[12 piece bucket]

I know what you say about planes etc...I sort of get it...need time to think...

I agree with Bagger... he has many hitting components... but that can depend alot on where you get your first exposure to TGM.... if you learn a "twistaway" type move early on....then you can get a swing that looks like this... I did... works well until one ( OK ...i mean I) ignorantly start to work on incorporating swingers components into the hitting pattern that one has subconsiously started to develop.

Would a conscious move to the angle of approach help if Detonum wants to hit ? Maybe his hip slide looks better if one considers it from the 10-5-E downswing plane option that Hitters can use?

The arch starts in frame 2 of the DTL views....hands stay stationary whilst the clubhead moves up back and in....if the hands moved up back and in at the same pace and the impact address was less pronounced....there would be no arch... essentially what Mike was saying...

Looks like to me he's already arched at Address with his hands that far forward.
