In this first release, Homer talks with Lynn Blake for the first time.
Holy Smoke!!!!! You are my G.O.L.F. Hero!!!! Awesome!!!! This is truly amazing. This is the first time I have had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Kelley. My initial observations would be that the man OWNED this information. You can hear the conviction in his voice. It seems that there is no question he couldn't answer . . . COMPLETELY! The second observation is that he seems to be all about the "possibilities." As long as you adhere to the basic geometry, you can do anything you like.
The book is a truly amazing piece of work, but to actually hear the man himself is unreal. There was obviously WAY WAY more in his mind than what actually made it into print.
Those of you that were fortunate enough to go to the AI Schools and speak on the phone with Mr. Kelley were truly blessed.
I can't wait to hear more. This is exactly the type of stuff that needs to get out. Thank you sir.

Fantastic - I guess it takes a little brainwork for all of us to get some of the concepts of the golfing machine. Hinge action - turning, rolling, swivel???

Hinge Action is the Left Wrist remaining Vertical to one of the Three Basic Planes. Swivel Action (or Wrist Action) is Turning or Rolling away from that Vertical condition.
With Horizontal and Angled Hinge Action, the Vertical Left Wrist appears to Roll through Impact. However, as long as the Wrist remains Vertical, there has been no independent rotation of the Hand (and hence no Swivel).
But at the same time I don't know if it was correct of Peter Croker to put it on the web as it really something that belonged to Lynn and Tom collectively.... just IMO
Pretty amazing that this was even recorded all those many years ago. The really great thing about listening to this, is hearing Lynn ask some of the same questions, and even struggle a bit, with some of the same concepts we "current neophytes" face today. I assume Lynn you gave permission for this to be released, and I for one thank you and whoever provided it for sharing with us.
I infer from something Homer says in the audio that he perceived the book to be more of resource for teachers of the swing rather than students. But with the help of websites like this, it has certainly made me (a student) enjoy golf so much more.
No matter how hard one tries to squeeze an answer out of Homer about component variations, he was always very liberal and gave answers such as "its strictly matter of choice, what you like and what it would do for you that goes with the rest of your swing".
This is one of my favourite bits, because it's finally confirmed what I always thought to be true:
LB: What would you say takes the club away? HK: You can take it away with anything you want to. LB: As long as you stay on the Plane? HK: Yeah, as long as you stay On Plane. As long as you have the right Loading Action...Whether you're coming in flat, low or whatever, the only thing that's really required is to stay On Plane and to observe the Plane Line. The Plane Line is really the most important thing.
