TGM is a "system" and it does have some suggested methods of going about approaching this game and thi approach tends toward a "Methodology"...I don't see what the big deal is.....TGM is at least a superior" system and "methodology" than the rest.......
Do you know ConFunkShun?
Ffun? Loves Train? Earth Wind & Fire style? Doin' the Smurf?
I know some of you old bastardz gotta remember? Nope. . .
Then you surely know about the Three Functions
We're finishing up our Star System Traid discussion. To review it's the Three Imperatives (1. Flat Left Wrist 2. Clubhead Lag Pressure Point 3. Straight Plane Line). And they are IMPERATIVE to . . . The Line of Compression right? Holla!!!!
Now for the Three Functions . . . ConFunkShun Function what's your function? Skool House Rock . . . We hookin' up nouns and phrases and bustin' up PLANE LINES.
The Three FunkShunz by the GrandFonkDaddy Mr. Kelley (not R Kelly) are in 1-L The Machine Concept
This Machine has three functions – to control A) the Clubshaft, B) the Clubhead and C) the Clubface. All other elements of the Golf Stroke design are concerned with the facilitating and implementing of these three activities. But if any of these other elements are unintentionally omitted (Zeroed) or altered (different Variation), the Feel changes and the Stroke becomes “ungrooved” and confusion sets in. See 2-M-2 and 7-23.
A. The Inclined Plane is Clubshaft Control – See 2-F and 4-0
B. The Pressure Points are Clubhead Control – See 2-K and 4-0
C. The Left Wrist is Clubface Control – See 2-G and 4-0
That that we KNOW the Three Functions shall we study them Separately? What do you think????

I'm sorry but I must discontinue following this thread. It is making things too clear therefore can not possible work.
I know the stupid, careless mistakes I make on the course. Chiefly, refusing to do things the simple way and secondly, if something is working immediately issuing a stop and desist order to my brain.
LOL, just kidding - please continue as you are doing an excellent job.
Ah yes! SHAFT . . . Richard Roundtree whoopin' asses. Isaac Hayes being a pimp.
I dig the chick with the belly chain. Hey baby! Want some fries with that shake?
But that ain't the Shaft we're talking about. We're talking about the First Function - ClubSHAFT control. And we all know the importance of precision control of your shaft . . . or I bet ole Isaac Hayes does.
Let's review the 3 Functions so y'all don't forget. Remember we're talking Star System Triad (3 Imperatives, 3 Functions, 3 Stations). 3 is the magic number bet Isaac knew a lil' something about that too. Anyway . . . the Three Stations are
A. The Inclined Plane is Clubshaft Control – See 2-F and 4-0
B. The Pressure Points are Clubhead Control – See 2-K and 4-0
C. The Left Wrist is Clubface Control
So since we're talking about our SHAFTS let's look at 4-0 and 2-F to further shed light upon this discussion . . .
2-F PLANE OF MOTION All the action of the Golf Club takes place on a flat, inflexible, Inclined Plane which extends well beyond the circumference of the stroke – in every direction. The full length fo the Clubshaft remains unwaveringly on the face of this Inclined Plane – Waggle to Follow-through. Every other Component of the Stroke must be adjusted to comply with that requirement. See Sketch 1-L. That includes the Right Forearm. See 5-0. The player must hold the Forearm in the Feel of the same plane per 7-3, dynamically in-line. Picture the javelin thrower with the right elbow and On Plane right forearm leading the hand toward the target (Delivery Line) all during Delivery. See 6-B-1. The Right Forearm of every Hacker comes into Impact too high – pointing beyond the Delivery Line during Downstroke (2-J-3, 7-3). Study 2-G and Components 5, 6, and 7.
