Strickers alignments should be the model for almost everybody maybe. Certainly the average golfer. You're right Bucket , we all tend to want Pitch , Snap and for most of us its beyond our grasp.

Theres a perception out there that Homer was all about "lag" as left wrist cock deep into the swing.... which is wrong on many levels.


I heard a story about this one time Homer was teaching a group of guys and talking about the Turning Shoulder Plane (you know like Furyk , it was a more popular type swing back in the early 80's) Anyways one of the students , a Mr. McSomething tells a story about a woman who keeps coming for lessons but when he sees her playing on her own she's back to the Turning Shoulder Plane stuff again. Mr McSomething then asks Homer , something to the effect of "what should I do in that circumstance?". Homer's answer? "Why don't you teacher her better Turning Shoulder Plane alignments".

This to mind is telling about the sort of lesson you might get from Homer personally.
