Stationary Head - To be or not to be

[Sonic_Doom]

And all that I wanted was "how you would interpret the additional text"!

Define interpret,,, just kiddin. It turned into quite a thread eh?

Can we all agree on that by having a stationary head, it is easier to return the clubhead to the ball more accurately than without a stationary head?

Crux of the matter. Taken to the extreme, it would be nearly impossible to return the club to the ball accurately with head movement of lets say 6" and certainly easier with a stationary head. But most players exhibit some movement. So where can we draw the line?

IMO, staionary is the promised land and with incremental degrees of movement, consistent clubhead to ball delivery gets tougher (not impossible, just tougher).

Disagree.

I'm done tho. (at least for now...could change tomorrow who knows)

I spoke with Lynn today about shooting a video to help clear the fog.
Like everything else, to do it right takes practice.

If you ever get paired with Mike O . . . better Sway Bob and move your head all over the place. Last guy that beat him ended up hotdawg chili.

Watch the video of Mr Kelley on this site. I figure 40 yrs of study and practice he could replicate what he taught.

His chin swivels to the right- does his head move? It appears to slighlty.

I focus on his pivot. The pivot controls the sway or lack there of. Isn't the point for a stationary head to eliminate the sway and bob???

Here's the link. It is the only known video of Homer Kelley's swing.

So, how much is optimum?

Wait, I know!

Whatever works...

Yeah, bandaids... that's the ticket.

To Sonic_Doom:

Yes you are EXACTLY right.

It's not a hard concept:

I'll take my ball consistently further and straighter....however I can. THEN I'll attach the 'why' too.

To Mr. efnef:

Bandaid for what exactly?
