Set in its Impact Fix location, it does not Bob (3-F-7-C) and it does not Sway (3-F-7-D). It is the Stationary Post of 1-L #1 and #2 and the First Essential (2-0-A-1) of The Golfing Machine.
Do you have to do it?
No.
But if you don't, as in most things G.O.L.F., you will pay a price.
Per American Heritage (online edition): Stationary 1a. Not moving. b. Not capable of being moved; fixed.
Uh oh...now I have an issue. The 'standard' definition doesnt meah....however...I believe Homer used this term to designate the head in and of itself. Meaning...the head doesnt move just for moving's sake.
Ok - let me look further.
'Sway' (again, American Heritage Online). To swing back and forth or to and fro.
Ok, now that makes sense. Certainly the 'head' isnt moving 'back' and 'fro'.
Hmmm... 'Bob' To cause to move up and down (second and most appropriate definition).
So....
Given the description in 1-L, I am with Lynn - albeit with some 'extra's' courtesy of American Heritage.
Bottom line - the Stationary Head may turn but it does not Bob nor does it Sway.
Thats my stance and I am not going to Bob or Sway on it.....
I noticed that you do this very well when these pictures were first posted.
Can someone with less than optimal flexibility maintain this stationary head:
1. Without introducing compensation
2. Make a GOLF stroke without compensation?
Thanks
Hi Wolfman,
Hopefully, Lynn or Luke are all over this....
However.
I have a question.
If you were to build a machine to do anything - would you want its center to move??? No. Why? Erratic results, correct? Maybe you get lucky one time, but not so lucky the next 550 times.
And that is the crux of the question....at least in my opinion.
