I have a list of problems, though I enjoy the listening to TT teach.

The right arm swing, which I never heard TT say, but, the stroke in Chapter Two is closer to a Hit stroke- IMHO. He stops at the End instead of the Top. He repeats Hit Down on the ball- Hit Down on the ball. No CF like the True Swing Stroke in Chapter Two that uses CF to throw out the club- the Law of the Flail. A beautiful stroke, btw. The Hit stroke in chapter nine is, as TT says, a Punch shot ("kick right and lose yardage.")- not the Hit Stroke Lynn Blake teaches. TT knew as much about the Hit Stroke as anyone of his time, or even up to 2003 -- very little, a punch shot at best. TT doesn't fully cock the left wrist, sometimes a zero out of acc2 in his Hit Stroke. If that punch shot was low and left, why not change alignments at impact fix and address? The Hit Stroke was not what TT wanted you to do.

Homer loved the Hit Stroke. He thought the Hit Stroke would CHANGE THE GAME. It certainly Changed Ted Fort's Game.

I am not criticizing TT’s Hitting procedure- it was what that stroke was thought to be, I believe. But I do feel that his right arm swing, is closer to a Hit stroke with HH action which would explain why the other Hit procedure is a punch shot.

Actually Comdpa said it clearly to me and it took me a while to understand this.

Tom is just teaching 7-3.. Swinging ..even in letter 2... (pls see my last post where he is quoted.) and in his short strokes .. performing mini push basic stroke ( his version).

Don't get caught up with terms, literally, for example .. DRAG does not mean literally dragging . Hit does not mean literally Hitting.

Must study everything in context ... and must try to understand what the AI and Homer Kelly trying to tell you instead taking word literally...

I finally could appreciate more of what Justin told me at one stage where i am super dooper confused " Who cares what its called, as long as you know how to do it and do it correctly".. Wise word from a "young" man.
