OK, I have uploaded more swing videos. Am I on the right track with the hip movements?

Yes in a way. The Left Wrist ideally cocks and uncocks on plane. Its range of motion goes from Fully cocked to fully uncocked. This is a major source of power for the Swinger, the so called Power Accumulator #2 with its associated Pressure Point #2. Most every good golfer makes contact with Left Wrist in a Level position but on its way to Fully Uncocked.........there a little mustard saved for the ball. Most every good golfer makes contact with the Right Arm on the Plane of the clubshaft. And so Homer reasoned it would be easier , more efficient to simply start from a similar position at Address. The left wrist level, the right arm on the same plane as the shaft. Research "the Flying Wedges".

TGM is a catalogue of swing components, trillions of them, there is no one way thought Homer but if there is a tell tale sign of a TGM practitioner this "ARm Set" at Address would be it.

It is awkward at first, with Lynns guidance it took me a few hours before I stopped reverting to low hands. But when you get it, it'll make a difference. The secret to setting the Left Wrist at Level is to adjust it with the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.

Its not a common look at Address , its awkward at first but Hogan , Knudson , Moe Norman and others did it. Ill never go back. In the course of a lesson with Lynn he'll touch on this early , maybe even first thing.

The Flying Wedges are structure plane and simple. Like a wall stands at 90 degrees to a floor in the ideal. The Right Forearm Flying Wedge whether you're Hitting or Swinging is a mechanical alignment that will obliterate the ball. Interestingly , if you grab a club try to bend the shaft with the head buried in the ground ............you will naturally adopt this alignment in your effort. Like the wall being at right angles to the floor , its just the way things are. Its not a golf law its a universal law.

MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT!!!! Look at how much more stretch out your right leg is . . . look at your head . . . how much more axis tilt you have . . . beautiful . . . look how much better your foot work is . . .

YOU GOT SOME TALENT!!! Do it more . . . just make sure that your head doesn't start moving back to make the move . . . do it by your hips going forward up and turning . . . VERY NICE!!!

This was the second to the last swing I think . . . you kinda faked it on the last one . . . but this one was sweet!

Check the foot work here . . . sooooooo much better . . . exit still beautiful right on plane. Really like it!

Is my head OK at the moment? You noticed in the last couple of swings that the extension of my legs/hips was not as good as in the first few swings. At the moment I just feel like I am pushing/springing up with my legs. Is there anything else that could help?

Dang dude thats some good stuff there.

Hard to play bad golf with a swing like that.

Well, that's nice of you to say, thank you. Unfortunately, I am still struggling with cutting across the ball (i.e. out-to-in path with divots pointing left of the target line). I can't even get my divots pointing straight with pitch shots and half wedges, so what chance do I have with the full swing? It's frustrating.

No dude you are doing great . . . Just monitor it so you continue to build it into your motion. Keep video going. You just need to know what to look for. Ball flight will tell you largely as well.

BC85,
May be the camera angles but I think you are getting "FLATTER" at top.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread. I honestly appreciated every post. However, I have decided to start taking instruction from Paul Hart (my first lesson was today) due to the confusion and frustration associated with trying to troubleshoot issues over the internet. If you guys are interested, I'll continue to post updates on my progress.
