I will never understand the ability of one person to say something to a computer screen they would not say to the person's face. Unreal.

Anyway. The definitions of lateral force, linear force into the ground, and sheer forces come from a mathematics and from what I know of bio-mechanics. Mr. Hogan moved his center of gravity to his left leg axis prior to the change of direction. He also used his athleticism to create forces from the ground.

My research:

Film
Angles drawn in 2 dimensional space (video)
Measurements with a micrometer
Discussions with Bio-guys at TPI seminars
People gifted in mathematics
Physics Professors at MS State

Just look at what Hogan did and explain it. It changed after the wreck and I would like anyone to explain all the complexities it involved. The pivot won the MS State Am, 4 high school state championships, and it had 3 players in USGA National championships. If all the geniuses on this page can get together and figure it ALL out we might get a USGA Champion.

So give a this redneck a break!

It is really pretty simple and John Schlee said it in "Maximum Golf." Let's get to a place we can turn from.
