Wow.

Please review my posts.

I replied in a sarcastic manner after I was given a condescending reply.

I was actually learning something in this debate.

I do in fact see a sensory advantage to keeping a stationary head...a truly stationary head...but I don't see an advantage (sensory that is) in a head that is allowed to rotate.

Adam Scott's eyes moved. How is that a sensory advantage?

I'm learning too. It would be interesting to see a second vote to get an idea of just how many members have finally, after 11 pages of discussion, come around to my way of thinking that the Head is the Center of the Pivot. (Oh, I meant HK's way)

Eyes aren't glued to the head. The head can rotate and the eyes counter the rotation and remain fix on whatever dimple they chose. The spine is not a pencil with a head on it. The spine adjusts and re-adjusts itself so the head can, if it likes, remain fixed.

I feel, see, and yes, smell the world from head- no sense in it coming off the one thing I need to strike- the ball.

There is more at issue here than a fixed head. The outside golfing world must be enjoying this.

For a straight away flight... the eyes maintain the horizontal and vertical axis of the eyes while maintaining a fairly fixed gaze on the object prayerfully in the center of the fovial field..The eyes can and do move in the eye sockets in order to accomodate this ...This is the Sacadean movement of the eyes...inside the sockets....Try driving down the road keeping your eyes fixed on the car in front of you..proceed to rotate your head clockwise and counterclockwise while maintaining your fixed vision....In the goldf swing this rotation is very minimal..but does exist to some degree....

Smithers,you started with your opinion,then proceeded to refer to H,K and Lynn B as "still " being opposed to your opinion,In my "opinion" you STARTED in a sarcastic manner.
I'm glad you are learning something.
You also, possibly ,agree that a stationary head is the ideal .

ROTATED eyes(ON AVERAGE- unless you can spin your head!) move less than swaying ones -or dipping ones,

The Ideal is no movement of the head,-Homer Kelly chose his words carefully,how close you can get to ideal is the question.Adam Scott is doing O.K.
