But, Mike O . . .

What if you had the club down well in the fingers, you know, at or below the proximal phalanges http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximal_phalanges?

Would this be a maximum #3? If so, what does this imply? And what if you were older and couldn't zero it because of an arthritic condition? Would this eliminate the #2 accumulator? How about #3? I see no reason for that because clearly Moe Norman never did either. For example, consider http://perfectgolfswingreview.net/swingplane.htm. It doesn't come close to the breadth of my argument, but you get the idea. Plus, if you'll draw the lines -- I see no need to go to that extreme here since it is obvious and everybody can see it -- you'll see that his head moved at least .0001 of an inch (in front of the ball . . . but that is in a different place than Ben Hogan's or Jack Nicklaus's ball). BTW, is that right? You know, should it be Nicklaus's or should it be just Nicklaus'?

Finally, would any of this affect my ability to pivot Saturday night at Hernando's Hideaway?

Please don't delay your post . . . "I gotsta know."





P.S. Jeff, please don't take offense, you know "I luv ya, man!" And sincerely appreciate all you are doing here. It's just that sometimes . . . it can get to be a bit much. But that's you, and I'm growing fond of your deep-digging. Keep it coming, my friend; just know that there are time constraints on my ability to read your insightful posts, let alone comprehend and respond.
