Houston we have a diction problem.

These are all just words and words have meaning and some of you haven't the faintest clue what those long established widely accepted meanings are.

Physics specifically a BRANCH of physics called MECHANICS pertains to the study of forces and motion. Isssac Newton is the father of that branch of physics. He invented calculus to describe it and he wrote the Principia.... CREDIT WHERE DUE.

MECHANICS is subdivided in to STATICS AND DYNAMICS. Dynamics is the study of MOTION including the FORCES which cause that motion. KINEMATICS is the study of MOTION withOUT regards to forces.... some might say KINEMATICS is what TGM calls GEOMETRY (but GEOMETRY IS A BRANCH OF MATHEMATICS which dates back at least 5000 years to Summeria... Homer is not the father of Geometry)

The latest buzz word making its way around the misguided golf world is "Kinetic Chain"... Some people foolishly speak about "Snapping their Kinetic Chain". They are clueless. There is an entire discipline devoted to the study of what these know-it-alls call the kinetic chain called: MECHANISMS. The study of MECHANISMS (in this case the human mechanism) involves how to create a desired motion including the DYNAMICS and KINEMATICS (forces and Geometry)

GOLF IS NOT about Conservation of Momentum (angular or linear). The physicist that advised Dante and started misunderstanding GOT IT WRONG. Chochran and Stobbs GOT IT WRONG. The golfer is NOT a body subject to a CENTRAL FORCE.

The GOAL of a golfer is to get the club head properly oriented and moving on the optimal path with the highest possible velocity. When the mass of the club head meets the mass of the ball MOMENTUM is transfered from the club head to the ball. Everything else is bullcaca.
