Great stuff Patrick,
Yup, I am thrusting, but I am finding more success with focus on pp#1 presently. If I get a chance to actually grab some range balls at practice today I will put some time into #3 with a PBS.
I hit a couple bad chips last Sat., but I had not put the left wrist in the neutral position. SHANK. Neutral does it.

No lesson, just a Mother's Day dinner conversation with John and Jean.

When I learned the importance of the plane line, I shot some 85's-87's. Since I have been taking a lesson a week, my scores have gone as high as 97! Because TGM is not a gimmick and is based on actual body mechanics, changing one thing changes quite a lot!

TGM students might need some time to replace bad habits with good habits and then time to reflect on the logical conclusions of their new good habits while practicing. That happens to me a lot. For example, once I saw how simple and powerful the sternum centered flying wedge position is, I had to experiment with turning the hip back, belly button back, pushing the shoulder back or matching the sternum to the RFT. I realized in casual conversation with John after dinner, that I move my ball position for every club. That prompted John to ask why. My answer was that I read that I should do that in an old Gary Player comic book or Jack Nicklaus comic. And that led to a discussion of impact fix as a secondary aiming point, and plane line as primary aim point. John said he believes that my ball position might actually need to be pushed back another inch. Anyway, there will be a whole series of experiments that must follow that observation.
