EC,
I am not "authorized" to be considered an expert on the golfing machine, however, Homer must have put "right arm" Swinging in the book for a reason. I have video footage of Jodie Mudd and discussing his procedure to a bunch of his cronies....I will send it to you to view for yourself. You must also read Golf - O - Metrics by Joe Norwood...you can check it out at the library in Pinehurst. It is not even close to the same league as Mr. Kelley's beautiful work with the "Machine" but to those like yourself who have an "open-minded" approach to learning might find some value in it. Longitudinal Acceleration of the clubshaft at Start Down with the right forearm . The deal is the location and alignment of the right elbow and forearm in relation to the secondary lever (7-3). I personally have felt the "twinge" in my right elbow from the right elbow becoming the "center" of the stroke, resulting in many "pull- hooks, fat shots, throwaway. etc..." because of my "trial and error" style of learning. I was misled early on in my training in the"Machine" that swinging was only"Left-sided' and hitting is only "right-sided". The truth is in 1-F,7-3.10-3 B 2nd and 3rd editions . I wonder what happens when you combine a major stroke like pitch or"slap" (10-3) with a minor stroke like "pull" 10-3 D. To know the machine is to "apply" the machine... I would highly encourage trying more than just the "two" of its recommended uncompensated stroke patterns. Maybe perhaps read all 6 published editions when studying a particular concept or component. It might help you find more "nuggets" of insight. It was great to see you and Scottie B last week, I always learn something in our discussions. Theory is exactly that ... a theory, but real power comes in the application of theories to realize their truth or their misses.

The Force is with you....use the Force,
