If I was interested in the simplicity of TSP, could I do my whole full swing that way?
I understand that it would get complicated on a short swing.
If I'm missing the point here, just say so and I'll read this stuff again, but I don't get it.
Maybe I need to keep reading the original threads?

Hey Patrick,
Don't make it seem complicated, it's really not. Peek at 12-1 Basic Drive loading. Combine that with a quote from
Mr. Kelley in 1982, it's not in the book. I call it:
STARTING OVER WITH G.O.L.F.

"If I were starting to play golf, this is what I would concentrate on. It's what it all boils down to. It's even simpler than The Triad."
• At Fix, establish your Flat, Level and Vertical Left Wrist and your On Plane Right Forearm Angle of Approach (7-3).
• At Start Up, take your Hands Up, Back, and In on the Plane of your Right Forearm.
• Through Impact, return to the Fix Hand Location and the established Right Forearm Angle of Approach.
From that foundation, focus on the imperatives and essentials while monitoring the pressure points. Sounds simple, and it works for me. I'm not sure yet if this simplicity can totally work in with my teaching, but I believe anyone can master basic hitting no matter what their physical condition. As players get more advanced, they add Power Accumulators until we get to 4 Barrel Hitting.

Very simple, consistent procedure where we all need to start. Modifications to our strokes can and will be made, but in my mind this is the baseline, 12-1.
