Great question.

In the mean time, before we try try to draw the club face lets nail a few more things in the basic drawing.

-add a stick man golfer guy, with the centre of the radius at his left shoulder and a head.

-have him address a ball back of low point and draw the Impact Plane Line .

-note the increased Angle of Attack.

This is still in a purely vertical plane as D noted above . Things start to get interesting when you lay the whole shebang on an inclined plane with the guys head and eyes (the golfers perspective per 2-C whatever) above the plane . There are unique perspectives to most of Homers definitions that must be recognized . IMO this is the key to being able to understand Homerian geometry speak , words. You must be able to mentally jump from one perspective to another . Golfers view , caddy , down the line , true path of the clubhead even. Vagueness on this breeds misunderstanding when communicating. It is so easy to get mixed up on this and when communicating geometry in words. Easy for folks to use the same words but with vastly different "perspectives", definitions. Once cracked , what at first seems like Homerian code language becomes profoundly useful. You could call up Yoda long distance and clearly , precisely discuss the mechanics necessary for the progression your own procedure for instance. As he did with Homer .... many times.


Guys this geometric perspective is also a language . This thread could get interesting if its possible for us speak the same language. Much of our discussions around here get bogged down in the mud of differences in definition. Not saying Im any better or worse just saying. Who knows maybe Mike O. will come on down with some stuff that shocks the world . Double D 's just itching to unleash a whirlwind of drawings I bet. Lets get the language straight and then roll with it.

Not saying the whole book will come together ... I still think Homer was nuts. As are we probably.
