The Pivot -- Homer Kelley's "massive rotor" -- and its six Components constitute fully 25 percent of the 24 identified in The Golfing Machine. Further, those six Components and their functions are grouped as Zone #1 (of three). The truth is that Homer felt that mastery of the Pivot was of paramount importance.

So, it really is quite sad when Mr. Kelley is characterized on the site mentioned as not understanding the Pivot, the rotational force it generates, the alignments it must produce and those it must maintain. Further, it is a shame to read through the posts and see the many gross misunderstandings, misstatements and mischaracterizations, all presented as fact.

But, it is what is, and it ain't my job to provide rebuttal. So, I recommend readers of all golf websites choose those concepts and procedures that work best for them (and, in the case of professionals, for their students), and leave the rest alone.

In the end, that's really all that counts.

Some folks feel it's there job to discredit all the great teachers and players who differ from their science. It's funny and sad at the same time. As long as they keep picking at you you know they're afraid of your principles.

SliceFixer said it best, all these methods can work for you, pick one and trust it. I'm happy the model I choose has a foundation that I can count on every day. What I learn today will stand the test of time and will work tomorrow.

All that and more is in the book, thanks YODA and friends for helping us boneheads understand it.
