Thanks to all,

here is my opinion to my question in relation to your replies ...

1) airair - no, I do not agree with you, I believe that all golf strokes have its own total motion
fyi page 221 of 7th edition - 12-0 says: Chips and Putts are merely miniaturized. And each must have its own Total Motion
?

I don't want to impose my thoughts on you - I'm toiling with this to find out what to think. That each shot has its own total motion I find very confusing. In that case one could say that the total motion of the basic motion is 2-3 feet back and 2-3 feet thru. I would rather say that it's the normal range of the basic motion - about a quarter swing. When we get up to a half swing with the arms parallel to the ground we have a required motion and over that again the total motion. Does it really make sense to talk about the total motion of the total motion?

I hope somebody can comment on this to clear this up in case I have it all wrong.
