[Yoda]

Yoda - you stated-: "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 . . ."

However, I resent the following series of statements-: "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."

I am obviously not attempting to reinvent Newtonian laws. I may be misunderstanding them, or misrepresenting them - but I am not arrogantly reinventing them. You know that! Also, if I am so obviously wrong, why didn't you bother to show me my errors by means of an explanatory logical argument?
[Bold emphasis by Yoda.]

Jeff,

The facts in my posts #154 and #157 presented my argument (without, BTW, wearing out my readers). I'm done on this one. Per my advance notice above, I have entered the "enjoy relative freedom from my comment" phase. Enjoy!



Meanwhile, for old times sake, there are at least two pieces of unfinished business on the table that I would appreciate your cleaning up:

From my post #129:

Jeff,

BTW, you state that you see in my photos a "phenomenon that [you] have seen many times previously. Before release, the clubshaft is bent backwards and after release the clubshaft is bent forward." Question: How do you explain "The Snake" (Photo #4 in my post #127 above), where "after release", the Shaft simultaneously is bent both backwards and forwards?



Please include the photo in your reply, and for the visually-challenged among us, please trace the Shaft with a yellow line. Thanks!

And from my post #150:

Jeff,

Assume a tethered ball in orbit around an axis. Does the tether (and its tension) serve as the centripetal force of that action? If not, what does? If so, how does that differ from the concept of the clubhead tethered to its center (left shoulder) by the left arm and clubshaft?

Thank you for your attention.
