    twist away and 6B 1D

    Brian/Lynn - would you agree that the combination of these concepts (using 10-2-B) is a powerful one?

    Homer Kelley Memorial TournamentTour?

    So when, where, and how long until this takes place? How about forgeting about the pga and starting up a TGM "world tour"? Teach the execs to play, and you'll have the sponsors, teach the viewers to play and you'll have the audience ;)

    Thanks for the reminder Lynn...

    I was reading a post of yours on Chuck's site re: grip overlap - the Vardon overlap vs. the Hogan overlap - I'd say that the Vardon overlap 'defines' 10-2-B in a way - solidifies the geometry of it quite nicely. Thanks for pointing out this detail, certainly helps you feel the wedge(s)...

    Drills for hands control pivot

    I've been fighting too much leg drive for years, thanks to Hogan's book/elastic image years ago. What are some of the best drills for getting a better balance between hands control and pivot control? I feel a fairly weak arms only type move when I try strick hands control and I know that is...

    Search for the Perfect Swing

    Came up in another thread. I'd like to know more about Lynn's post: ------------ holenone For the record, 1968 would be the year before TGM's 1969 publication. Also for the record, Search For The Perfect Swing is chock full of errors -- not to mention omissions -- fifty of which Homer Kelley...

    Tigers current swing

    Looks like Tiger is getting things back 'on track' compared to earlier this season. What do you think of his current motion?

    Uses of the Medicus

    For those of you who don't like the medicus, try using it to INTENTIONALLY BREAK it by driving DOWN. A very good way to feel down. Without a ball, practice a chipping motion, breaking the hinge at impact with the ground and taking the motion to both arms straight, keeping the feel of the...

    on course alignment tricks?

    perhaps the most annoying fault is improper alignment. I find that the instant I lose focus at all out on the course I slip back into aiming too far right, ball position gets too back. I like the 'line of scrimmage' approach to preventing this very much. Any other suggestions for on course...

    A question of width? 6B 1D

    I'm curious to hear people's views on width. If you had to pick one, is maintaining width/extensor action more important on the backswing, or downswing? Would you ever consider it a 'good thing' to get narrow on the backswing and wider on the through swing? (as opposed to wide to narrow)

    The Line of Compression

    In talking about applying FORCE in the swing, and where that force is directed, it is important to keep in mind the goal - sustaining the line of compression. With that in mind, I'd like to hear how people view the line of compression. In a nutshell - drive the nail through that ball And so I...

    summing up TGM

    I came across an old post of mine on FGI that I thought people here might enjoy. The original post was re: Ben's video. In a word: lag In two words: lag pressure In three words: lag pressure points in four words: the line of compression in five words: sustain the line of compression

    EDZ's own version of 2-K

    These are the most important parts of my position that have yet to be countered by ANYONE, including Brian: -------------------------------------------- Perhaps if I put this in TGM specific terms some of you will better understand my position: 1) 2K is incorrect in ONE VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL -...

    McCord

    Just wondering what folks thought of McCord's Playing Lessons From the Pro's. I thought he did a great job, some real gems, down to the basics in a thoughtful way. His swing is pure TGM (call it Morad or not), from what I can see. Seems like the type of motion that Homer was trying to convey...

    Alex Morrison

    I'd like to hear what people think of Alex Morrion's approach (especially Holenone). Does anyone have a listing of the components he uses? It seems to me that while TGM does a fairly complete job of discussion of physics and geometry, it doesn't address anatomy as much as I would have hoped...

    Tiger's swing

    I was just watching Phil and Tiger, and Tiger's swing is looking much better. Hands in a much better position than earlier this season. He seems a bit 'stiff' though. Like he is steering a bit. What do you guys think of his swing? I see less Haney than before, looks back on the right track.

    Rob Atkins on TGC

    Brian, just wondering what your thoughts were about Atkins on TGC? I would have much rather seen you get the mike. I wasn't impressed with Atkins. Steve Brady did a very solid show though. Pretty nice motion from what I saw aside from some slack in the hands. I'd recommend folks watch...

    "How to Kill the Ball"

    Anyone on the board see this DVD yet? Claims to be Mike Austin, but from what I see, looks like a low budget attempt to cash in on the ideas of others. Nothing I haven't seen on this site or FGI. There is some good info, but I really have to wonder if Austin supported this DVD, and where they...

    The sound of impact

    I was working this weekend on more of a hitter's motion, having always been a swinger, and discovered that when hitting my impact had a different sound. Swinging, it is the sound of a stone/turf/sizzle. Hitting, it was more of a gun shot sound. A bit like a 22 rifle. Hard to miss the...

    The Three Imperatives or only Two?

    Lag Flat lead wrist at impact straight plane line The question I have, is that if you really have lag, if you really have lag pressure, why bother listing the flat lead wrist? Is there any condition in which you can have lag and lag pressure, but NOT have a flat lead wrist? I think you could...
