Sorry for being such a pain in the ass. But I can't help it.

Power Package Delivery Paths are Straight-Line, Angled-Line and Circular. None of these claims that the Hands travel in a perfect Circle when facing the Golfer. That’s not the purpose of the Power Package Delivery Paths.

Nesbits research does not measure TGM’s Circular Delivery Path. Non-Pivot Strokes, No Axis Tilt, Chip and Pitch Shots (Soft Strokes).

Nesbits research is limited to the Straight Line Delivery Path. No Plane Shift from Top to Impact. Therefore, no one who shifts back to an Elbow Plane for Release is included in his study.

7-23 POWER PACKAGE DELIVERY PATH The three possible paths of the Hands down the Inclined Plane (10-23) are the Basic Delivery Procedures and the Delivery Line Equivalents (2-J-3) must comply with them. Per 2-F, the LINE Delivery Paths are “Cross Line” procedures and the CIRCLE Delivery Path is “On Line” in their relation to the geometric Plane Line. For a Circle “Equivalent:, the Hands sense (5-0) an flat gyroscopic circular “orbit” path from Takeaway (8-4) to The Top (8-6) AND BACK AGAIN. So the player envisions – is consciously aware of – a turning wheel RIM motion of the Hands, Clubshaft and Clubhead toward and on through the Ball. For a Line “Equivalent”, the Hands from Takeaway to The Top AND BACK AGAIN, sense the Clubshaft as a wheel SPOKE tracing a straight line extension of the selected Delivery Path. So the player envisions – is consciously aware of – a straight line wheel TRACK motion (rather than its rotation) toward and on through the Ball.

Normally, Delivery “THRUST” is “Cross Line” – Delivery “MOTION” is “On Line”. Even at Low Point, because Delivery Path Angle (direction) is ALWAYS the alternate Target Line (7-2-3) even with Circle Delivery Path (1-L-9, 1-L-10). Study 7-11 and 7-19.

The Straight Line Path is a simpler procedure than the Angled Line Path. But the latter is very natural movement and has the advantage of the true Elbow Plane through Impact. The former can have a steeper-than-normal Elbow Plane compensated with a reaching-out of the arms and a shifting of the Left Hand Grip that places the Clubshaft in the Cup of the Hand instead of under the heel of the Hand, and the Right Hand Grip adjusted to correspond. The sharpness of the arcs at either end of “Line” Paths determines how much of that “Line” can remain and how much the change from Linear Speed (Downstroke) to Angular Speed (Release) will increase Clubhead Speed without changing Hand Speed – the “Endless Belt Effect” of #3 Accumulator per 2-K#6 and 6-B-3-B.

The Circle Path of the Hands is mandatory for all Non-Pivot Strokes (6-L-0) whether Hitting or Swinging (7-19). The “Axis Tilt” (2-H) allows Line Delivery Path but does not require it.

Therefore, Circle Delivery Path is for Non-Pivot Strokes, Angled Path is for Pivot Controlled Hands (Plane Shifts-focus on Rotation) and Straight Line Delivery Paths (Focus on wheel track) are for Hands Controlled Pivots where the Hands travel on the Selected Plane from Top to Impact.

Furthermore, he admits that his findings do not include measuring the differences in Force (Centrifugal) between Sweep and Snap Release of the Power Package. He never intended to measure CF or Right Arm Thrust.

Furthermore, all modeling was limited to Zero Roll and Turn of the Clubface.

The Purpose of his Study was to examine the Path of the Hands to determine if they moved in a Circle or Not when facing the Golfer.

He blasts the Double Pendulum Model as we all have. The Double Pendulum Model assumes a Perfect Circle Path of the Hands on Full Strokes. Computer modeling using the Double Pendulum is inherently flawed.

The Hands don’t travel in a Circle during Full Strokes. We already knew that. Nesbit believes that his Computer Modeling is Superior to other Computer Models, which assume that the Hands Travel in a Circle. Nesbits is the first Computer Modeling, of a portion of the Golf Swing, that includes Hands moving in a path other than a Circle. If someone would teach Nesbit about the "Endless Belt" effect then he may be able to improve his Computer Model.

Is that a Big deal? Not for Golfers. It is a huge deal for Computer Modelers like Nesbit. It may only take fifty years, when modeling can include all of the Bio-mechanics and Golf Swing Theory, including various Procedures.

Golfers looking for the Long Ball are reading into this research more than whats there. We all know that a 7 iron can be played from 1 to 180 yards. If you want 185, take a 6 iron and swing at 80%.
