Stationary Head - To be or not to be

[birdie_man]

I dunno EdZ....I just don't think it's for me. (at least not in the direction I'm headed right now....at least...)

I think we are missing something here......

Since the debate of stationary head has come to my attention, I have been reading carefully the book and having thoughts of why Mr Kelley preferred a stationary head.

After reading some thread both here and on another place, I have noticed what I think could be the answer. So here is my take.

Golf is not similar to any other sport in the world that has a kind of ball in it. The biggest difference is namely the ball!

In all other sports, and please correct me if I am wrong, the ball is in motion and the player reacts/moves in accordance to it.

In Golf the ball is stationaryand my thoughts are that because of this, Mr Kelley preferred a stationary head to accurately return the clubhead back at the ball.

And then again, I could be wrong..... Bucket where are you?

From what I can gather he simply saw mostly Geometirical benefits. Or at least gave them the most weight. (from what I can gather anyway)

i.e. "the stationary post does not 'sway' or 'bob'"