Regardless of where the Clubshaft and Clubhead are joined together, it always feels as if they are joined at the Sweet Spot – the longitudinal center of gravity, the line of the pull of Centrifugal Force. So there is a “Clubshaft” Plane and a “Sweet Spot,” or “Swing”, Plane. But herein, unless otherwise noted, “Plane Angle” and “Plane Line” always refer to the Center of Gravity application. Study 2-N. Expect during Impact, the Clubshaft can travel on, or to- and – from, either Plane because the Clubshaft rotation must be around the Sweet Spot – not vice versa. So Clubhead “Feel” is Clubhead Lag Pressure (6-C) and is a Golfing Imperative. (2-0). If Lag Pressure is lost the Hands tend to start the hosel (instead of the Sweet Spot) toward Impact – that mysterious “Shank.” When in doubt, “Turn” the Clubface so both the Clubshaft and Sweet Spot will be on the same plane at Start Down. Both Planes always pass through the Lag Pressure Point. Study 6-C-2-A.
There are some very simple but very accurate checks for being “On Plane.” Whenever the Clubshaft is parallel to the ground it must also be parallel to the base line of the Inclined Plane which is usually (but not always) the Line of Flight also.
Otherwise, the end of the Club that is closest to the ground must be pointing at the base line of the Inclined Plane – or extensions of that line, even if they must be extended to the horizon.
But precision is lost unless Start Up is Three Dimensional parallel to the Three Dimensional Impact, i.e. the Clubhead moves Backward, Upward, and Inward – On Plane – INSTANTLY AND SIMILTANEOUSLY. See 3-F-5.
2-F is HUGE BOYZ!!!!! There is an absolute deluge of information and concepts in 2-F. So we'll further break it down when you rid yourself of the Ice Cream Headache . . .
Speaking of Ice Cream . . . Anybody know about Ice Cream Castles? CLASSIC. 777-9311 almost as good as 867-5309. Jessie!!! Now Jerome!!! YEAAAAAAS!!!!

But that ain't the Shaft we're talking about. We're talking about the First Function - ClubSHAFT control. And we all know the importance of precision control of your shaft . . .
I looked up method in Chambers dictionary, it concludes -AN INSTRUCTION BOOK SYSTEMATICALLY ARRANGED-the prosecution rests its case! By the way ,I also looked up insane.
Ok. I think it is a little easier to breakdown some of Old Yeller if you attack it in outline format.
STAR SYSTEM TRIAD
I. 3 Imperatives
A. Flat Left Wrist
B. Clubhead Lag Pressure Point
C. Straight Plane Line
II. 3 Functions Controlling:
A. Clubshaft
B. Clubhead
C. Clubface
III. 3 Station Total Motion
A. Address
B. Top
C. Finish
We are examining the First of the 3 Functions at this Point - Controlling the ClubSHAFT
THE INCLINED PLANE IS CLUBSHAFT CONTROL – See 2-F and 4-0
I. 2-F PLANE OF MOTION
A. All the action of the Golf Club takes place on a flat, inflexible, Inclined Plane which extends well beyond the circumference of the stroke – in every direction.
B. The full length fo the Clubshaft remains unwaveringly on the face of this Inclined Plane – Waggle to Follow-through. Every other Component of the Stroke must be adjusted to comply with that requirement. See Sketch 1-L.
1. That includes the Right Forearm.
a. See 5-0. That is – until the Hands no longer consciously Monitor the Clubhead or the Body – only themselves, and automatically dictate total Component compliance with Delivery Path (6-E) and Delivery Line (2-J-3) requirements (7-23). Both are Monitored by the Hands but the Delivery Lines, in addition, must be “Traced” by the Right Forearm. For the ARC of Approach Delivery Line that relationship is with true geometric Plane Line, itself. The Plane Line – being the Basic – can substitute any of its “Visual Equivalents” at any time. In either or both directions. Because the Right Forearm and Clubshaft are on the same Plane during Release and Impact (7-3), players actually Monitor the Clubhead Delivery Line by “Tracing” along it with the Right Forearm with the #3 Pressure Point as the lens causing its beam to move along the Reference Line. Study 2-N and 4-D.
