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)?
"unified golfing terminology" -I believe that's all Mr Kelly wanted to do , whilst making the science reasonably explainable to golf pros and ,consequently, their students.
With greatest respect ,not all golf Pros are technically or scientifically minded.
As I said in a previous post-Mr Kelly wrote in a language that was designed to be consistent terminology.I have had 6 different teachers who told me the same thing in 6 different ways.
Since October 2005 I have had lessons from Lynn,Ted ,Jeff &VJ(Trolio).They all spoke the same language-if you wanted them to .Having said that, I would guess that if you weren't into learning the book ,you would just get a great lesson and not much mention of the terminology.
I wanted to understand the book-and at the Old Waverly Academy ,where Lynn ,Ted and Vj ,standing in the locker room went through the 12 stations with Yoda calling the stations ,without looking at one another ,in perfect unison.I was hooked on -"unified golfing terminology".
NOT scientific exactness.
