These are the most important parts of my position that have yet to be countered by ANYONE, including Brian:
--------------------------------------------
Perhaps if I put this in TGM specific terms some of you will better understand my position:
1) 2K is incorrect in ONE VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL - the 'handle' of the flail is NOT THE LEFT ARM, it is the line from the swing center to the hands (this is the most basic and complete way to view my position)
2) the justification in 2H for 'moving centers' is no longer needed, and is inaccurate. The centers are the same, the planes are not.
3) It is the HANDS that move the flail, one pulling, one pushing. you CAN both HIT and SWING because you can both pull, AND push on this correct 2K golfers flail.
5) this correction to 2K allows for a greatly simplified visual image of the swing, and the plane - the plane that this 'line' travels back and through (Anika does a great job of this). The plane that the HANDS travel on, back and through, in relation to the center point. This correction also reconciles wheel rim, and wheel spoke, as discussed by Homer.
Most importantly - this correction MORE fully supports the rest of TGM's core concepts. Impact still looks the same, because at impact this corrected 2k flail is basically against the INSIDE of the left wrist, quite literally page 102 of Hogan's 5 lessons. At that point the end of this corrected flail IS the raised wrist bone. Remember, the line is perpendicular to the shoulder line.
Evidence for this position being correct (aside from the above) includes it explaining why a more forward ball position requires MORE right wrist bend, and a centered ball position requires less right wrist bend. It also explains the many players (goosen for example, or even De La Torre, or even those on the Austin crew who have a 'traditional' flail per 2k) that appear to violate 2K as Homer wrote it, but do not under my corrected view of 2K.
For an effective swing visual, simply imagine this corrected flail in 2k, with its handle between your arms, as a wheel spoke, and your hands as the wheel rim. Or alternately, imagine a string from your center and a rock IN your hands.
I hope this clarifies my position.
Thank you to those genuine enough to have civil conversation and debate.
For evidence that supports my view:
See this pic of Hogan at impact, imagine that line from center to the left wrist bone.

not the best angle, but this one of Tiger shows the plane (wheel rim) well (top and bottom of right pics)
