I bought Homer's first book and all the subsequent ones also. I took a lesson from him and Ben Doyle in 1969 in Seattle. Later had lunch with Homer from about about 1974 until he died. Below is how he really felt. He expected his students to take his work to another level.

This is a 5-barrel stroke with pp#5. Is it a swing or a hit?

If you noticed B. Bozac bounces his club shaft off his back. This is PP#5. Not many can do that, but John Daly comes close. But John does use eccentric contraction on his left wrist.

Reason: wrong spelling

PP #5 looks very compatible with a sweep release! The sequence is 5,4,1,2,3.
How does he do that with no hip action!!!
And that stationary tripod is very, dare I say...textbook.
Very cool video.

Thanks for fixing the link. Homer gave all of hmself in whatever he did. Much of my association with Homer was "trying to learn, but not pushing the issues, since I had many conflicting issues." However, he never took any of this as personal. He was a true gentleman who lifted the analysis of the golf stroke to new levels. It is up to you and others as students to add to that legacy!
I had played golf about 25 years before I found TGM which I erroniously thought the plane? was the holy grail. It is not!!! If anything, it is the blending/control of the/a-plane concept and the continual arcing (down/out/forward) of the clubhead arc, the clubface re-rotation arc(s) closing and de-lofting plus horizontal considerations. Three dimentional space and motion is golf's reality as is the timing of thereof???

There is a whole lot of the secret of golf in those two sentences. Ben wouldn't let you get away without mentioning accumulator/clubhead lag though.
Oh...and that "5-Barrel" move is a swing.
For those members who don't know...Jay Perkins aka xyzgolfAZ received his GSEM directly from Homer in 1981 and we are honored to have him contribute here.
