Don't get me wrong as far as mechanics goes, Homers a legend in my eyes and measuring up with biomechanics, he's got the goods as well. Homer actually blows my mind, to have spent 27 years and to create this book is amazing achievement and how he figured 6-M-1 blows me out of the water, amazing.
I teach use to teach T.G.M myself, but my experience I have had students on video look flawless on video but can't break 80, but after screening them, it had nothing to do with mechanics it was their body motion, incorrect pivot speeds, had no muscular loading, incorrect kinetic sequence which video couldn't pick up. Once I fixed their human motion they can break 80 week in week out.

I now stepped out of the world of coaching and into human motion you can't combine both, this leads confusion to everyone.
So I've gone down a new road of human body motion and trained in this field.

But here is a little story in O.Z i was crowned to be the next Greg Norman, I could play in my day, two weeks before I was to fly out and play European tour I was crushed between to front enloaders, I spent four years learning to walk again.Doing Hydro therapy,pyhsio therapy in and out of hospitals. Last march I pick up my sticks in birth of a come back, I shot 108 first round back and 7 months later shot par, I could shot under par but not consistently enough, I had a block right we couldn't answer, this damaged my score every time, And was only maybe once or twice a round. Most times I threw in compensations to combat it. I went to G.S.E.D they had no answers , wasn't until I was screened till I found out what caused my problem wasn't mechanics.It was my start down sequence and ever so slight ,video could pick it up and also muscular loading, my hips weren't moving properly either which caused the block. I fixed my body motion and now I can go out and shot under par on my ear.
With out homer of human body motion this would not have been achievable.

I'm a Sport clinician(biomechanist) I measure all sports, no wires or sensors and use equal to the top of the range 6 dof vicon system. we measure ,running,any throwing sport, any kicking a ball sport, tennis,baseball,softball,volleyball,soccer,golf,cy cling,polo,track and field.
We can measure any sport even polo.
The amazing thing is in most sports even golf the kinetic linking is the same sequence, on video this may not appear to present what happens but this is what occurs when measuring human body motion

I worked with T.P.I for a while to discover they are stepping into the mechanically work which isn't what biomechanics is about, it's about human motion. And this is giving every one the wrong perception of biomechanics, who do they think they are walking into a world of mechanics,
I know from inside knowledge they are way off the eight ball especially with mechanics, there data is way off the eight ball, I have hitters and according to their data this was wrong, why ?all they can measure is swinging, but this data is way off too. And this is why they aren't getting results and I left incorrect data and hitters were getting destroyed cause they were trying to change them to swinging and to make things worse incorrect data . not good.

The company I'm with is all for Hitting and swinging, We love homers work, he's the man.
If I have a student who has a mechanical issue I would send them to yoda or you or dart in oz. this is their department. Not mine I'm human body motion not mechanics. For example if your hip pivot isn't accelerating of declerating correctly I teach students how to do this. Stuff that isn't measurable by mechanics.
Lets be honest here, have you ever had a player who looks great on video but can't hit or you can't work out why? The answer is there are no faults their mechanics are perfect, it's human body motion which is the problem.
I think this is the missing link to homers work and unfortunately homer wasn't around long enough but I'm sure he would have teamed up with our world.
Homer is 100% pure with mechanics and I admire the man and love his work.
His work helped me understand the world I'm in, when a coaches comes to me I can speak homers lingo to help them combine mechanics with human body motion, it awesome, god bless homer
