Picture Perfect
 

John,

There have been a number of "pictures" posted in this thread. Please confirm you are responding to O.B. Left's post and referencing Sketches 2-C-1/2/3. Thanks.

:salut:

John, Why do you frame your questions as "Challenges"? If you have something to say, simply speak up and say it. Maybe Bagger Lance will open a new discussion area titled "Challenge Forum". Anyone wanting to learn by asking "challenge questions" can post a question. Wasn't there a TV show that used "challenge questions"?

John: "I dare you to prove it to me".
Daryl: "I don't care".

That's not productive or positive dialogue.

Maybe it's just his way of speaking, Daryl.
 

It does sound combative, but as Bagger has pointed out to me, lots of people are not use to electronic conversation. If we were all having a beer, we might interpret it as a playful challenge and maybe John means it that way.

Last night thinking of Veteran's Day made me want to challenge any golfing terrorists and humiliate them verbally. I still want to! :)

Maybe John imagines we are TGM terrorists! :laughing9

He just does not understand how low-key and passive you really are Daryl! Or maybe John is 95 and just stays pissed all day due to arthritis and 'that burning sensation." :laughing1

John, just remember we have struggles, too, when you write. We are creating a community, here, of people wanting to be better golfers, not destroying a false ideology.

Innercityteacher,

Your perspective is priceless, as always. I think you're right about the "electronic media" thing. If I remember correctly, john was a golf teacher or something like that in the old days. At least I think he had something to do with golf. Your right, he's probably 95 years old, arthritis and 'that burning sensation, so he stays angry at the world all day. I think he lives in Alabama, which would answer the other questions I have about him.

John: from the top of the page : the ball does not get turf pinched. Consider that the leading edge of the club passes under the ball. The soul hits the ground.
The ball is off the face pretty darn fast. Little ball before big ball.

A pinched shot is not a pretty ball flight or set of engineering force vectors.

Hi Guru,

Is the "pinched" wedge simply a "feel?'

There are so many "feels" involved in the Golfing Machine that make the game fun again for me. Some of these things, like the "heavy hit" are supposedly proven wrong by scientists, but are so real to me that I will always believe in them... was Mr. Kelley's work more "feel" based than "science" based than we realize? Not a knock on it if it is... it flat out works IMHO.

Sorry if this question is a little bit out there... it is really addressed to all...

Daryl,

Interesting that the post calling me combative was removed.

I have yet to challenge a person and have only asked questions about ideas and information.

On multiple occasions, I have been attacked along with my ideas.

Attacking my ideas is just fine.

I will defend them if I can.

Attacking me is not.

But I guess this is the type of community you are trying to build.

Interesting indeed.

Sorry guys but this hurts. Two really great guys I like and respect who are just misunderstanding each other. Two different ways of communicating. We need to get past this guys. If we were face to face we would be sharing a beer and find all common ground IMHO.

"Heavy Hit" is very good "Advice". There's "Why?" and there's "How To?". "Heavy Hit" is "How To".

Hmm? The "Science" doesn't belong to anyone.

Homer Kelley explained the Collision dynamics between the Clubface and Ball. He further explained why different collisions result in different Ball Flights. Then he explained the "Perfect Collision" and How we as Golfers can achieve it.

How "more complete" can anyone get than that?

Hey John, don't mistake me. I understand you very well. How can I say this? Try this.... :boohoo:
