Instant Power Move - AJ Bonar?

[Jim.Cook]

Here's a video from Golf Magazine featuring A.J. Bonar and his "Magic Move." His "Home Run" Flat Left Wrist Roll through Impact -- TGM's Horizontal Hinge Action -- has been standard fare for good-playing Swingers for centuries, but most golfers don't do it. Instead, they attempt to keep the Clubface Square to the Target -- Steering, the first Snare (3-F-7-A) -- and therefore can benefit greatly from this advice. The same is true of the advice to strike Downward through Impact -- standard stuff, but most golfers don't do it. Instead, they attempt to Scoop the Upward into the air.

Probably the most controversial part of his method is the use of the Double Wristcock (Cocked and Bent Left Wrist) at the Top. No doubt the move could be helpful for some (especially Hookers) and disastrous for others (especially Slicers). It is the same move Ben Hogan described as his 'anti-hook' "secret" in a Life magazine article way back in 1955. Having recently visited with A.J. in Carlsbad, California, I can tell you that the 'cupped' Wrist is minimal in his own Stroke.

If I understand it correctly, A.J.'s Magic Move is his interpetitation of the application of the third power accumulator (6-B-3-0). And is illustrated in photos 6-B-3-0#1 and #2.

But his first comment of cupping would wipe out all my progress since I attended your conference at St Augustine. My understanding of where the plane is, keeping the club on that plane and keeping a FLW is absolutely essential to my very straight although not tremendiously long shots.

Perhaps the implementation of the third accumulator is my next direction of study . Comment on my ramblings, not my spelling???

Before I learned more about TGM, I purchased AJ Bonars stuff. All of his DVDs focus on the same stuff he put in the article, essentially horizontal hinging is the key and drive down. Your time and energy is much better spent here learning all the facts rather than a part of the facts as seen by AJ.

I have steered folks away from his stuff ever since........steered most here and all that have made the journey here have been satisfied...