2. The player must hold the Forearm in the Feel of the same plane per 7-3, dynamically in-line.
a. Picture the javelin thrower with the right elbow and On Plane right forearm leading the hand toward the target (Delivery Line) all during Delivery. See 6-B-1.
3. The Right Forearm of every Hacker comes into Impact too high – pointing beyond the Delivery Line during Downstroke (2-J-3, 7-3). Study 2-G and Components 5, 6, and 7.
a. The Elbow must always be someplace and as there are only three defineable locations there are three Major Basic Strokes – Punch, Pitch, and Push (10-3).
1. For Hitting (10-19-A), the Right Forearm should be precisely in-line with – and directly opposed to – the motion of the On Plane Loading Action (7-22) of the entire Primary Lever Assembly (6-A) not just the Clubshaft, and this alignment is maintained through Impact (2-J-3, 4-D).
2. For Swinging (10-19-C) the Right Forearm should be precisely in-line with – and directly opposed to – the motion of the On Plane Loading of the Secondary Lever Assembly (the Clubshaft) and this alignment maintained through Impact.
a. With this “in-line” relationship of Loading and Right Forearm, it is absolutely MANDATORY that, Hitting or Swinging, it is the Right Forearm – not just the Right Hand and/or Clubshaft – that must be thrown, or driven, into Impact per 7-2-3. And study 7-11.
b. ALWAYS, for all procedures, the Right Forearm is positioned “On Plane” – pointing at the Plane Line as the Angle of Attack (2-N).
1. The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must take throughout the Stroke (2-J-3).
2. The “Angle of Approach” position of the Right Forearm shows the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact
3. It, thereby, precisely locates the visual Impact Point – where the eye must direct the Pressure Point #3 – the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball.
c. So the Right Forearm must leave – and precisely return to – its own Fix Position (7- “Angle of Approach” (regardless of the true Clubhead Angle of Approach) because both procedures will produce identical Clubhead Delivery Lines.
Tired I'll finish later . . . .
Regardless of where the Clubshaft and Clubhead are joined together, it always feels as if they are joined at the Sweet Spot – the longitudinal center of gravity, the line of the pull of Centrifugal Force. So there is a “Clubshaft” Plane and a “Sweet Spot,” or “Swing”, Plane. But herein, unless otherwise noted, “Plane Angle” and “Plane Line” always refer to the Center of Gravity application. Study 2-N. Expect during Impact, the Clubshaft can travel on, or to- and – from, either Plane because the Clubshaft rotation must be around the Sweet Spot – not vice versa. So Clubhead “Feel” is Clubhead Lag Pressure (6-C) and is a Golfing Imperative. (2-0). If Lag Pressure is lost the Hands tend to start the hosel (instead of the Sweet Spot) toward Impact – that mysterious “Shank.” When in doubt, “Turn” the Clubface so both the Clubshaft and Sweet Spot will be on the same plane at Start Down. Both Planes always pass through the Lag Pressure Point. Study 6-C-2-A.
There are some very simple but very accurate checks for being “On Plane.” Whenever the Clubshaft is parallel to the ground it must also be parallel to the base line of the Inclined Plane which is usually (but not always) the Line of Flight also.
Otherwise, the end of the Club that is closest to the ground must be pointing at the base line of the Inclined Plane – or extensions of that line, even if they must be extended to the horizon.
But precision is lost unless Start Up is Three Dimensional parallel to the Three Dimensional Impact, i.e. the Clubhead moves Backward, Upward, and Inward – On Plane – INSTANTLY AND SIMILTANEOUSLY. See 3-F-5.
Speaking of Ice Cream . . . Anybody know about Ice Cream Castles? CLASSIC. 777-9311 almost as good as 867-5309. Jessie!!! Now Jerome!!! YEAAAAAAS!!!!
Do I remember Ice Cream Castles? Who doesn't! Please continue your discussion of the star triad system for as Mr. Day says in the album "this dance ain't for everybody, baby. Just the pretty people."
