Just found this while waiting for one or two parents to show out of the 80 some odd students I teach. Of course, the ones that come represent the "A" students still in my school!

Anyway, I just feel like I passed an exam!

Bagger,

One thing Yoda stressed with me is to use the same set-up routine for every shot - on the range and on the course. It is one part of your golf swing that takes no coordination or any physical skills, in my opinion. It's one of those things you can get right 100% of the time.

So why not get it right every time?

-The Golt
Ever wonder why that 'other guy' always does so much better?

I'm talking about your alter ego who inhabits the same physique but who hits 'second' after your first ball has sailed OB or PL (Probably Lost) or that three-footer didn't touch the hole. It's because, per 3-F-5, "most misshots are lost at Address -- by not mentally spelling out exactly the selected Stroke Variations and their technique and Feel."

The Address Routine of 3-F-5 is a Three-Step Failsafe Procedure that enables you to hit your 'second' shot first! Master each Step -- Practice Stroke, Waggle and Forward Press -- independently and then integrate the entire procedure into your Game.

Do that and the 'other guy' will soon find himself looking for work!

The #1 Alignment in G.O.L.F. and at Impact Fix is the Flat Left Wrist (4-D-1;1-L-8; 2-0-B-1) or less satisfactorily, its geometric equivalent per 10-2-G.Without it, more information means only more confusion. And if the LeftWrist is Flat (4-A-1), then the Right Wrist must be Bent (4-A-2). Remember,there are no "degrees" of Flatness. The Wrist is either Flator it is not Flat. The Bent Wrist, on the other hand, has no such definitivealignment and even the slightest deviation from the Flat classificationqualifies. So, while there is only one Flat, the number of Bent positionsapproaches infinity. Bottom Line: Assuming the precision Grip of 10-2-B, ifyour Left Wrist isn't Flat or your Right Wrist isn't Bent, you're doing itwrong.

Having established these correct alignments -- 'Fixed' them in your Computer(Chapter 14) and Feel System (1-J) -- you then verify them with the FowardPress, the third procedure of the Three-Step Checkout Routine of AdjustedAddress. This procedure demands that you shift your entire Machine to theImpact position and verify six Impact alignments (A-F in 3-F-5).Having verified each of the six, you then would ideally reassume the AdjustedAddress position -- if only momentarily -- to retain its advantages, namely itsfluid position between the weightshifts and facility of Plane Line Tracing(7-9). Only then would you finally proceed into Start-Up (8-4). All this is theprocess of establishing Component Alignments and Relationships as required fora selected Ball Response (Glossary / Address Routine).

beginners: get out your highlighter
These are just a few important phrases that a newbie to TGM might find interesting. I thought they could be some things to highlight for all you first time readers of the little yellow book. Understand that this is just the tip of the iceburg!:

In the preface: page VII, 1st sentence, 2nd paragraph.

Page 11: copy it and tape it to your forehead!

Page 12: 2-0-A

Page 26: 2nd to last sentence in 1st paragraph, “The Right Forearm...”

Page 37: 4th sentence of 1st paragraph, “Pivot Thrust alone...” and the first two sentences of the last paragraph.

Page 50 & 51: 1st sentence of the 2nd paragraph, “The Practice Stroke...”, the 1st sentence of the 3rd paragraph, “The Address Waggle...”, and the 1st sentence at the top of page 51, “The Forward Press...”. Also, A-F on page 51.

Page 51: 3-F-6, Execution, whole 1st paragraph.

Page 52 & 53: 3-F-7-A, B, C, and D, at least the 1st sentence.

Page 55-57: 4-A-1 through 3; 4-B-1 through 3; and 4-C-1 through 3.

Page 60: 2nd to last sentence, “That - failure to clear...”.

Page 63: 6-0, last sentence, “There is no Stroke...”.

Page 65: 6-A-4, 1st sentence

Page 66: last three sentences starting with “From the Feet...”.

Page 68: 6-B-1-D, another entire page to tape to your forehead.

Page 71: 6-B-3-0-1, it’s best just to see Yoda, or any of his faithful followers.

That will give you enough reading for now.

Well, since the original question in 2006 went partly unanswered, I'll jump in. I just was studying chapter 6 this morning and stumbled upon it.

No, using right forearm takeaway DOES NOT destroy the triangle. Per:

Quote:
6-A-1 THE TRIANGLE ASSEMBLY

The Power Package is basically a Triangle and this form puts it under the Law of the Triangle. The Straight Left Arm forms Side One, the Shoulders form the second Side and a line from the Right Shoulder to Hands forms the Third Side – whether the Right Arm is straight or bent.
All the answers are there for us, sometimes it just takes us a few years to find it.

