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."
You should probably post this on every site that talks about TGM, particularly in reference to the terminology. People, especially the "scientific types" (no offense), get so hung up on this term or that term that isn't used "correctly", that they miss the point of whatever sentence/paragraph it's used in. Ever heard the phrase "can't see the forest for the trees"? Sure, some of the phrases/terms aren't correct strict scientific sense, but Homer says that himself. I think that if more people approached TGM from a practical standpoint, as it relates to improving your golf swing, then there wouldn't be so much drama in the TGM community. Theory is fine to discuss on internet boards, etc. But when it comes down to it, if it works on the golf course for you, then how wrong can it be (whether it's theoritcally correct or not)?
