is an overstatement. but i did say could and not would . i know that you are faithful to the book and any interpretationof the book by you would be great !

but i think what i had in mind was a totally comprehensive multimedia presentation of the entire book , relationships , possible stroke patterns, incompatible component parts. being completely faithful to the book inthat regard might be easier to do than i think, but it seems extremely hard. and it seems that with only the book itself there are at least "divisions" of followers of the golfing machine. but keep doing the multimedia. i think it's great !

your golfing machine comrade in arms
