Can't speak for Homer Kelly on that. But I'll give you my answer. First I would say NO to your question. But I would say that doesn't mean that everything else is less important than the essentials. I would consider the stationary head part of component 12 and Rhythm component 10. All the other components are equally important - including extensor action- accumulators, flying wedges, etc. basically everything in the book- it's all important.

Finally, and just my perspective- the Golfing Machine really covers what Homer considers the important principles - components of the golf swing. To me it's kind of like a kid drawing a stick figure of a man- and saying that is MAN. It is but there's alot more to it than that. Initially, the Golfing Machine is a fascinating world and you apply the concepts literally and to the best of your ability. But eventually- after you understand and have applied the concepts- you need to realize there is more to it than the stick figure. So go in and look at the Bark of the tree but at some point when you've analyzed the Bark as much as you can - pull back out and see the whole forest- and then make it your own.

P.S. Ted- I saw you snuck in between my posts- great news on the watch! I'll PM Lynn with my home address.
