No leadership there . . . . The Machine has a life of its own . . . it lives and breaths . . . it don't need no gas to run . . . . the book is sooooo much bigger than the home office . . . . read the book . . . . let it be your filter . . .

If somebody that is authorized says that something in the book is garbage . . . . who cares. Frankly some of the stuff in the earlier editions to me is better than what evolved. But hey . . . it's your golf game or your student. You have to put the components together and match them appropriately. If some schmuck wants to take a squirt on the book or what some other instructor is teaching . . . . let him throw down the turd . . . . he'll do a swan dive into it wittingly or unwittingly eventually.

Same ole playbook . . .

In the book's foreward, Homer indicates its intention is to be a toolbox for the golf professional. What each professional, authorized or not, does with the book seems to be his or her own business. I see nothing in the book that says it should never be challenged, or that new ideas should not be tested. Either it works or it does not.

Hitting a Homer
The Geometry of a Circle and the Physics of Rotation. Don't think those things are going to change.

Agreed, dodger, with certain reservations (and observations) which I will offer in a later post.

For now, I like your diirection. Let's take the thread there and move away from any 'instructor specific' comment. Otherwise, per our Posting Rules, we will have to close this thread.

Fair enough Boss but how can these motions be considered junk when they help alignments and give compression
I can understand the point of D plane and some flip going on ( as long as player controls them ) working but surely the pressure they exert on the ball is ordinary
Even if it takes a year to be able to take the motion into a full swing the player will be better off cause they won't need a different band-aid every time

Pistol,

I'm at dinner now, but just know that Sketch 1-L (and its 21 points) is the answer. Short Shots or Long, for any given Line of Compression (2-C-0), there must be a common Geometry (1-L #20). The only variant is Power (2-M-2).

Homer Kelley invited all comers who would challenge his work. He asked only one thing, the same thing he asked of himself:
"Prove it."

Ok guys so here is an outsiders take on the situation.

We dont care what some governed body says when it relates to the yellow book. Sorry to be so blunt it just sounds like a stupid situation. Let me ask this, did they ask any of you "guys doing the work" about it?

To me it sounds really like I have to do basic motion standing up on a pogo stick. Is that next?

I thought Caesar died a long time ago.

Elvis is dead, too, if no one knew.

FYI - I saw Elvis this morning at a 7-11 in Cedar Park, Texas. Alive and well!

was he practicing basic motion or was he flipping?
