"Wow, Teddy, none of this is in Homer's book "The Golfing Machine," His 80 hours of audio, couple hours of video or notes."

You apparently missed his statement about the volumes of books that could be written to compliment TGM, not re-define it.

"Does this mean we can use other data in debate around this place?"

I'll listen to anything that you post, if it can be substantiated by geometric or physical data. Not just because Brian told me so.

"I will say this—this post is harder to read than the book."

I find people in this forum to be very intelligent with the ability to read.

"The center of the spine is also not in the rear of the torso, nor the head."

It’s behind the center of the head, as stated.

"You can hit a golf ball at a world-class level with many different points used as the 'center of rotation.'"

The point should be close to the top, not the pelvis. You can teach the Y factor if you'd like.

"You don't hit the ball on the backswing."

But, you prepare to do so. I guess we can start teaching people to start from top or end, as a top instructor suggested a few years ago.

"The bottom of the spine, the tailbone, moves all over dodge in a Stationary Head swing, as well as a bunch in other 'center of rotation' locations."

Seemingly not, when using the Y factor.

"The center of gravity in the body (swing) is located well below the head in the lower torso area."

Here, we are talking about the physics of rotation, not CG. So here's a little more information that’s too hard to read:
If you understand CG and understand the way to calculate it, you would understand that CG doesn't always have to be inside the body.
For objects with symmetry, the center of gravity is always located along the axis of symmetry. Do you teach many symmetrical people?
(Def. of symmetrical: EXACT correspondence of form and constituent configuration on opposite sides of a dividing line or plane or about a center or an axis)

"The point here Teddy, is that there is libraries full of data in biomechanics and other disciplines that would really muddy the water in the search for the PERFECT 'swing.' Homer had bunch figured out, but obviously not everything."

The point here Brian, is that there ARE (not is) libraries. And secondly, it would be a great service to us and everyone else in the world if you would write a book about all the things that Homer got wrong (with supporting empirical data).

"I teach a lot of people to have a perfectly steady head, because for them it works better."

It may sadden you that we agree on something.

"But, you and Lynn are saying you ONLY teach it one way—totally still head—which means our friend Leo Tong(zilla) went totally with LBG's teachings, he would have to HOPE and PRAY that he would be able to hit it as good with a "pivot tripod center," as he does with a different—more "spine centered" center of backstroke rotation. Because, right now, and at Canton, his RESULTS say that you are wrong."

As far as "you are wrong", pointing fingers is childish and non-substantive. "Totally still head" is your misinterpretation and misrepresentation of the posts that you've read. Read them again. Lynn and I teach anything and everything that's in TGM. Some components are "recommended", some are said to be "extremely hazardous". I have the ability to teach the more complicated of the two, if you'd like. But, SELDOM does anyone ask for that.

I eagerly await all of the mysteries that you will reveal on the list of things that Homer got wrong. Lynn Blake will always be one to teach all of the things that Homer got right. Additionally, TGM is the unwavering foundation of OUR teaching, not just a tool.
