Thank you Yoda & Co for a great video

Seeing and hearing you applying the TGM stuff in context vas very valuable.

It's one of the best golf instruction video I've ever seen. For me personally it may even be the most valuable one.

I think this video series could serve as a good program for trimming the stroke before next season - for swingers. Watching chapter 1, take it to the range, rewatch ch 1, evaluate, watch ch 2, do second range session with ch1 repetition and then ch2 main part. Etc. 3-4 times a week in 3-4 weeks, and the swing should be back in great shape - and executed by an uncluttered mind.

Thanks to all on the LBG team for bringing this out to us.

Thanks for putting up another great video. I have watched them a few times. I've watched #1 more times and the guy listening intensely in the background caught my eye. I have no idea what he is thinking - might this be it? :)

Ummm....

Can someone help me out?!!?!? How do I see the vid?

Thanks!

Thanks Metallion!!!!

Metallion....Look at that guys lag. Flat left wrist and bent right. He could turn an 8 iron into a 3 with that forward lean. :)

I think he is rediscovering topspin. :)

He (the bystander) is actually not trying to hit a ball. He - for some reason - does that move after missing a ball completely. It is not his swing. Seems he is listening to what Lynn sais and tries to make something of it. Maybe he heard Lynn say "forward leaning shaft" earlier on. :D

Instead, the problem is an exaggerated Axis Tilt during the Start Down and Downstroke. He achieves this over-tilting of his spine (back and away from the Ball) by dropping his Right Shoulder severely Under Plane. This misalignment, in turn, is achieved by allowing his Head to drop back and down -- he Sways and he Bobs. The result is obvious: He continually hits 'up' on the Ball -- Scooping -- all the while doing a yeoman's job of maintaining a Flat Left Wrist.

In fact, he apparently has absolutely no sense of the correct Three-Dimensional Impact Geometry (Down, Out and Forward), much less how to achieve it. Thus, the cure is not more work on the Flat Left Wrist, but on teaching him (1) how the Body Pivot works in the correct Start Down; (2) how his Head should be positioned at Address; and (3) how to maintain that Head Position from Address to the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position).

In other words, this student has Pivot and Stationary Head problems (Zone #1), not a Flat Left Wrist problem (Zones #2 and #3), and they must be treated accordingly.

Other posts on "creating or achieving" axis tilt made me curious about why it is not a component. My search led to 2-H: "On Plane Right Shoulder Motion is possible only by tilting the axis-the spine. See 7-14." I am "in neutral" with the mysterious hips awaiting the additional video. Hopefully it contains instruction relative to the axis tilt deficiency.

Regarding the required Axis Tilt, it is accomplished by the Hip Slide while maintaining a Stationary Head. This Hip Motion causes the Right Shoulder to remain On Plane during the Downstroke (from the Top through the end of the Follow-Through).

Have just finished watching this series of clips (while home fighting an upper respiratory infection). What a treasure!! My sincerest thanks to all involved!
