Establishing the Waist Bend

Using the golfing machine how would Homer explain how you would setup your spine angle so everytime you have a precise setup time after time.
Homer Kelley favored alignments that allow the player to function on the golf course, not in the lab. For that reason, he was interested in those geometric alignments that were easy to check visually and that, ideally, would promote a 'sameness' for all Strokes. He was adamantly opposed to anything smacking of 'degrees.'

To your question:

1. Set up with the Left Wrist in its Level alignment (4-B-1); and

2. Use the the 'sole and stretch' procedure outlined in 2-J-1 to establish the correct Clubface Impact alignments.

Do these things, and the Waist Bend will take care of itself, both for each individual club and for the specific Shot at hand. However, as a general guide for Medium, Short and Long Shots, study photos 9-1-1 #1, #2 and #3.
