Yoda,

Your welcome.

It is an interesting topic isn't it? Should you try to study the best players
in the world to find the combinations that are actually working on the
highest level, or should you dismiss them because they are human beings, not
machines, and are always flawed.

I am not saying that one direction is more correct, just that when a player
is standing in front of me wanting to take there game as far as possible, how
should I attack? From the it has to be perfect perspective or it has to work.


As an example, there are players I work with that are much more effective
slightly laid off, others that are more effective slightly across the line,
both line up perfectly approaching the ball. If it works consistently, just
do it.

This is not a criticism of TGM, in fact, learning the many variations was
very enlightening for me. However, I think it is easy to become fixated on a
specific combination as a teacher, ie. flat left wrist at the top, when it
may not be the best solution for the student standing in front of you.

I guess my point is that what I learn constantly from tour players is that
the compensations must be understood and managed, but are sometimes a
neccessity for that particular player. While the swing may not be ideal in a
labroratory setting, it is how it works under the gun that is critical to me.

We are in 100 per cent agreement. I can even hear Homer Kelley saying,
"Kee-rect!"
