Also take notice to where the ball starts off. This is absolutely correct for a hitter’s action.
I was going over this with a student on The Deck yesterday. The Magic Trick.
Anyone know how to grab GIF copies of motion from elsewhere and post it here and having it still be in motion here. There is a pretty cool look of Arnold Palmer’s head from an eagle eye view which captures an interesting motion flow: kind of a spiral, inward loop, circle, and arc all rolled into one.
Too complex for Rat grey matter to do. 
You can do this like you would link to any image, i.e. like this…
[i m g]http://golfsilver.com/Golfsilvergallery/palmergd.gif[/i m g]
… but without the spaces in “i m g” (2x)
Found the source and it pasted ok here, but upon ‘preview’ Lag’s site said “your images may only be up to 800 pixels wide”.
Is there a way to shorten the image width?
So THAT is what bald spots are for!
Good to know. 
You can certainly see the opposing forces at work. Head moves toward the ball on the backswing to resist backswing travel.
Moves toward the target to resist the change in direction at transition. Moves back to resist CF, and moves away from the target to resist the final stage of CF from P4 to PV5. Just as it should be reacting to the pressures. The head is not the center of the swing.
Thanks for the assistance TM.
I found the gif over @ photbucket, but didn’t know how to make it fit here…stupid little pixels.
Too bad there isn’t more eagle eye views of players, as it would be a different aspect to look at just for comparison…or even compare Palmer’s image to different handicaps. I think the image trail misses down perspective a touch, and up too, but for a 2D view of it, I think it is fun to watch.
Thought amoung others, Teebox and Bom would get a kick out of it, as I did.
I would love to see a green dot/line on or about his chi.
Woke up this morning to check my e mails and have a cup of coffee and had a morning show on in the background. They had a mathematics genius on the show answering all types of questions about Feb 17 1974 being a Saturday and square roots of 3457 etc etc
The host of the show asked the math whiz if he was good at the stock market because of his numbers knowledge and he replied “Yes he and some friends did well as those things work in cycles and they based their thought process on a thing called the FIBONACCI concept…” hmmmm Interesting
Unfortunately that was it… there was no follow up question and that principle just got lost in the rest of the conversation. I thought it was interesting and wanted to hear more…
Anyone got any ideas how that would apply to playing the market?
This fellow(David Knox Barker) uses fibonacci grids to not only forecast price, but also time. His letter and books are very interesting, giving a very plausible explanation for price cycles in all kinds of markets.

Here’s a quote from his latest letter, quoting the late PQ Wall…one can see some golf swing principles…motives( intentions), bipolar contraries(opposing forces), compression in shrinking but ever more explosive limits( module 2)…

In 1943, the author Archibald Rutledge wrote, “Whenever I am in great doubt about some human question, I look into the realm of nature to see whether a parallel does not exist there, a similitude that suggests a solution.”
I came across the above quote earlier today and it reminded me of this thread. I am not sure that I buy into it, but it is a beautiful sentence!
Hello RR,
It has taken too long, but I may now see how your sprinkler race diagram a few pages earlier might represent the left side of the body’s influence on lag. It took too long maybe because as an entrenched over the top hacker, I never really appreciated the significance of post impact acitvity until I got into ABS and studied thoughtful posts.
And if it turns out I don’t really get the diagram after all, the sprinkler race is one I can relate to anyway like most kids who felt the only barely valid reason for going to grammar school was the recess playground and lunch and looking out through widows to stare at stuff like sprinklers and hopefully get hypnotized and doze off into a far, far away happy place. So now I have to take my cheap thrills where I stumble into them and racing sprinklers is not too far down my list.
Hey Teebox, what’s shakin’.
No worries on the diagram…just a lame rat way to express working away from a line, or working against forces. Hope all is well in your crib.
Hey Teebox,
Was doodling today and thought of you. Not that you’re a doodle 
We have to be precise in internet land.
How about a spiral within a spiral…both going essentially CCW, but upon closer inspection they are oppposed…forward travel set against a backward travel within one continuous motion. Bom may also enjoy this as his head was spiraling there for a while.
Spiral forces do blend in myriad forms.
Your fine spiral is one that fits with this.
The walkabout is not done.
I am sure it won’t be my words that make a ball fly where I want it.
Nevermind the last two sentences.
Unlicensed mental shorthand can’t be trusted.
1T, I thought about you when I put this one together…
Cheers, man…