A different view...
 
A different view, perhaps...

http://youtu.be/sCRAs-xZm4k

There is a comment in the "Hogan's Secret Book" about Mr. Hogan figuring out a lift of his left heel and a planting of his left heel would greatly aid impact and the stationary head. If you couple this observation with the old 'weight on the inside of the right foot," you get "The Right-Sided Swing." When you combine this with Lynn Blake's excellent combination of TGM explanations, you get a sublime swing motion or Hitting motion that bashes the ball with accuracy, imho like Norman and Hogan. It amazes me how TGM observations benefit "The Right Sided Swing" practitioner or any swing practitioner with observations of "tracing the baseline of the plane," "power accumulators," "delivery path," "Horizontal hinge," "Angled Hinge," "Pressure Point # 3," and of course, "The Magic of the Right Forarm," "Right Forearm Takeaway," "and "Forward Press." And, last and not least, IMPACT FIX!

These are simply my initial observations and opinions but geometry is either accurate or not and "the ball doesn't lie!"

Is this a great game and is LBG golf a great set of tools or what? :laughing9 :) :read: :golf:

Is "His -story" really a synthesis of all that the HP has taught and re-taught? :idea1: :read: :dontknow: :scratch: :idea: :newbie:

AN OPTION FOR LIL' OLD ME! Pre-set a flat left heel with slight left left knee bend and RFAoA so right elbow is tucked to the hip (Hogan)(Daryl) (TGM) and a highish left shoulder so plenty of room and stability. Forward Press into a narrow right wrist Start-up Swivel with gusto, flat left heel and right forearm drive (right arm always under left arm) against the right side( like retuning from a lawnmower pull )with heavy Bent Wright Wrist (very narrow feeling almost like the entire backswing is a Bent Right Wrist -then a sawed-off right forearm drive of pp# 3) into a Horizontal Hinge and an abbreviated Finish Swivel. OR same set-up , Forward Press and Covering the Base Line of the Plane with gusto, followed by the mother of all right Forearm drives and an Angle Hinge of biblical proportions for the certain fade.

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: Is this a great game or what?

Impact bag snap is incredible with a narrow right wrist take away and right arm thrust-impact bag flies straight and far into the garage door with a loud "splat," repeatedly!!:happy3: We'll see at the range tomorrow when we hit a balmy 38 degrees!

....Forward press to lock the Bent Right Wrist, Right forearm takeaway and either the right forearm drive or left hip bump forward for a very nice Angle Hinge with very stationary head. At 41 degrees F. My PW was 125yards and straight with a little fade, 9 iron about 135-140, 4 iron was 180 ish as was the 3 hybrid and the drivers were carrying at about 220 or so with a slight fade in the shape or draw depending on how far back the ball was placed. :)

Thanks to LBG, and the Impact Fix, Manipulated Hands Swing, I had the best day of Swinging yesterday, actually 4 barrell I think! ;)
As Lynn shared with me years ago, I start my back swing from the tiniest Impact Fix and Start-up Swivel from THE FEELING OF LIFTING MY LEFT HEEL SLIGHTLY SO I HAVE ONLY A SLIGHT LEFT KNEE BEND. Because my left leg is shorter than my right by almost 2 inches, I start with weight left and stay there (this is for me an accommodation Impact Fix for my disability). So, I Start-up Swivel to throw my arms up and as the arms go up, I separate my left knee slightly (which I read about other famous players doing) and the club whips down under my Stationary Head with a Horizontal Hinge! :angel: Now, I have a real sense of right forearm drive after I start the left knee forward. Is that "4 Barell?" Well, if it isn't it sure works well!

At 46 degrees all shots are straight and penetrating with misses from moving causing slight fades! I can see impact with a nice light "click." PW 125-130, 9 iron between 135-140, 3 wood a penetrating 220 with roll on a hard ground bouncing at 210 and the driver rolls out a little past 230.

Thanks to Lynn's wonderful explanations of TGM, I can read any golf instruction and understand the strengths and weaknesses for me of the system, make adjustments to my physical limits, and strike the ball with confidence! Hopefully turning in scores in 3 weeks looking to get the HCP down to from 11 to a 2 this year!

:hello2: :hello2: :hello2:

Thanks LBG and Lynn!
