Gettin' Down With Mr. Kelley

club at the target could lead anyone to directing a PP or the butt end of the
club toward the ball or any nearby point on the plane line.



Homer Kelley taught that, from The Top, the Downstroke Motion was a Straight
Line
Thrust of the #3 Pressure Point directly toward the Ball. In
personal demonstration, he would move his Right Hand Forefinger in an
absolutely straight line toward the Ball until his Right Arm was straight.
Further, he contrasted that move with its Throwaway-inducing counterfeit,
i.e., swinging 'toward the Target'. His demonstration complete and
unmistakeable, he would then instruct his students to visualize the Face of
the Club as a downward-angled 'block,' and use it to hammer the
Ball into the Ground
