It is sad that another promising thread has developed a severe (if not terminal) case of Edflailitus.

wow.. this post blew up while I was asleep at the wheel...
I'll go through and make some changes when I get a chance.. thank you everyone.

Why a 'thong' vs a hinge pin?
Why have a 'fixed' thong?
Why modify the physics view of a flail?

I have made an illustration of impact alignments as close as I can to those in 2-C. If you spot anything out of sorts with this illustration, please feel free to speak up. Also, if you would like any other alignments illustrated on this picture, or any others.. let me know. I'm just trying to make sure I understand the way Homer was trying to explain these concepts.

A very useful picture, wouldn't you agree Mathew?
So then the clubface should actually be slightly closed at the low point and also slightly closed in relation to the swing radius?quote:One final note: As drawn, the Separation Point Plane Line and the Low Point Plane Line combine as one. Usually, however, the Ball is located well behind Low Point (Up Plane), and that will not be the case. Therefore, unless the Ball is positioned at Low Point, or on a Tee past Low Point, the Separation Point Plane Line will always be encountered prior to the Low Point Plane Line.

Mr. Kelley compared the Primary Lever Assembly to the real-world flail for purposes of discussing the physics of Centrifugal Acceleration, Centrifugal Momentum and Centrifugal Decleration.
However, the model of the real-world flail wouldn't work for Golfing Machines because we don't want Centrifugal Deceleration which occurs when the Left Wrist bends. Mr. Kelley asked us to imagine a "Golfer's Flail" -- a Primary Lever Assembly that is, per 2-K, "bolted together as with a hinge pin, rather than tied together with a thong . . . ." Golfing Machines, therefore, have a "hinge pin" Left Wrist that only permits movement in the vertical plane but prevents movement in the horizontal plane. This brilliant hinge pin idea is critical to Golfing Machines, facilitating the Flat Left Wrist, Rhythm and Hinge Action, just to name three.
Only Homer Kelley manufactured Golfing Machines come with Primary Lever Assemblies made with steel hinge pins. Beware of the cheap imports that use leather thongs.

Thanks rhw, I appreciate someone willing to have a discussion rather than just accept what they are told.
If he really wanted a 'bolted' hinge, isn't he really talking about one long lever, from the right shoulder to the club? Mike Austin's "keep the 7"? If that is the case you have a sort of type 1 lever of the shoulders over 'center', which move the hands by their motion?
