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.

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

I wrote "terrible", not terrible. I don't have a mathematical or biological mind. But I'm not giving up. It was only the lazy side of me talking. After a year or two I'll maybe get the hang of it.

Here is a film, Air, that I used to stare at daily, for the first month on this site: http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/index.p...5&video_id=153

Things like "elbow plane," "turned shoulder plane," (TSP) are mentioned a lot around here as are other things.

I think I learn better by watching videos than reading.
Do you (or anybody else) have other good TGM instructional videos available to watch?

This website has a lot of good videos free or otherwise, Air. YouTube.com has lots of free videos under TGM including Ben Doyle, "Dirters" w/Steve Elkington. I feel the need for video as it gives me a roadmap. Use the search function here. Send us some videos from a cell phone!
