Homer Kelley discovered Hinging as a way to control the Clubface Motion Alignment through the Impact Interval. 30 + years of serious research by a dedicated and enlightened man able to look beyond the knowledge of others. Someone should erect a Monument to Him.
Swiveling was invented by someone else. He should be awarded a "Set of Steak Knives".

"Discovered" or identified the whole deal I'd agree with. But there must have been some guys manipulating the face in the days of the gutta percha, no?
Yoda, tee'd it up with Mary Queen of Scots , James Braid, Bobby Jones , you name it........he'll know, he's six hundred years old after all. I see him in plus four's , horizontaling a "closed , closed" bump and run through the Valley Of Sin in a match against Vardon.

There was a time, in America, in Chicago and elsewhere in the 1930's and 40's, where thousands of Golf Pro's existed and millions of golfers before and 10's of millions golfers after. If I presumed, that someone, somewhere, on some date, had figured it out first, then I would also presume that they figured out the #3 Pressure point involvement and the #3 pressure point tracing the Plane line too. But the list of Alignments goes beyond that. They would need to understand the "Magic of the Right Forearm" and the Bent Right Wrist and Flat Left Wrist and Primary Lever and Secondary Lever and the Flying Wedges.
All of that begs the question because if they thought that Spin was only imparted to the Ball by rolling up the face of the Inclined Striker, then why would they need to control the "Line of Compression"?
I say erect the Monument, then, give the "Steak knives" to whom ever claims them first.
LBG.com should have an Annual "Steak Knives" Award. I know who gets them the first few years. Do you?
O.B. Left, what a great site hickory golfers. I really liked
the MacDonal Smith swings a mashie. Look at how MacDonald
got the right shoulder back and down on plane. Aso MacDonald
Smith's Perfect Drive. He must have been a real player.
Thanks again for the site.
