Patrick,

First of all, as I begin to field answers to these wonderful questions, pleaseremember: You could write volumes on any one point in order to do it justice,fill in all the surrounding areas, and, in essence, complete the mosaicregarding that point. But there is just so much time in the day (and night!).So, let's start with something useful. then go from there.

First of all, whenever you are concerned about any particular term used in TheGolfing Machine, look first to the dictionary. One of the definitons willfit. Why? Because that was Homer's deliberate design! Early on, he struggledwith what to name his various revolutionary concepts -- the golfing world hadnot even thought of them, much less named them! -- and finallyone day, to his great relief, quoting Homer: "The incubator gave me theanswer: Just use the dictionary! If just one of the definitions fit,then I can use that word to define my concept." So, do as he did, and usethe dictionary to follow his trail of marked trees in the forest.

In my 1982 G.S.E.M. class with Homer, we did indeed discuss the Frozen RightWrist. But since you weren't there, let's do a little work and go to thedictionary. First, per definition #7 in my Webster, the word frozen means"arbitrarily kept at a fixed position." And, since that Frozen RightWrist is flying as the G.O.L.F.er executes his Motion (Basic, Aquired,or Total per 12-5), you are correct in that the word implies a 'holding' typemotion.

However, it does not follow that such a motion will dissipate the Lag. In fact,it is quite the opposite: As long as the Right Wrist maintains its Fix degreeof bend, then its complement, the Flat Left Wrist, will also be maintained.This insures compliance with the Law of the Flail per 2-K and, per 6-B-3-O-1,the structure of the Flying Wedges.

I have much more to say on this subject but no more time at the present. Thisis an important topic, and I will add a Part II (and maybe a Part III) soon.Stay tuned.
Staying tuned the Forums!
