Yeppers, I made a mistake.

His gallery includes both Doyle and Tomasello for instance. Homer Kelley is dead. He cannot validate or endorse anything anymore. Doyle, Tomasello, Sloan and Blake all spent time with him, as did other instructors. All have different methods, to say one is right or wrong, which Mr. Blake never does, is simply arrogant and outside the spirit of a book that is designed to open people's minds about the golf swing, not close them. Other sites out there have rabid supporters who attack anyone who disagrees,one hopes this site does not become one. Delaware Golf is a gentleman and devotee of Tomasello's teaching. He has never criticized Lynn Blake's teaching in any post, I reviewed all of them. No one other than Tomasello and Kelley know what they discussed, Homer's taped lessons reflect some thoughts not put in the Golfing Machine explicitly and I assume he was always adapting, as any good scientist. I find some of Tomasello's lessons fascinating, as I do with Blake, Sloan, Evans, Fort and many others. Suggesting Delaware Golf go elsewhere for providing a perspective that we can disagree with or suggesting that some pro who took the time to write an online book about his interpretation of the Golfing Machine have it burned reflects a closemindedness that in no way fits in with the forty year search for truth about golf that Homer Kelley devoted so much of his life to. Those on this post who were harshest have wonderful posts and I learn a lot from them. Civility is a lost quality on the internet, it would be nice if it existed here at least.
DG did not lead this thread with a mechanical concept because he did not want a mechanical discussion. He simply wanted a fight which I gave him so he'd feel some validation of his own animosity. I'll do better next time DG and just let you vent with your lack of grace.

You seem to enjoy the victim role so well. "Those mean LBG people are picking on me," sort of thing.

For your own edification DG, when you lead with an insult you are looking for more of the same.

Lead with a technical concept or technical observation to invite thoughtful discussion.
