Homer WAS the walking trackman of his era. He brought information to the masses that no one had.......some embraced it, and surely many immediately beat up on him and discredited him versus looking into it. To act as if he would just overlook anything and everything as if he already had every answer on every topic, while meant as a defense, is a discredit to his dedication.
Yup. Homer was in a real fight in his day. Up against guys who thought the balls initial direction was a product of path. "How could Jacks ball flight rules be wrong?" " The greatest golfer of all time , arguably ." etc. To which Homer reasoned that the laws of physics can not be ignored by anybody , even by Jack. That to curve the ball as he wished , he must have complied with physics . Even if only subconsciously. Very few could buy this explanation understandably but in the end he was right. Its something I find interesting. All those perfect little cut shots Jack hit , all those guys hit. Man. I did it myself too. Weird.
Sean Foley said that he watched Jack's clinic at the Memorial a few years back and saw him as shaping the shot with his path. Despite the fact he was still saying he did it the other way round.
A Trackman in Homers hands would have validated his side of that debate.
P.S . I am not saying Homer was perfect by the way. Amazing , but no ones perfect.
