I dont think the navel thing is really a Homer yellow book mandate is it? Perhaps its better attributed to someone else.

I doubt Homer would change Watson , Stricker or Furyk even. He defined the Turning Shoulder Plane for instance so it must be useful to his mind, viable. He might not start a new golfer off that way but he is on record as saying it doesnt have a mechanical disadvantage if properly executed. That is to say it (the Turning Shoulder Plane with all its constant changes in planes) would hit the ball just fine if properly executed.

If you were going to throw a club down the fairway as far as you could, you'd go radial and end over end it for sure rather than spear chuck it longitudinally. But would you do it without any longitudinal Delay? When seen on tape do guys actually throwing a club show any Longitudinal , Delay? I dunno. I suspect you would see some delay.

From 2-P Wristcock is Homer's concept of the mechanical advantage of the later release ......added velocity namely.

" ...So as the Clubhead moves from minimum to maximum radius , its Surface Speed (6-N-O) in miles per hour (MPH) increases geometrically. However , the RATE at which the Clubhead radius increases is an additional Velocity factor ---that is , its "Overtaking Rate" (6-F)". Which is dictated by Hand Speed, Trigger Delay (7-20 , 7-23) and Travel and which continues until the In-Line (6-B-0) FULL EXTENSION of the Lever Assembly (6-A) is achieved. "
