So what you're saying is...you smell your way to a steady head?
Thanks for the input.
In my 4,000+ posts on this site, you, young man -- you, young PGA Professional -- have been given the fruit of my life in Golf, including my association with my mentor, Homer Kelley. I wish I could recapture my own youth and keep the knowledge I have today. But, alas, that cannot be, so I have gifted it to you.
And yet...
You return stone for bread.
At some point in your life you may find a better bargain. But...
I think not.
Meanwhile, as I attempt to make a better world for people exactly like you -- and exactly like me in my youth -- I read your gratuitous post...
I guess you don't want to respond to my posts. (maybe I wrote too much...?)
That's ok tho.

Annikan...
Never been to one of those labs. (man you've done your homework eh....crazy science stuff comin out from all over the place )
Anyhow...
I think a base of neck pivot centre is very valuable for teaching people to pivot (so they don't reverse pivot)...and obviously not only that....but also for playing to a high level of precision. (and power) For some people.
But a head pivot centre works well too- for some people...for some shots. I don't know tho...if it's as valuable for teaching slicers....? I also feel it can be dynamic (obviosuly...look at Freddie Couples)...but not as dynamic....(less likely to see any very very long hitters or long drive guys using it anytime soon)
I'm gonna try to bow out of this one on that....(prolly will be back tho)

Lynn - I'm curious to know of any discussions or recordings in which Homer talks about the center of balance in the context of the centered head? I have often wondered why he decided on the essential of a steady head and not simply a "center of balance" or a "centered arc".
Certainly the relationship between the hands and eyes must have been critical, as you have mentioned, the eyes are a critical component of the human machine to be sure.

I have recordings of all three of the Golf Stroke Engineering Master classes Homer Kelley lived to conduct. I do not recall any such discussion relating the Centered Head to a "center of balance" or even to the body's center of gravity.
Note that in The Glossary, he defines Balance as "Holding the center of gravity of the body inside The Stance without moving the Head."
