Precision Golf
In 2.0 Homer lists three Basic Essentials and Three Basic Imparatives.
2-0-A
1.) A stationary head
2.) Balance
3.) Rhythm

He also offers some good advice. "The Three Imperatives and Essentials operate to correct faulty procedures, so if they seem elusive it is invariably because you are trying to execute them while you hit the ball - in your accustomed manner. That must all be reversed. Learn to do those things even if you miss the ball - until you no longer miss it. There is no successful alternative".

1-L also lists the Stationary Post (players head), as #1 out of 21 items that are "characteristics of a Mechanically and Geometrically correct Golf Stroke from the Longest Drive to the Shortest Putt."

In 7-14 Homer discusses the Hip Turn -
"Weight Shift is strictly a HIP MOTION. Substituting a Head Motion and/or Knee Motion will make Swaying inevitable."

Glossary -

STATIONARY HEAD

Golf - Choosing the head - rather than Between the Shoulders as the Pivot Center.

PIVOT

Golf - A multiple universal-joint assembly between the Stationary Head and the Stationary Feet holding the Clubshaft "On Plane" by positioning and adjusting the Lever Assembly, through the #3 Accumulator, as directed by the Right Forearm.

These are Homers words, not mine and since this is a TGM focused site, forum, and chapter thread I felt it was important to provide these tidbits. There is more of course, not only in the book but also from Lynn's posts. I recall one post, (or maybe it was a lesson) where Lynn described setting the head position at Impact Fix and not moving it from that location as you go into adjusted address, backswing, downswing, and follow through.
