The results can be a DISASTER." Homer's comments in 10-19-0 make it clear that HH in a Hitting Procedure is perfectly valid, providing the user has sufficient skill in clubface manipulation. On rare occasions, I've hit the back of the ball instead of the inside, but that's hardly a disaster. My concern in Homers words in 10-19-0 is "with reservations." Manipulation = something unnatural or a deviation from it's normal application. I've never wanted to be the master of manipulation in my own stroke pattern. I've always wanted to be the master of simplicity. I'm simply presenting the motion in it's truest, unmanipulated form. I'm not saying it's impossible, just harder. Homer also said in 1-K that "apparently there is no factor-including Clubhead Throwaway- that cannot, by proper assembly, adjustment, alignment, etc. be worked into a fairly effective Stroke Pattern for some application or other." The words that I see as most impotant are "FAIRLY" and "some application." Do I teach clubhead throwaway? Not if I have other options. __________________ Yoda knows...and he taught me!
