In an audio Mr. Kelley comments on why the head while acknowledging the neck may be more geometrically correct. He goes on to indicate it remained for him to confirm the geometrically correct conclusion.
Doc and I have been doing some PMing -- thanks Doc! -- and here is the exact quote from Homer Kelley regarding the use of the 'point between the shoulders' (the 'back of the neck' versus the Head) as the Pivot Center:
"There could be some argument about whether it is the back of the neck or the head. I advocate the head. If you use that as the pivot center...the eyes will tell you when you have moved. If you move your head with the back of the neck center you have nothing then to go by. I don't think it is nearly as dependable.....geometrically you could say it is more correct but I have come to some information that it is not that correct either (pause)...effective either."
What Homer is saying here is that one could argue that the 'between the shoulders' is more geometrically correct because, as he says in 2-H:
"The spine, between the shoulders, is the [true] center of the Shoulder Turn..."
So, what he is saying is that the spine, not the Head, is the Pivot's true geometric center (and not the Head). However, he is also saying that for practical purposes, the golfer is better off using the Head because the 'point between the shoulders' "...is not nearly as dependable."
