Following Yoda, Daryl , and Kevin's tips for Swings and Hits.

Note also that you can have the Shaft on the Elbow Plane and have the Wedge aligned to the TSP and Visa Versa.

If you don't see a major Alignment Change then you don't fully grasp the Right Forearm Wedge. You need to Bend your Right Wrist, Keeping it Level and then wrap it with Ace Bandages to keep it stable. Then go to Impact Fix, however you won't have the opportunity to change the #3 Accumulator Angle. I guess you gotta go one on one.

I've found many examples of the TSP used by Pro's and have put them up for Review. Look at Phil Mickelson.

I went to Impact Fix using 4 of Mac monitors to LOOK, LOOK, LOOK and back to Standard Address. I bent my right elbow but kept right wrist LEVEL. Then I straightened my right elbow hoping to get to the TSP. (Is that how I get to TSP?)

When going to what I hope is TSP or more "TSPish," my right forearm and the club shaft seemed to be on the same plane. My right arm was at 90 degrees to the club shaft. By bending my right elbow, using RFT, my club came up to shoulder level after tracing the BLP (Base Line of the Plane). I checked the position by extending the club shaft to see if it did indeed point to the BLP and it did.

The Plane is so steep that the Vertically Cocked Left Wrist seems balanced on a pinpoint. A slight bump of the hips forward and the club head smashes into the ground, hard. I experimented with the Horizontal Hinge and wide, stable stance. The club face seems to rotate and close. With an Angle Hinge and a Hitting stroke the club head shallows and lays back a bit.

The problem for me was that when I first started reading about TGM, there was just too much information! You might be reading this and saying to yourself "I'm smart (Not like you or Sonny but I'm smart! I was passed over Mikey! I was your older brother and I was passed over! How do you think that made me feel?)"

Seriously, to read the info is one thing and that is daunting. To apprehend the information by practicing is impossible to do without a guide. Now I had a very good TGM teacher who knew or had taught almost every system from Ledbetter to TGM, but he was not a proponent of RFT, though a very effective teacher. LBG is another level of detail completely. I would ask questions having to go through my learning process and my AI would say that's not important, just do this. His point was that he would teach me a swing I could shoot par with and he could. But my point was that I wanted to know TGM. John didn't want to waste my time or money. I had to know though, what TGM was and is. John gave me a TGM tool kit and I wanted the Ph. D.

I now see John's point. TGM can be a simple tool kit. it could be 52 toolkits, one for each week of the year. But I want and need to understand the whole puzzle.

Impact Fix is the key.

As Daryl and Kevin have pointed out, the goal of a golf swing/hit is Impact with a FLW.

The right forearm gives support and power, precision and power to the wedges whether Hitting or Swinging. That elegant structure, the Power Package can reduce compensations to nil thus maximizing anyone's power.

What I still don't get is how to KNOW I'm on the TSP. I also don't understand why the Ben Doyle fellas are so into CF. Maybe it's as simple as Chocolate versus Strawberry.
