9-1-5...Pics

Close, young Luke. Very close.

Actually, Homer is saying that something at the upper end of the Pivot -- not necessarily the Head -- must remain Stationary to stabilize the motion. He recommended the Head as the Pivot Center because you can tell when it moves (you can see more 'under' the Ball). However, you can alternatively choose to keep the top of the spine -- the point 'between the shoulders' -- stationary. Either way, there is no Sway. In both cases, there is a Centered Pivot Motion. It is all a matter of what the player monitors.

This is probably one of the best posts on the "through the head" pivot center or "through the base of the neck" pivot center debates.

Good stuff Yoda!

In the search for Truth, it helps to be able to call on friends from around the world. Exposed below is a major myth -- the 'away leaning' spine in the Backstroke. From Scotland, the Home of Golf, to your desktop, the Home of Lynn Blake Golf.

Thanks, Mathew!

I know you've been itching to get into this, Brian, and I knew you'd be here ASAP. So here we go! Please state your case.

These pictures were precisely done.

They just show a different look—just another way.

There are three problems with your Snead photos:

a)Your lines are generous towards your argument (I checked - because I know how to use photoshop properly....lol)

b) Your photos are taken dead-on his stance line which creates a parallax problem since snead hit shots with his driver with a closed stance

C) You do not take in consideration 1-L-2 - The post may turn (players head) but not sway or bob....

Here is a deadly accurate version of the tripod on snead..... (note the nice size of my picture too...lol)

Mathew,

All you are showing is that Snead did it more than one way.

I agree.

My pics are PRECISE too, as I'll put my photoshop skills up there with you, great one.

Also, I fudged them in your arguement's direction.

Come on, let's just agree there is MORE THAN ONE DAMN WAY.

Cool?

[brianmanzella]

Oh yeah...

...also notice I cleaned up your work , (much clearer...lol)
