Of course I have only watched them four times as of now, but I am sure there is more watching time in the future. Really a lot of information and explanation of TGM, beyond the motion.
This is the second series that I think you all have reached new standard heights.
Nothing like a trip to the swamp where the cows can be heard and there is music in the air...
Great stuff. Interesting that Jeff states he's able to think mechanically while playing a round. Jeff, do you limit how many things you key on, like what keeps you in precision that day? Or do you have a checklist that you go through?

I know this may sound strange but I am totally lost without a mechanical thought. In fact I tried to play for a while only focusing on the target and I hit the ball all over the place.
Just like a computer I try to imput the information I need to hit every shot. Once the information is in I rehearse the pattern and look,look,look in order to make sure it is correct (everyone thinks I am trying to copy Weir or Dimarco but I have been making downstroke waggles for a long time). Once I am satisfied I pull the trigger.
I have found that if I only focus on the pattern that produces the shot I need, I do not worry about hazards on the course. It is all about execution. Focus on the execution during the swing, focus on the target before you swing.

I think you are on to something. . . .
All these Mental Guru's talk about Process Thinking versus Outcome Thinking . . . But then they tell you to focus on the target. Ain't that the "outcome?" I would say mechanics HAS to be the PROCESS . . . Period. I think Chapter 5 is HUGE in this regard.
Yoda,
I don't remember there being talk of any "throw" on this forum before.
Golfgnome bringing it up in the video, and both of you discussing it, has brought up some information that I wouldn't have believed unless it was someone like you discussing it.
Until now, I thought that if did a "throw" from that point in the swing, then there would be less mass at impact to give the ball a beating. Is this thought irrelevant?
Also, I would like to mention that I've been using a instrument similar to the one Tom Tomasello is using in his videos to Ideit (the one where there is a lever at the bottom that is flung out). When I made swings with it before, the little lever at the bottom fly out, feel like it stayed in that position for an instant too long, and then rotate back in. Now, with that left-arm or left-hand throw, that bottom lever flies out and then snaps right back in one continuous motion. Do you think that is what should be happening?
One last thing, exactly what is the "throwing" feeling like for you? Does it start at release? Does it feel like you are throwing with mainly your left hand? Or does it feel like you are throwing the clubhead?
Thanks again for the information. How amazing it is to log on to the forum late at night and be told that a set of LBG forum videos are on their way (and to go get my popcorn)!

There should be plenty of information on THROWS on here. There are actually several kinds. Left Wrist Throw, Right Arm Throw, Right Shoulder Throw...and others. Chapter 10-20-0

Thanks for your comments on our video, noproblemos. We appreciate them!
I am sure there are many references to the various "Throws" in my posts. Search the Archives for the Release Triggers (10-20). That is what the Throws are -- the five Release Triggers.
Of course I have only watched them four times as of now, but I am sure there is more watching time in the future. Really a lot of information and explanation of TGM, beyond the motion.

Thanks, Martee, and that appreciation extends to all others who have posted their positive comments. Jeff and I had a lot of fun doing this Series, and we are having even more fun reading what you have to say about it. Keep those posts comin'!
Now, about that 'Green Acres' experience. The Swamp is buffered on its east side by a large pasture. And even though there is a tall stand of bushes and trees bordering the two, there is no mistaking the identity of the pasture's vocal occupants (especially around thier quitting time). And there is also no mistaking our commitment to you, our valued Members: We talk G.O.L.F. it until the cows come home!
But there is more...
On The Swamp's west side, up the road aways, there is a chicken plant. And some time ago, a rooster got loose -- I didn't know there were roosters in a chicken plant -- and strayed into the apartment complex next door. And that rooster can flat tell you about it. Yes indeed he can. And not just in the morning either. We're talking a 24-hour rooster here. Please !
Between the cows and their mellow moos and the rooster's scratchy cock-a-doodle-do, trust me...
