I'm sorry to hear that. I thought I could trust him, so I took most of it to heart. Do you want to tell me what he has misunderstood and where he has gone wrong, in case I have to forget some of the things I have read.

If what he says works for you, then good. Any information you find needs to be confirmed by you, by trial and error into your own swing.

But, if you'd like an example, then examine his analysis of Right Arm Swinging.

He devotes um-teen paragraphs to the subject and clearly states that TGM lacks in-depth analysis (that's his first mistake), and finally groups "Right Arm Swinging and Hitting" under the same topic (that's his second mistake). Why doesn't he explain that the difference between Right and Left Arm Swinging is the "Center of the Stroke radius" (not to be confused with the center of the Swing).

What differentiates the Left Arm Stroke from the Right Arm Stroke is that the Left Shoulder is the center of the Left Arm Stroke and the Right Elbow is the Center of the Right Arm Stroke. Why doesn't he know that? This is basic stuff.

He doesn't explain any of it this way because he doesn't understand it. He would have been more accurate if he grouped Hitting and Swinging together because at least they both use the Left Shoulder as the center of the Stroke Radius.

So what are you to do with this information? How can his information help you?


The following is a statement made by the Dr.

The basic idea is that a right arm swinger must mimic Ben Hogan's positional/movement actions as closely as possible - by using the right arm in a "biomechanically correct" way.

Are we to assume that Ben Hogan is a Right Arm Swinger? I don't know what medication the Dr. takes, but I want some.

My advice to you, as it is for anyone, is that it's important to understand and be able to apply the core concepts of the Golf Swing. Dr. Mann will continue to learn and he'll no doubt adjust his conclusions because of it.
