[O.B.Left]

In TGM terms,
My natural tendency is TSP in the backswing then shift to EP for the forward swing.
I tried different patterns but if I haven't played for a while I usually return to the above pattern.

Its in the book......Double shift, 10-7-B and see 10-23-B Angled Line.

As a side note, read the description of the procedure in the second paragraph of 10-23-B :

"From the Top -of-the Straight -Line hand position the Hands take a nearly vertical path to the Plane of the Elbow Angle before they start their drive directly at and through the Aiming Point (2-J-3)"

Then take a close look at the photo .....do you see that faint black , shadowy arrow that points at the ball? This arrow represents the Aiming Point concept graphically.

This "vertical drop" is also especially useful for golfers who get their Hands above a TSP at Top or End. In this situation since the Right Shoulder and the Hands are not on the same Inclined Plane any movement of the Right Shoulder in Startdown would pull the Hands down but also out over the plane. Hence the need to "drop" the Hands near vertically. It was a popular move back in the high hands days of the 1970's. The first generation of white belts with plaid pants.
