You're a great Teacher Ted and you've made a very fine video application. I'll be rooting for you.

Thanks Yoda.

I hope this basic version of TGM doesn't offend all of you TGM aficionados.

I really liked it, and don't tell anyone else on this site but I liked it best

Can I ask a question? In my own swing among many of the faults I don't think there is a roll as you state with the left wrist through impact. Did I understand that correct? What happens to the wedge alignments if you don't do this?

Everyone on this site (team) has the common goal to help people learn to play G.O.L.F. So, I believe that any of us would be happy if someone was able to arrive at an idea that they previously didn't understand, no matter which video was able to do it. I really believe this to be the truth, or I wouldn't be on this site. That's not just politically correct, pageant speech.

Although my video was targeted at "Joe Schmoe" in the general population, No Roll of the Clubface is different than the No Roll Feel of Angled Hinging. If the Clubface remains square to the target (Steering, 3-F-7-A), you get The Bent Left Wrist and Clubhead Throwaway.

Here are some things that Homer said with regard to your question...

There's should be no change in the Flying Wedges:

6-B-3-0 THE THIRD POWER ACCUMULATOR
Power Accumulator #3 is formed by the angle established between the Clubshaft and the Left Forearm. Accumulator #3 should never be “Out-of-Line – instead, it seeks to MAINTAIN its radial alignment with the Left Arm and Left Wrist vertical to its associated Plane. So, basically, Accumulator #3 Hand Motion (4-D-0) is “Clubface Control,” “Rhythm Control,” and “Roll Power Control” of the Right Elbow (7-3). Study 2-G and 7-20.

6-B-3-0-1 THE FLYING WEDGES
The Clubhead may appear to move in a an arc around and outside the Hands when related to the Left Arm – the very basic Left Arm Flying Wedge. But when related to the Right Forearm, it appears to move “On Plane” with the Right Forearm, at its normal rigid angle (Bent Right Wrist) – the Right Forearm Flying Wedge. So – except in Sections 1 and 3 (Chapter 8 ) the entire Left Arm, the Clubshaft and the back of the Left Hand are ALWAYS positioned against the same flat plane – the Right Forearm and the Clubshaft are, in like manner, positioned on the plane of the Right Wrist Bend AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE LEFT ARM PLANE. That is the precision assembly and alignment of the Power Package structure and is mandatory during the entire motion. Hitting or Swinging. Study 4-D-1 regarding “Grip” and “Flat Left Wrist”. Also see 7-3. Then, ideally, the Left Wrist is always Flat and the Right Wrist is always Level (4-A-1, 4-B-1).

Great video, Ted,

What excellent translation of TGM's power accumulators to layman's terms.

Great video Ted and the post above is awesome too. So the cure for a bending left wrist is a flat, ROLLING left wrist? As in "DELIVERY LINE ROLL PREP" maybe?

Now where have I heard something like this before ................... Oh ya Yoda's Swivel video....."Why? Because thats where the Golfing Machine lives , thats why!"

Thats like finding the cure for the common cold or something.

The song remains the same but each voice brings new perspective. So true.

Which reminds me where's the fourth tenor's video? .......Jeff Hull and you guys going head to head in the final four would be awesome.

"That ball will act a whole lot differently!"

That is so cool!

It does, esp in little tournament competition, which is the only kind I have played in so far!




Ted, can I take this water bottle off my head now?
