just fyi,i dont think these guys are teaching the way homer wanted it taught.yes their info is in the book but it is not the most acceptable way.if you dont believe me then why do they not teach putting the right forearm on plane at address?too many extra moves in their model to be a truly great ball striker.a hand controlled pivot is far superior.i have tried it all in 25 years and nobody i mean nobody understands mr.kellys teachings better than lynn blake,rob noel,ted fort,jeff hull and a selective few.sorry to step on anyones toes but the truth will come to the forefront sooner than later.
I hastened here somewhat embarassed by a protracted absense, but a nagging panic ruled the evening after I picked up my Golf Digest.
For the the short version (for me), I am enthused that Homer Kelley's teachings are receiving a richly deserved dose of notoriety. Yet, what I think I saw were some constructs which are going to be disruptive for the average golfer. Consistently for me, any deviation from proper care in building and aligning the power package increases risk of fouling the Hinge or Plane.
I have it in the back of mind that handing the average Golf Digest reader a pivot based swing, with an active #4 Accumulator, and an instruction to "stand up" is a 3 ingredient recipe for them to come off of a solid commitment to the Line. It takes the cognitive focus out of the educated hands.
I can see there is much positive in their "swing". I do look forward to hearing the LBG masters' analysis.
PS.... The denotation of "cult' died a long time ago. The resonance of its connotation remains... likened to midnight showings of "Pink Flamingos" and people who worship robins' nests.

AGREED!!!! I think we're headin' down the sooner part of the road too!

John,
I think what they are teaching is a brain controlled pivot, not a hand controlled pivot. You may be right, however they are not teaching Homer's "Model" in chapter 12. The standard right knee action in the Second Edition is in, the right anchor is out, the flat shoulder turn is out, and the rotated shoulder plane is in. The Dual Horizontal Hinge in the Second Edition and the Horizontal Hinge in subsequent editions are out. The Angled Hinge is in, as it holds the club shaft on the plane and controls the rate of closure. After all we are trying to turn shoulders in a circle per 2-G right?
So which of Homer's Model's are you referring to? The Second Edition? Third Edition? Sixth Edition? They seem to change every edition.
