You fellas may have seen this one but I just unearthed it for the first time.

Bobby Clampetts swing was clearly showing its early 1980's roots (as did mine and most everyone else back then). While Mr Kelley was no doubt asked to analyze a very prominent TGM student he also seems to be gently critiquing a generational swing style. In the era of knee drive and hang back Mr Kelleys ideas must have seemed even more radical then than they do now.

I used to have a backswing like that with the right arm staying straight and it was a recipe for angled or even vertical hinging for me. Mr Kelley deals with it all very politely I think. Sadly much of his insight was edited out. If only the golfing world had a chance to embrace what he was he saying, they could have saved a decade or two of wandering around in woods, literally.

Im still weeding some of these things out of my garden. But now thanks to Lynn's site and Homers book, I can separate the weeds from the flowers quite easily.

Thanks to Yoda for sharing with us this unedited swing analysis by Homer Kelley. Its a rare glimpse of his swing thoughts in a somewhat casual context.

PS Clampett's release, impact and follow through photos look fantastic by any era's standards.

PSS And lag plus! Nice.
