Aussie,
in your Mrose reply you speak of 'the only thing the ball knows is impact' i agree indeed.
But, doesnt everthing before impact centralize all efforts and alignments to be inline with the desired impact? i would think so.
TGM is all about maximising effort-physics and correct alignments to get out what you put in. So if the before hand of impact (adress, top, release) is vague, then the impact is not maximised.
I am far from a worthy informer, but i would not spend too much time on the slightly bent left elbow if you are comfortable wiht it, as long as the plane is respected.
Any chance we can get a down the line view?
Any chance we can get a higher speed quality of your swing? you are too darn fast!

Truly truly valid points powerdraw. And no doubt what you say is correct. I can certainly see both sides of the equation.
Currently time is not on my side for this season with our tour starting in 4 weeks and the worlds being about 3 months away. I am considering putting major swing changes onto my to do list for next season which I will start preparation for in November. Maximising Extensor action is certainly on the top of that list!!
I am kind of at the crossroads. Do I continue to tinker or do I say well let's maximise what we have now and focus on technical changes after this year's dance is done?
My swing has never had as much speed and power and I owe TGM a lot of this improvement. I am sure I will have some better competition videos for you to view soon. But it may be a little bit harder to view as I am currently posting 140's. Will see what I can do!

Hi A_B,
Haha…we meet at LBG this time…I found something that you might love to watch…one of your idol, Jason Zuback, talking about long drive training.
Here you go.
