Bobby Clampett authored a feature article, Master the Impact Zone, in the current issue of Golf Digest, November 2007, pp. 167-174. The article could have been sub-titled, The Golfing Machine In Lay Language.
Bobby's anecdotes and personal observations are interesting and fun to read. Along the way, he quotes Ben Doyle and credits Homer Kelley and his book.
I enjoyed the article and think you will, too. Read it -- if you haven't already -- and let's discuss it here!

I was also surprised that the lower pulley is over the right foot and not further foward.
Homer's pictures of Sally are taken at an angle to the plane line placing the white drawing of the hands appear more posterior. A camera angle directly in front of her would move them foward. See 9-3-1 thru 9-3-12
The endless belt drawings are great and I await Lynn's comment about our posts.
The reality of the hands motion can be seen on Greg Mchatton's blobman.
Mr. Lynn and Staff,
Thank you for the posted data. I was in the process of asking a question about the aiming point. I am familiar and have use aiming point from my study. I have also read the Clampett Book. I would like to ask if the aiming point is a three dimensional location on a spot parallel to the ball target line or if the aiming point is located in front of the ball on the ball target line? Also if the hands right and left are aimed as a unit or the right or left hand aimed singular. In the Golf Digest article my understanding oof the text, is the aiming point is located in front of the ball on the ball target line. Would you be able to point me to an illustration, video or still that shows this. I have experimented but I am not 100% on this.
