Pull Homers references to ball response together , verbatim. Its all over the place in the book. What do you guys have saved to your computers? 2. Re Post Yoda's thoughts on the matter. There is one post in particular that we need to dissect carefully. There is clarification needed, perhaps he will help out. Can U start this answer with the Re. post you mention? 3. Discuss how we use this geometry to shape our shots? 4. Over and above ball response if we go a little further with the drawings we would be knocking on the door to a visual explanation to one of Homers more perplexing (but keerect) statements: "There is no angle of approach to the angle of approach". The geometry is a macro scale representation of incramental geometry within the impact interval. There is no streight lines on the circle nor fixed angular relationships. I have not studied them but I assume the machines that "calculate" ball flight do exactly that- Take the - take the balls reaction and calculate the geometry and other physical factors necessary to produce that response- Kinda, "Once the answer is given the solution is trivial" Computers and software make it look easy and that is the only "new" in the NEW machines. I can take us fairly deep into this stuff (I think tbd) but I need your help with the references and further insight. I thank you in advance.
