Thank you, Golfbulldog. Let's go one step further and put up Exercises #3 and #4. These constitute a pure TGM Pivot.
Note the Centered Head in #3.
Note the Centered and Turned Head in #4.
Note the Flat Backstroke Hip and Shoulder Turns in #4 and especially the absence of Backstroke Shoulder Turn "pie" (inclination of the back from the vertical).
This is the Pivot I teach and have taught since 1982, regardless of misrepresentations to the contrary.
Per Homer Kelley:
1-L-#1 "The Stationary Post (Player's Head) accurately returns the Clubhead to the Ball."
1-L-#2 "The Post may turn (Pivot) but it does not Sway or Bob."
will do it tonight - will try to get better pics this time - or mayb "putfile" is losing some details in the download... i can read the print in the priginal photos...

I owe a tremendous debt to my personal teacher, Paul Bertholy. In addition to his several Training Programs, he instilled many verbal nuggets that, to this day, I pass down to my own students. Most especially, I demand that they repeat out loud certain words and phrases during lessons, as did he.
"When missing a shot never scold yourself, but punish yourself with a conditioning program pertinent to the correction of the fault."
Personally, I say, "Punish yourself with a conditioning drill."
For example, today I was working with Sean Elliott, New Jersey State Junior Champion and long-time student of Bill Castner, Master PGA Professional. The ball went left.
"What was the problem, Sean?"
"Plane?"
"I agree. What is your punishment?"
"Start Down Waggles?"
"You got it. From the Top, gimme two or three. And when you're done, take the motion through the Downstroke and Release. And from there, through Impact and Follow-Through. Finally, take the entire On Line Motion to the Finish. Can you do that for me?"
No answer.
Just the prescribed motions.
And then the CRACK!!! of perfect compression and a ball sent screaming toward the target.
This is when Mr. Pennick would say...
"Sean, I hope that made you as happy as it did me."

Ahh Start Down waggles.....I still 'punish' myself by doing them all the time. Its usually takes about a couple of pracitce swings and bang everything falls back into place again. I just need to remind myself to do it all the time though.
How are Sean and Bill doing with their GOLF Strokes nowadays?

My favorite post to date, this is just plain awesome!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
