[Yoda]

Yoda - I have been deciding whether to respond to your last post. Your tone is demeaning and ill-conducive to an ongoing debate. Why can't you simply state your disagreements without pontificatiing, and implying that you are the final arbiter of the "truth"?

I don't think that you understand my perspective.

Yes, Jeff, I suppose my post was a bit much. But, you know what? For some reason, you inspire that in me!

Oh, and I completely understand your perspective on centripetal force, both from the 'hand's' point of view (Door #1) and the 'ball's' point of view (Door #2). Goodness knows you've spent enough time educating me. And your writings do indicate that you understand the essence of the forces involved. Yet, you then totally deep-end and restate to your own end basic laws of physics that have been accepted since the time Isaac Newton wrote his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687). You put up a lot of good stuff, Jeff, but man, you make it difficult to sit idly by as you reinvent concepts that have served mankind well for centuries.

To me, that's arrogance.

And when I see it, I call it.

Then again, that's why I've created this Golf By Jeff Forum and given you domain. Here you can pick things apart to your heart's content and enjoy relative freedom from my comment. But, it's also why I've put a 'caveat emptor' sign at the front door and stated that your presence here does not imply endorsement of your opinions by LBG.
