Alignments of motion and action are fundamental to The Golfing Machine, and Geometry and Physics are tools used which analyze and describe those alignments. Homer Kelley believed that to control the Golf Ball, you must control the Impact point and the Line of Compression (3 dimensional impact).

Joe Amateur and Joe Pro, typically use “Downstroke Casting” (like casting a fishing rod) as a way (method) of swinging the Golf Club to strike the Golf Ball. This method “allows” and “Encourages” Acute Elbow Bending and Right Wrist Cocking. Look at any Golf Swing on Tour or at the practice range, and you’ll see the following swing.

A Shoulder Turn Take-away with Both arms straight then, halfway up the backstroke, the elbow draws into the side of the Torso to fold the Right Elbow and Cock the Right Wrist. The Downswing sequence begins with a torso spin to throw the right arm and right wrist into a casting motion toward the Ball. Practice this with the right arm as though you’re casting a fishing rod, and then perform the same casting motion down plane at the ball. Then watch the Pros and Amateurs to witness this procedure in action.

When I read people say that it’s a little easier to Hit (as in Hitter) the Ball if they keep the Elbow a little tighter to the Torso, I cringe. “Downstroke Casting”.

Homer Kelley replaced “Downstroke Casting” with the “Big Four”. He replaced the common method of the day, with His Method. Nobody listened. NOBODY UNDERSTOOD. What’s curious is that most of the pros since Bobby Jones, have used the “Big Four” in their short games and some from full five irons on down to the Lob Wedge. The Problem is, is that they don’t even know it.

The Golfing Machine is a framework, a method that the variations of the 24 components can hang and be used successfully to one degree or another. However, the variations are not the only variations available to the 24 components. They are the variations that include Zero, Full, and optional motions useful for the “Big Four”.

Consider this; Homer Kelley agreed that Right Arm Swinging is true Swinging Procedure and that it allowed for a “Bent Left Wrist” at Impact. Is that in the Book? A mention perhaps, but no; because it isn’t compatible with the Flying Wedges. Homer named the Big Four. He “BRANDED” them. They are the heart of the Golfing Machine and the Core to his method.

Why isn’t “Right Arm Casting” in the Book? Because it’s the antithesis of the Golfing Machine. You may try to explain “Right Arm Casting” as a “Right Arm Throw”, but that explanation can be easily disproved.
