This is my last post on this thread unless something really burns me.

Forget about a human golfer for a minute. So there are no hands and therefore no grip.

Go to Mathews animation 422-1-L_Hinges_LBG (I'm not sure how to post the link). Stop it at the 2 sec mark. Cock the "wrists" (its not drawn on there but imagine a hinge pin half way down the arm....just like the golfers flail 2-K#5 Vertical wrist motion)

As soon as you cock the wrist, the clubshaft no longer points as the plane line. That is what I have been trying to say all along. How do you horizontal hinge and cock your wrists and stay on plane all at the same time? I tried to rationalize it with wrist turn (I think Yoda has also referred to it as startup swivel)

So there are only 3 paths forward:
a) someone acknowledges my point.
b) someone tells me why I am wrong (please!!!)
c) I call enough enough and move on from TGM, being all the wiser for what I have learned the last month.

Thanks.

Thanks for the interest in my video.

Homer Kelley used the 1-L diagram primarily to provide a visual to the concepts listed.

The 1-L model only has similarities to the way that the power package structure in the human machine works within a real golf stroke. The power package has to take accumulators out of line inorder to move the clubhead according to the physics that God designed and Newton discovered. The power accumulators work simultaneously displacing the clubhead towards this goal. The 1-L model by its design does not have to contend with this issue, however the resulting effect between the two models is identical.

The flail that is described in 2-K has a swivel joint and is not merely a hinge pin added on the 1-L model. The swivel joint or accumulator no.3 is nessesary to move the clubhead onplane using the design of the human golfers power package structure.

Do not underestimate Homer Kelley's understanding of the golf stroke. If we followed your interpretation of 1-L in the post - angled hinging would take place at right angles to the inclined plane and vertical hinging would see the club parallel to the ground !!!! Surely after all those years Homer Kelley put into studying the golf stroke that you can at least credit him with a better conception than that!

Hope that helps....
