Yoda says:
The Clubhead moves through the Ball on one 'Line of Contact' or another. At the same time, the Clubface is Closing -- or alternatively Laying Back or simultaneously doing both -- through the Ball.
The accomplished golfer feels this...indeed, knows this.
If he wants to Fade, he sets up Left and 'holds on' and Fades. If he wants to Draw, he sets up Right and 'lets go' and Draws.
It is the way life at the top of the Game. And as usual...
Life at the top is good.

then Horton says:
Since the ball and clubhead are dynamically disconnected through Impact due to centrifugal, droop, torsion and kick back forces acting independently of the upper shaft and hands, no amount of manipulation can affect the result. However the actions of the golfswing well before Impact can affect how the ball will behave after Impact and this is where the golfer's skill must be applied -- not at the moment of Impact manipulating some fictitious LOC.
Is there any scientific proof that Homer's LOC is the path of the sweetspot through the ball's centerline? Homer's vector diagrams are false and he was incompetent in resolving the forces or lines through the Impact event. These vectors are only Homer's imagination in an attempt to validate his interesting golfswing theories. Nothing more .... believe me .... !
I too can agree with Homer on that point, however you have not addressed your comments to the more significant points I have made. Or do you concede my points by having edited them out?
Btw, can you provide the exact TGM reference to Homer's comments so I can put them in proper context? Thanks.
...and...
Can you define your "Line of Contact" because Homer uses the term "Line of Compression". How does the Ball "move through" this Line of Contact if the ball is being deformed when compressed?
As for the accomplished golfer feeling and knowing what is happening through Impact, that is not a scientific observation, only a subjective and anecdotal experience that is unique to you and for those who claim to share the same feelings you experience. Perhaps you as a TGMer could provide something a bit more objective as Homer attempted to do.

Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk to you again.
For the vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain,
Still remains, within the sound of silence.
"Fools," said I, "you do not know, silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
Echoed in the wells of silence.
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming, and the sign said:
"The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
and tenement halls," and whispered the sounds of Silence.
...The Sound of Silence.
