"Though the “Head” Pivot Center is recommended, it is not at all mandatory."

and here we sit.


My personal conclusion:

This site will remain the "Homer recommended" site.

My site will remain the site for "Brian Manzella tested and approved" stroke pattern variations, options, solutions, and explanations.

OK?

Just "some guy from Louisiana," like someone called me on here, doing my best to help people play the best golf they can.

I won't bother anyone here unless I am asked to.

Back to the bayou...

Oh, wait, let me save you some trouble:

Lynn will say: I'll go with Homer.
Ted will say: Lynn knows best.
The others will say: Yeah Manzella, you lose.

I'll even respond: any place, anytime, anywhere

Brian,

I'm sorry if that was offensive, but that statement was EXACTLY how I first learned about Yoda. It was "some guy from Atlanta" that was teaching Homer's work, as written. He has become my mentor, friend, and colleague. If my son chooses to be a golfer and reaches a point where dad can’t tell him anything, Yoda will be his teacher. I trust him implicitly.

I would like to place a small amendment to the statement that will be accredited to me.
Ted will say: Homer knew best, and Lynn is his 1st generation, faithful follower. I will always strive to be a 2nd generation, faithful follower.

And, by the way, Manzella does not lose. As I have said in multiple PM's to those concerned:

“If you take a lesson from anyone that uses TGM, INCLUDING Brian Manzella, you will be getting the best golf lesson you've ever had.”

“I don't know why everything has to be a contest. To be honest, Brian is a very likeable guy in person. He's much more tame than his forum persona. He has great stories and great experiences.”

And as I have told you:

“I have respect for you, your site, and your business. I had a great time in Canton, and I was very happy to finally meet Ben. I thought everyone did a great job. There are a couple of points on which I know Lynn and Ben disagree. So what! There are 10,000 on which they do agree.”

These are my words by which I will stand and are not innuendo. And, these words are certainly not as contentious as those directed toward me as previously found on another site. Seemingly, these words would be of poor choice if there was some vendetta or conspiracy brewing.

If there is an area in which you and I differ other than the minute details of Homer’s work, it is this:

I have no appreciation for receiving a lecture and a great appreciation for receiving a lesson. It’s the tone of superiority that I find in your posts in here and on your site that I find (PERSONALLY) unappealing. I understand that it’s your style, and I don’t fault you for being ‘Brian.’ I find Lynn to be a person to which a crowd is drawn and is willing to share his depth of knowledge. His is a position of servanthood, which I find to be very appealing. These are the flavors of TGM. Some like chocolate, some like vanilla, and some like jalapeño.

Your site has been a great service to those that seek, as is this one. We all learn from each other, compare ideas, and passionately defend our beliefs. This is the beauty of the forums.
