I'll make the Machine of 1-L some day but this, I hope, is the lazy man's version ....with corresponding limitations.

Those are the tools you'll need on the far left. In the next frame the clubhead is on the left , then the shaft or Primary Lever, then an angled extension which is the spin axis, similar to Homer's hinge pin for the various Hinge Actions it can demonstrate by bending its angle and then spinning it in your fingers. Single Horizontal (hinge pin vertical to the ground) , Single Vertical (hinge pin bent to horizontal to the ground) and Angled (hinge pin bent to perpendicular to the plane) respectively. There being no " Hinge Pin" as in the Machine of 1-L, there is no Dual Horizontal or Dual Vertical .......which if you're still scratching your head about , you'll soon realize the need/reason for, when you goof with the wire's Single Horizontal and Single Vertical HInge Actions.

I hoping its a simple way to get your hands on a Machine that describes the basics of a "Hinge Action of an Angular Motion on an Inclined Plane". A must know for golfers but its not a "golf thing" per say .......its just the way things are. The geometry of such relationships. Until that moment the wire had never played golf before, it knew only the business of hanging clothes.

In the last two photos Ive bent it to Angled and used the yellow book as the plane . Sorry for the plane shift ...I was having trouble holding it and taking the photo. But Plane shifts do happen. It being Angled , (there is no need for Dual Angled) all of the listed items of 1-L hold , I think, maybe, let me know. Notice how the face moves for Angled here...... perpendicular or vertical to the plane.

The other two , Single Horizontal and Single Vertical.........are non planar and therefore some of the 1-L's dont apply. 1-L-5 for instance, the shaft not lying flat on an inclined plane but describing a cone shape.

Try it out and let me know if its worth the cost of a coat hangar stolen from your wife's closet and all which that could entail.

I'm going to have to work on it during lunch sometime to grasp the points of the book, but very simple and effective!

You know, some jerk last March accused you of being vapid in a long post. That guy was a loser and hothead. He needed some spiritual program and still does. He's really lucky that you didn't drive down from Toronto to Philadelphia and kick his ass. He was also lucky that Mr. Blake and everyone else didn't throw him out of the treehouse and gave him a chance to learn more about this great game.

Keep up the long posts and clever ideas. That goes for Daryl, too. I'm so happy that Kevin and Jerry are new friends, I plan on buying them several dinners every summer.

ICT.
