Arch,
Children don't have preconceived ideas that are fed to them consciously or subconciously by our society...How many people who are "NON-GOLFER"S" come up to you to try and talk golf..."I'm not keeping my head down!...."I need to get under it better"... as they demonstrate a perfect vertical hinge action.....
Little kids learn to swing their plastic clubs because of what they SEE not by what they HEAR...thus ...if they SEE good golfer's they mimic those motions and alignments.....
that's why my daughter loves to watch footage on my V1 Digital Coaching System...and she cheers when she sees "TIGER" as she does in her own language that sounds more like"TIGAHR" as she clap - clap - claps....
And you bet she'll see plenty Lynn Blake's Flying Wedge's and Hinge Action...
You don't always have to teach....people can learn without being taught...Noone taught me to shoot a jumpshot and average 18.1 points per game...It was an Acquired Feel by observation of my most favorite basketball players that I had begun watching since the age of 3.
It wasn't until later studying Linear and Angular Kinematics that I learned that I had to "trigger" my release on the way up during the jump phase.... so that my release point would be at the highest point reached by my center of gravity....The Top of the jumpshot...not by waiting and triggering at the top and then resulting in releasing on the way down...
I think you got my point....Understanding comes after a skill is developed or being developed...or like with TGM it can be learned "along the way"....
But I don't think our children are quite ready for studying 2-N-O ...but can probably do a better demonstration than most...
Good Luck
