Just got my Taly - now what?
 

Ok guys I just received the Taly I ordered following LBG's enthusuiasm for them.

I have looked at the web site and the leaflet that came with it so know what the inventor wants me to do.

Do Lynn, Ted, Jeff et al have any other recommendations for getting the most out of what appears to be a fantastic training aid?

Thank you :salut:

From an Impact Address (10-9-B) -- Weight left, heels almost touching and Left Wrist Flat (Standard Fix / 10-8-A) -- practice the Basic and Acquired Motion (without Wristcock). Swing the Hands. If the Clown's Nose (my term) moves, the Hands move. The Clubhead always remains behind the Clown's Nose and the Clubshaft always remains parallel to the extended Taly 'shaft'. The Left Wrist remains Flat from Start Up to the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position).

Look! LOOK! LOOK!!!

Most of you will set up with your feet too wide apart, your weight equally divided, your left wrist bent (little or no forward shaft lean) and your head too far back. Also, your originating Pivot Motion will be minimal or nonexistent. Therefore, absent a correct Right Arm Thrust (usually the case), your Left Arm will have little help in getting through Impact. Combined with an ingrained 'False Feel Wrist Action' (Flattening Right Wrist producing a Horizontal Motion of the Clubshaft and a total disruption of Rhythm), this assures that your Hands will Quit (3-F-7-B) and the Club will swing from your Wrists. Lots of Fat and Thin shots . . . not good.

As always, a cooperative effort with a competent professional instructor is advised.

Many thanks Yoda!

I have printed your advice out and the great news is that Paul Smith GSEB, arrives with me on Monday so I will have the best part of a week to get supervised instruction from him with it!

I purchased a half dozen of these to use with my h.s. golf team. Taly was great to work with me on a price and I think Yoda's directions would be beneficial if included with each TALY.
