Homer WAS the walking trackman of his era. He brought information to the masses that no one had.......some embraced it, and surely many immediately beat up on him and discredited him versus looking into it. To act as if he would just overlook anything and everything as if he already had every answer on every topic, while meant as a defense, is a discredit to his dedication.
Yup. Homer was in a real fight in his day. Up against guys who thought the balls initial direction was a product of path. "How could Jacks ball flight rules be wrong?" " The greatest golfer of all time , arguably ." etc. To which Homer reasoned that the laws of physics can not be ignored by anybody , even by Jack. That to curve the ball as he wished , he must have complied with physics . Even if only subconsciously. Very few could buy this explanation understandably but in the end he was right. Its something I find interesting. All those perfect little cut shots Jack hit , all those guys hit. Man. I did it myself too. Weird.
Sean Foley said that he watched Jack's clinic at the Memorial a few years back and saw him as shaping the shot with his path. Despite the fact he was still saying he did it the other way round.
A Trackman in Homers hands would have validated his side of that debate.
P.S . I am not saying Homer was perfect by the way. Amazing , but no ones perfect.
Trackman is measuring the ballflight via radar technology.
Angle of attack, planelines and all other degrees is calculated. They programmed the thing. It doesn't measure the club or clubheads movement through impact.
A couple of years ago, when I visited the Trackman offices here in Denmark and amongst others spoke to the tech wizard and co-inventer there, Frederik Tuxen, he told me he had no knowledge of TGM. But their data confirmed the ballflight theory of Mr. Kelley.
Back to the instruction video : If you can get the ball to go straight with open or closed planelines either this guy is right, or the machine is getting fooled by the ballflight. For example: Trackman doesn't know anything about hinging and what it'll do to the ballflight. So the program will tell you that the only way you could produce this high a ballflight was with an open planeline, even if you actually had a square planeline but was using angled or even vertical hinging. ???
I guess it's just me but I still can't see straight ballflights from closed or open planelines....
