I'm getting tired of all this CRAP.
I'm a pretty placid individual normally, but I'm taking this opportunity, on Lynn's site, to expend some steam,so I am quite prepared for this post to be deleted by Admin.
To quote page 5 of the 6th edition:-
"As a term is specifically defined herein,that is the basic connotation which is always a dictionary definition but not necessarily that of physics,electrical ,etc.And the dictionary is generally considered a standard of precision.Scientific terms in quotes denotes a loose application with obvious intent,because no better term seems available .Measurements given herein are for the golf course rather than the laboratory but the laboratory will show them well within acceptable tolerances.Clarity and usefulness are the only motive.The result is that this book provides a complete ,unified golfing terminology."
SO WHICH PIECE OF THAT DO YOU "knockers "NOT UNDERSTAND!!!!!!
I'm an Engineer (civil) ,and I do understand certain things about force ,motion ,levers ,vectors ,etc etc etc .
And I really don't give a sh** whether some nitpicker wants a fight about how "correct" Mr Kelly was -There isn't one to be had!
-read above!
If you can't read the book -on the basis it was written ,and play better,then see an AI .
Or write your own .
Just get off the "what's wrong with the technical side "bandwagon.
IF YOU READ IT -HE TOLD YOU!
I'm with you, Neil.
It was never about laboratory but about clamping the Hands on a club driving the clubface through the Line of Compression. Kelley did not write a science book about the golf swing like Cochran and Stobbs or Jorgensen. Now Cochran and Stobbs or Jorgensen may have been thinking Lab while hitting balls on a range but not HK, he was thinking G.O.L.F.
