So Im down in Florida and get asked by a friend to play some tennis. Im an old squash player. My friend quickly notices my bad squash habits , my flippy wrist action, my weak grip etc and offers a quick lesson. I immediately think of Homer, who was an avid tennis player. My pal is describing my need for a what we would call a RFFW. His second point is what we would call "the frozen right wrist". His third a tennis version of the right hands 10-2-D grip.
Could Homer have been taking the right arm tennis geometry and applying it to golf? The Law is the Law so it doesnt matter to me where he got his inspiration.
Any tennis players out there that tend toward hitting? What cha think?
ABSOLUTELY . . . a tennis racket has a face, shaft, and head . .. it's swung on a plane . . . . There's a quote in the book somewhere I think where he says something to the effect that "this information could be used in other sports." No question this would apply to tennis . . . geometry and physics are applicable fo' shizzle.
