In 2-0 it states "A precision Golf Stroke includes three Basic Essentials and three Basic Imperatives.
-A. The Three Basic Essentails are:
1. A stationary Head"

This is where we need to stop, according Websters Dictionary Stationary means-not moving, not capable of being moved, fixed.

I personally do not believe a "people-shaped golfer" can keep there head stationary. In fact Golf Digest did a study on the head movement in 1962 and found that from address to the top of the backswing the head moved about 2" to the right for the right handed golfer, and from address to impact the head moved about 3". This study was done on 31 American Tour Professionals hitting three drives each.

Can anyone clarify what Mr. Homer Kelly meant by a stationary head, and how it fits in with TGM?

If you think the head is stationary look at swing sequences b/c as a smart man once told me The Truth is in The Pictures.

Brian I have reposted my question from Lynn's website to invoke your educated response. I read a similar post you made on this topic in the old TGM Forum that no longer exists, but have since lost access to it.

A steady 'center'. Force moves around a steady center which remains 'level' with the ground, regardless of where in three dimensional space that force is centered. This need not map to a body part, however the wider the radius, the more difficult to compensate IF center moves. The trade off is that width, extensor action, greatly simplifies RHYTHM

Depending on which components one uses, and to what degree, that center can be shifted in its appearance, however efficient force is always in balance, and always has a stable point in space that is 'center'.

A title I have been thinking of for a future project...

"Forces in Balance"
