It seems to me, that this is the only thing that ever seems to get debated.
Ya it is a hot topic it seems. (important tho no?...look at all the responses even)
Look how easily we got on it this time around.

I notice in another place in cyberspace that there is pictures of Lynn with a tripod (from a 10-5-E variation for hitting and a handheld hence non-level camera that is not square on the plane line, playing in the middle of winter in a windy day and I think he said he had 5 layers of clothes on - I might add). Through my work in 3d - just a few degrees out and you can find that you can totally change the impression of things. I mean its laughable, this is the guy that said he needs some solid scientific proof and he then takes from a ghosty and double compressed video and makes some suspicious pictures. Do you recon these where good conditions from which to judge???
Yes.

Lack of their knowledge never allows them to debate anything else...
Yes.

Unfortunately for the naysayers, this does not detract from the principle. And for every person that you can find that sways, I can find one with a perfectly centered pivot. There is the ideal and like in every game you play, every deviation of it - you lose....
It is possible and it is correct...
"Possible" I of course have no problem with. Even "possible to play world class golf with extreme precision"...no problem with that whatsoever.
Again: "Whatever works (best)."
...
However, it is "correct" (or "perfect" or "always ideal" or "superior" or w/e other rigid words) that I do not like....
...when it is given as the only option I mean.
And in my opinion, "you lose" is incorrect, or (at the very least) very incomplete.

There are so many posts to answer...(and lord knows I can't stop now)...
...
Posts #121 and 122 (almost didn't get through 122 tho...I'm very tired) are typical...and even seem very logical BTW.
That is not "end of story" tho by any means.
You have regurgitated what Homer says and have not addressed WHY it is possible to play such good golf with a head that is not Stationary or not always Stationary between the feet.
To answer quickly, my response (and there are those who know much better than me) would be that anatomical "things" make it reliable (I know that is vague but it's Friday night and I don't really care...think about it for a bit tho)....
...as an aside from the simple logic and Geometry of "Low Point is here and if your head moves Low Point moves and must then move back."
Again that is only my answer and there are those who know much better than me.
...
I'm gonna toss in a "whatever works (best)" here too BTW. (*toss*)

Uh no thanks Justin. (it's Justin right?)
I understand the "compensations" very well thank you. Glad you actually listed them tho. (some ppl say things and don't give any reasoning)

Everyone has compensations in their swings, so live with it. Sometimes, getting rid of or minimising these compensations will improve your ball striking. Sometimes it won't. The student and teacher has to figure it out. For a purpose built machine, it certainly will improve its ball striking. But humans are not machines no matter how much we want it to be.
