For example, when I asked him about the wrists and lag, how it was created and held....his response was "well what do you mean, they just do it."
This brought a smile to me. I was in that AI class with Tom in Atlanta - the same class (February 2004) that Yoda made his reentry into the ring, and what a re-entry it was! Interestingly, there was also a very very good player who played on the mini tours, was short, pounded it and basically had it all. He was pretty good friends with Davis Love and Freddy.
At any rate, during one of our discussions, he mentioned that he had no idea what he did (to an extent - he had some ideas but wasnt entirely positive), only that he knew how to do it. In otherwards, he 'just did it'. For some it is that easy (think back to throwing a baseball, how you 'just do it'). For others, no matter how athletic, it isnt that easy. Which makes TGM instructors all that more important because they know how it's done!
Good luck with Tom and keep us posted on your progress.
