driver problems
 

When hitting driver do you still use down, out, and forward motion? I have only been working with TGM a short time and making some progress, but not with my drives. Any ideas or references to the yellow book that are apt. Thanks in advance.

It is the only way to be three dimensionally correct.:smile:

Downswing illusion
 

Longer stick = flatter plane : Down, out and forward illusion is coming more (most) inside out.

I am not clear about the illusion comment. Are you disagreeing with the down, out, and forward move?:)

NO
But with the driver being longer, the plane will be flatter, so you'll have to come more from the inside than with a short-iron. Or the 2 dimentional look of it is the clubhead is coming into impact "more from the inside".
Hope this is making more sense to you.

Some food for thought...

Is it really the longer club that changes the plane flatter.....

OR...

Is it the wider stance that 'defines' the flatter motion

From the anatomy point of view, that is.

I think coming from farther inside does clear it up. Tak!

my vote is for the stance....

Enlighten us Ed
 

OK - I never thought of that.

My take is that with the hands in the same place, the longer club resting on the ground will naturally "lie" on a flatter plane.

Your suggestion that we swing on a flatter plane due to the wider stance, is that because the wider stance forces us to swing more around the body=restricts the up-motion??? Or something else? please tell us more.

PS We might want to take this to another thread.
