MIke , would super flexible or loosened wrists, as distinct from grip pressure be a prerequisite for #1. Who in the history of golf was a #1'r? Bobby Jones, Freddy? Or is it a theoretical end of a spectrum deal where some may approach it more than others but no one ever quite gets all the way there? Im thinking its the latter.

Homer did have a lot of definitions that at the extremes seemed well , "ungolf like" but theoretically possible IMO , this might be one of em.

I dunno.

Interesting thread. Didnt intend to start a ruckus with the adrenalin thing....

I don't have access to my main library to give you any Homer notes to support his view. I personally feel that there is plenty of force that you can create that wouldn't require loosened wrists to allow CF to control the face. Secondly, I'm pretty sure that he writes with True Swinging there is only one ball location for any particular club for straight away ball flight (not that I agree) - so if you could change your ball location with any particular club and still hit a straight shot without much work - then I would think that may be a test to confirm that you are not a true swinger. I think I recall him saying that a True Swinger would be a rare bird - can't verify that now though.
