2 Sides of a Coin?

[okie]

When you ask yourself after hoisting the Claret Jug "Is this all there is?" you have a personal crisis on your hands.

Out of Georgia Tech DD was a fearless competitor...ruthless even. My guess is that he read something...heard something...that got him thinking about the "ultimate concerns" compared to which golf is relegated to a non-issue of inconsequential irrelevance! Tough to get fired up when you are the pensive, brooding type. Once he intergrates his life and finds a workable slot for tour golf I think he will surge back. Of course, he may turn to the solitude of snowboarding and writing in his journal.

It is possible, some part of him, no matter how small, wanted to see if he could enjoy life while shooting 85. His problems with vertigo certainly didn't help anything and he said once he had the health problems (and back problems) he started to make compensations and pretty soon could no longer find the golf swing that brought him all the glory.

At his prime, I think DD had one of the best swings in the history of the game, not a swing built on power and compensations. It isn't as though he's this marvelous compensator now when he doesn't have it.

I agree, Duval had a marvelous swing. At one time he was the longest, straightest driver of the golf ball in professional golf. I don't think you get to that level of enlightenment with a golf swing built on compensations. His swing satisfied all of the imperatives and the essentials. So, I really do not understand the lack of respect for his swing.

Thank you glcoach!!!

If there's compensations in DD's move. . . somebody please describe them to me and my man glcoach.

Let's talk about this . . .

Don't all swings have compensations? One single Golfer using Chipping, Pitching, Punching and Full Swings can have different compensations for each and may vary from Basic to Total Motion. It's useful to study all lengths of shots. A well compensated swing is a great achievement however so slight. A well compensated swing has repeatable results.

One of the differences that separate TGM from other wannabe systems is that you can vary power by adding accumulators and get even further refinement by varying the amount of accumulator. That means that you can add power without adding any more compensations or changing the ones you already have. TGM ROCKS.

I couldn’t find David’s name among our Roster of members. Hmm? Maybe he’s using a different name.

Loading at Start-up is compensation. Any component adjustment that disturbs the "Magic of the Right Forearm" is compensation. And that's just a start. Minor? Maybe. Personal preferences? Maybe.

You asked. I gave it to ya.

Uhhh . . .what exactly did you give to me??? Do I need to get a shot or something?

I offered you another perspective on Component compensations.

It's a Glass "half empty" or "half full" kinda thing. Compensations aren't always a bad thing. We all need them. Compensations are bad when you use one mistake to correct another.
