This is my 1st post. Is the Homer Kelly book really hard to understand? If so is their a way to simplify it?

Hi, i'm new to The Golfing Machine too. I think we can probably find a good deal of improvement by understanding some of the basics without the need to understand the whole book. Kev advised me that these are the basics (below) & a good starting point. I think we also need to learn these basics in miniature first (called basic motion) - check it out in the video section, have you watched all the videos yet ?


THE G.O.L.F. SWING IS:
1) THE HINGE ACTION = Clubface Control
2) Of an ANGULAR MOTION = Club head Control
3) On an INCLINED PLANE = Club shaft Control

THE IMPERATIVES ARE:
1) A “Flat” Left Wrist
2) A Club head Lag Pressure Point
3) A Straight Plane Line

THE ESSENTIALS ARE:
1) A Stationary Head
2) Balance
3) Rhythm

THE MACHINE CONTROLS THREE FUNCTIONS
1) The Inclined Plane is CLUBSHAFT Control – See 2-F and 4-0
2) The Pressure Points are CLUBHEAD Control – See 2-K and 4-0
3) The Left Wrist is CLUBFACE Control – See 2-G and 4-0

THE THREE STATIONS OF THE MACHINE
1) ADDRESS - be as prepared as possible
2) THE TOP - be as precise as possible
3) THE FINISH - be as smooth and complete as possible through Impact to the Finish

THE STAR SYSTEM TRIAD
1) ·The THREE IMPERATIVES (2-0)
2) ·Controlling the THREE FUNCTIONS (1-L-A/B/C)
3) ·Through the THREE STATIONS (12-3)

Your conception of the book will determine it's utility for you.
 

I think of the book as an encyclopedic handbook, much like my old Boy Scout Field Manual. I look up something and get a bunch of neat other ideas. Then I search the topic here in the "search" section and watch any related videos which might apply. And, I ask related questions of the really good players here, including Mr. Blake, aka, "Yoda."

Your question telegraphs the fact that you do not presently own the book.

:laughing9

So, go to www.thegolfingmachine.com and buy it. Tell'em Lynn Blake sent you. No discount, but fun for me!

That's the first step, Smooth . . . .

Own the book.

After a while, though (as we who dwell here know) . . .

The book owns you.

:salut:

I will buy the book. Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. I have ordered the Alignment Golf DVD, i'm eagerly waiting to receive it.

Thanks,
Smooth Move
