And what about your golf, Air, getting better ?

I hope you have a nicer spring than we do, it's been very rainy and cool up to now in France. Muddy golf courses except in the last few days.

Pretty wet and difficult conditions. In addition my golf isn't as good as I had hoped. Poor driving and not very convincing short game. I'm not making the right use of things I thought I knew how to do, so I can't rapport of any big achievements. It gets me down a little when I see all the bad and ignorant golfers who often have better scores than I get - time after time...

Are We Talking About the Shoulder Turn Throw
 

Pivot Programming
 

Some seem to just "get it, like that !" and some need to grind their way through... I'm of the second type.. practice... practice...

I'm not so good at practicing. Mostly just playing. Maybe I have some insanity issues, doing the same and expecting differant results? I'm not even sure how to practice (effectively) when I have no supervision..

The Feel Of Extensor Action
 

Comments?
 

Keep it simple. The hands must move at the same speed from start to finish. NEVER NEVER try to accelerate during the release motion. This is the ruination of many golf shots.

I think the message is rather "keep the hands, arms and body in synch" (Rythm).

I'm not sure what being in synch means. Does this allow for a freewheeling arm swing or have I (again) misunderstood something here? Are you talking about rhythm generally speaking or according to the TGM definition? But the main point is not to accelerate the hand speed it seems..?

Hip + Shoulder = SYNCH!
 

Hi Air! I discovered something the other day researching "Right Shoulder" which has really helped me hit the ball better, and further.

We know we need to get the right hip/back hip out of the way by pre-turning or "MacDonalding", and then the shoulder flies true but did you realize that you can fire your right shoulder at the plane or aiming point after the little hip bump?

The hip bump or "Axis Tilt" lowers the back shoulder to the plane if you do not start from Impact Fix. Then you fire the shoulder.

Keeping my wedges firm and starting from Impact Fix allows me to hammer the bejeebers out of the ball with a sweet little power fade! My Hitting thought: "Ready to slap with right hand (RFT), SLAP! (Right Shoulder fires at the ball or Aiming Point to Both Arms Straight)!

Hope this helps! :read: :thumright

Maybe yo know all the

I'm starting to get the message (concept). The only thing is to get the body to do what it's supposed to do. The things you mention here (as a hitter) does it also apply for swinging?

Yes with some caveats.
 

Air, the Swinger traces with Extensor Action along the Baseline of the Plane (I need to check this to see if it is the Target Line), but the Hitter covers the club face path (look this up it is really different).

The Swinger pulls the # 3 PP to the Inside quadrant of the ball or aiming Point whereas the Hitter forms the wedges at Impact Fix and drives the Right Shoulder at the ball, secondarily driving the Right Forearm and PP # 3.

For me, the Swinger pulls a left-handed karate chop at the ball and the Hitter, once the hip is out of the way, right hand slaps (feel right shoulder slap). The flat left wrist and bent right wrist are ALWAYS MAINTAINED AND THEN THE SWINGER SWIVELS THROUGH AND THE HITTER HAS A VERY SMALL SWIVEL.

To the Range, young man! :laughing9

I'm just trying to do what Yoda said I should do, so there is very little hitting on my part. But when trying to perform a punch shot, I guess it's hitting with angled hinging..

Whatever Yoda wants....Yoda gets!
 

Air, I am digesting this stuff and applying it daily! I am not expert in any sense. When I can shoot 9 holes regularly in the mid 30's, I will feel I have arrived. :laughing9


I feel like Yoda gave me as much as I could recognize and then some, which was about 30% of the entire puzzle. He showed me a lot but I really did not understand it because what I did understand was overwhelming and I am a physical learner-I have to do a skill to know it!

So, for example, Lynn showed me a correct grip and a stationary head, putting and putting my chips, a correct flail and a set-up. 4 of my last 6 (9 holes) rounds, where I wasn't fighting Lyme disease meds, have been 42 or less down to 37. I could spend 3 weeks with Lynn but I would have o practice for 6 months to really incorporate his teachings. Anyway... :think:

Rythm was in TGM terms, i.e. "synchronised", or maybe more accurate "correctly sequenced", so no specific acceleration of the hand independent of the body for a swinger (but of course the whole body-arm-hands bundle do accelerate from Top to impact).

In Swinging, the arms are pulled from the left shoulder (#4 pp) that turn via pivot action, that the natural choregraphy of body parts for a swinger.

Usual caveat: that's based on my understanding of the book and of the informations here, I haven't seen an AI.

Correct Grip and Stationary head = insight
 

We all know that life gives us certain choices and so I chose to concentrate on the correct grip and Stationary head. After I did that, a lot of my mistakes became obvious as did the book's solutions. Etzwane is right of course, but I could not connect to his insight until my head was still and my grip was correct.

Thanks to both you and ICT. This has been an informative day.

Air, this post has helped me a lot-do it-practice it!

Hitting vs: swinging
 

I guess the endless belt is in the picture here - allthough I barely understand what it's all about.

Martin Chuck is not an AI but has mentioned to be really inspired by TGM. It's not precise TGM instruction but I do watch his videos regularly.
