What component variations are we seeing here in TGM terms?
Thanks

May I please bump for OB's question. Beautiful motion. I think it may even have a touch of VJ Trolio's secret going on. I would LOVE to learn more about what you think about your swing Yoda! A list of components would go a long way in assisting me...
Thank You,
Kevin

hitter/swinger
Yoda, if you also answer questions from an ignorant beginner (with regards to TGM) may I ask: What we here see, is it a hitter or a swinger? (How do we see that?).
Is it a good idea for a hitter to address the ball from an impact fix position?

Hi Air. You are unaware, I'm sure, that Yoda is conducting...

...4 days of lessons and massive amounts of kibitzing which will hopefully lead to massive amounts of other business etc., etc., etc.
Yoda does answer questions for all sorts of people but he might not do it today.  Most of our brain trust is with Yoda, too, at this event so double phooey.
I could tell you what I know, but we both know that is limited. You have several really good options, however. 1) Go to our PM option (personal mail) and open a buddy list. 2) Look up KevCarter, JerryG, Daryl, O.B.Left and EDZ. 3) Send them your questions. They are fabulous people as far as I can tell. They will answer your questions, effectively. 4) Your other option while waiting for their responses, is to use our "search" function and look up "Impact Fix," "Startup," "Downswing," and any other term that interests you.
I have an impact bag in my basement and a higher ceiling  . I also have 3 little dogs (and one does look like Toto), who always need to go out. I get a concept, take the dogs out, whack the bag using my new-found insights for 20 minutes and my wife thinks I'm a genius. The dogs like me and I even think of questions I can harass Daryl, with, which is very fun.
Is it still very light at night in your location? When does golfing stop there? Do you have indoor golf ranges?
Onward!
Patrick

I thought to remind you of something else, Air.

If you can, "The Address Routine" shows how Ted Fort, "Yoda's Luke" I think on our site, hits the ball. It is a very good video, imho. Well worth the price, and you download it online!
The "Alignment I" DVD's are great, really, also. I gave them to my dad for his birthday, and now must order a second set.

I have done exactly what you have recommended. This should get me started. But the book is "terrible".

Air, I have a systematic theologian's mind. I learn systems by learning their exceptions. TGM is a logical system TROUGHOUT!!!!
Do you have biology in high school in Norway? We have it here. TGM is a numerical classification of a biological system. The system being classified is the human skeletal bio-mechanical system. If you picture TGM as a medical text, it will become simple.
Draw a picture of the human skeleton, and assign sections of the book to the appropriate parts of the skeleton. That is what I'm doing for my First Tee curriculum. It will help me justify the extra-curricular activity with a science/biology component for school funding. It happens to be true, too.
Hope that helps!
Pat

If I remember correctly the swing sequence in question was part of video in which Yoda described a hammer like action of the left wrist and arm, a hammering down. This would be consistent with a (left) Wrist Throw 10-20-E, a Swingers thing. A non Automatic firing of the #2 angle , the left wrist cock a deliberate hammering down action that actively uncocks the left wrist.
