Man , thats beautiful footage. Flywheel and one moving in sync with the arm swing. But what the heck does that mean mechanically? We can see it , feel it like MJ says but what is it about those swings that we are so attracted to. Balance, grace , power etc etc . Yes but consider what Homer meant by Rhythm and how the pivot and the arms must move in sync to ensure Rhythm.
Homers concept of Rhythm requires the clubhead , clubshaft , hands , arms to moving as a unit , in line , with a constant RPM about its centre albeit with different surface speeds depending upon how far away they are from the centre. Break the left wrist and break the Rhythm .
I have this sneaking suspicion that when good golfers hit a bad shot its a Rhythm problem , but born out of a mis matched Pivot and Primary Lever rate of rotation. Tension can do it . Over acceleration , quitting.
I do not understand why HK didn't include Rhythm as the 4th Imperative. There are many good ball strikers who bob and/or sway, but none without Rhythm.

Because of the difference between the definition for IMPERATIVE and ESSENTIAL. Rhythm belongs in the ESSENTIALS "bracket" as does balance and stationary "head".
Essentials are a higher standard than imperative

Interesting point.
I suppose when you assume a flat left wrist, Rhythm is also assumed . Regardless , Rhythm and the co ordination of pivot turn and #3 roll are crucial.
Can you have poor Rhythm and a Flat Left Wrist? We must at odds with our definitions . Not uncommon.
There are 2 parts to HK's rhythm. The same RPM for BOTH lever assemblies- That is the flat wrist piece. The second is a steady/even (smooth) overtaking rate. I believe it is possible to have either, both or neither, and the second, overtaking rate, can have a "broad" range.

But if you had a flat left wrist would not the entire Primary Lever club head, hands, arms be travelling at the same RPM about the Primary Lever's centre? Isnt that Rhythm , capital R by definition?

That is 1/2. The smooth overtaking rate (I said can be very broad) is the other half of rhythm.
Example-a smooth flippy swing may be good part 2, a hip or elbow stall making a "jerky" motion with flat left wrist is only part one.
Not articulate but done.
