going in order of bolded statements.....

Jtill your statement "it's impossible for your head not to go down if you shift weight totally to your left leg via hip slide while maintaining a centered head." is NOT TRUE, try it for yourself, i can do it!... it's sort of saying, 'ya homer was on the right track with the head thing but not really when it comes down to reality cuz it's impossible to really do...' reality is based on physics, geometry and the laws of the universe, a bouncing post with an object rotating around it is no good. It is most certainly possible to shift the weight via a hip slide into the left leg and tilt the axis of the shoulders with a stationary post NO BOBBING NO SWAYING its perfectly possible and to say otherwise is wrong and is calling homer wrong.

Im gonna go ahead and call the tour player head bob wrong, if its unintentional its not wrong, its a malfunction to be refined until eliminated just as with any other swing fault. If its done consciously it is WRONG and injustice to golfdom as the fate of golfdom rests partially on the shoulders of ELDRICK....which are bouncing up and down...

It would have made them better! I can guarantee it. bouncing up and down is not adding any snap or power! no matter how much it seems like it is, this is what homer calls a SEEMS-AS-IF partially the reason for the book, to eliminate the seems-as-ifs by applying law because the golf stroke is governed by only that, the laws of the universe, physics, geometry. other things they are employing to power the swing may inadvertently cause the head to drop and so it seems that the head drop is the power move, the head dropping and jumping up is not adding anything and is ALWAYS A MALFUNCTION no matter how many majors they have.

What would you then to maintain the shoulder to ball radius if you fire the lower body with lateral movement? You would have to intentionally lift the head/shoulders a bit by straightening your spine a bit, right?

Wouldn't that be less easier compared to just unc0cking at setup our left wrist more than level (which is what would be at impact) to approximate the amount of shoulder-ball radius shortening?
