Possible that Homer may not have weighed this (human anatomy) as heavily as he should have? (although there is no doubt that in his 50 years or so of reasearch he thought of it)

What do yall think?

He WAS still researching....
Birdie,

With all due respect to your love of The Golfing Machine and your participation on this site -- which, by the way, I appreciate sincerely -- have you bought the book yet?

...

And regarding Homer Kelley and his consideration of the Head Pivot Center...

Yes, he thought about it.

A lot.

And he specifically referenced it -- Bucket, run your search and tell us how many times -- and deliberately chose it over the 'point-between-the-shoulders' alternative (mentioned once and as just that, a deliberately rejected alternative).

So...

Homer made his choice...in no uncertain terms...and made that choice known to all who choose to read his work. Yet, in his own inimitable way, he did not mandate yours. [2-H].

Plow new ground here, Birdie.

Homer Kelley has already plowed his.
