I guess the TGM standard is work on basic motion, get it right, then move to acquired, then to full.
The thing is I have seen a lot of people who have pretty nice swings when using acquired motion, but get to the full swing and the top of the backswing is where it all falls apart.
How do you go about fixing a problem that appears between acquired motion and the full swing, indeed how do we go about imbedding any changes. Do you guys use things like the 32 ball drill, or just hitting shots working on changes, then see them flow into the competition swing down the track?
I have a couple of things I know I need to fix, and when thinking about them and working on them I can get it right, but I can not make this flow into my swing as a habit.

I would do it at least 1000 times, starting with a vertical pivot and then progressively bending it over, without hitting a golf ball.

"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
More than likely caused by a faulty pivot/non stationary head which is caused by not putting the "mind in the hands". Educate the hands for the proper RFT.
Get two flashlights taped together end to end with duct tape. Lay two dowels on the ground end to end. Setup square to dowels set the flashlights as "lashed to the right forearm" and start tracing, tracing and keep tracing.
A difficulty in teaching TGM is that young pupils want to hit full shots ASAP. They want to get right to it without the foundation.
Learning tracing, basic,acquired motion and lag is the gateway!
I am sure you know how to practise. What I suspect is that you have as little as one quarter of one degree of steering that causes a small amount of quitting that you not aware of.
That is enough to throw you off the scent.
With zero steering - rhythm returns. When you know your true rhythm you know everything

You hit a bullseye on this one...Dart! Is this why clubface control (hinge action) seems to be the toughest imperative to understand and implement? I feel sick to my stomach when I know I have steered the ball, even if it is a mini-steer. I have been mistaken for a sullen brat at times when I hit a short iron to 10 feet and turn away in disgust. My hands tell me I was not fully committed to it! Tracing has helped a great deal, but at the end of the day club face control is a seperate identity. Interestingly the brilliance of basic motion resurfaces in that it is the only way I know how to work on hinge action with any meaningful feedback. I have to say that I have a new appreciation for an on plane...driven...rotating sweetspot! Does The Dart have any suggestions on how to curb the human tendency of being a chicken !T! No offense Bucket!
Sorry Toolish, but if you get Rhythm it will cut your practice time down.
Apart from doing exactly what Homer said in 200 pages - which you will have to do anyway for full benefit, this is a drill you can use on pupils who can take some hard work. Most of course have to be taken slowly - improving each day.
Overdo the hell out of rotation into the finish including, spine, UPPER arm, forearm and the shaft to insure FLW.
Approaching their best swing from the other side of the world from Steering is fast and effective because it is very hard to fight the natural swing forces (NSF)form that side. Any one can fight the NSF towards Steering towards the target, just kill it off at impact by easing up a little instead of balancing out the heavy release forces.
Because this is a different form of steering there is excess tension which the body will shed as it seeks its desire for efficiency. It does not like wasting strength.
When the ball, usually teed up with a 7 iron, hooks about 40 yds. slip in the preconditioned active right forearm tracing and fanning and trigger delay, now they will work.
If pupil stresses, retreat to eyes closed (educated hands).
If pupil exhilarates, finish on a win to really over acknowledge his success and fix it in his soul, computer.
His rhythm will vary hitting and swinging even from r/sweep to snap.
The main thing about rhythm is it give the body and mind a drum beat to march to that makes it a pleasure for all components to work at the same RPM's.
