WHY 1-J Basics
Does Mr. Kelley say . . .
The program for solid progress is the acquisition of one factor at a time. Starting at any place. But preferably at one end of the Machine or other - the clubface or the feet. Preferably the feet.
So we got all this stuff about Educated Hands and Hand Controlled Pivot and picking up coffee cups with our eyes shut and using the pressure points in the hands as the club equivalent feel and flat left wrists and clubhead lag pressure points. . .

And then he tells us that he prefers that we start . . .

AT THE FEET???

What the heck is that all about?

Why feets?

Somebody

My guess would be because the feet & lower body play a major role in balancing, stabilizing, and powering the entire machine.

In a word...

Balance.

Per 1-L:

"In every athletic activity, success seems to be unquestionably proportional to the player's sense of balance and force --whether innate or acquired. Off-balance force is notoriously erratic. The mechanical device has no balance problem but the human machine does, and mastery of the Pivot (Zone #1) is so essential for good Golf."

The Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3) contains 45 mission-critical alignments for Golfing success. Not surprisingly, the list begins -- and ends -- with Balance.

The downswing starts from the feet up.
