    It has been six weeks or so since I have started working with john, and becoming aquainted with TGM. while I cannot say everything is cured, there is progress. Homer suggest starting small and working your way up, essentially working from green to tee. as of now my chipping technique is spot...

    head shift

    Looking at tape my head shifts from address position about 6 inches forward so would this be a correct assumption; by allowing the head to shift forward six inches then it is as I am basically playing the ball six inches further back in my stance?

    flipping

    I am having trouble flipping and I am having a hard time figguring out what is causing it. I have been looking at video and from what I can tell my elbow plane loops, my right elbow goes above the plane on the backswing and in the transition drops below it, then returns to the set up plane...

    downswing sequence

    to the best of my knowledge the downswing starts with a shift to the left side, then the hips unwind to about 30 degrees open, then the shoulders power through and the follow through actually pulls the hips into their finish position. So the hips dont race to the finish position, the following...

    lag and all that stuff

    I have a problem flipping and I am learning more about what is going on in the swing. I now understand that I need a flat left wirst and cupped right wrist while also having a bent rear elbow at impact.

    I need a hug

    I was kicked off of a forum recently for challenging the instructor who ran the forum. He was talking to another member and he said that "there is no right and wtong in the golf swing and as soon as you understand that you are on your way to becoming a better golfer." So I told him that is an...

    what do you think about this?

    I know someone who teaches his students to try and hit the ball with the heel of the club, that is one of their main theories. I wont explain the reasoning because maybe I am biased one way or the other. Does this sound logical?

    practice swing to real thing

    any tips on helping the real swing look more like the practice swing. I can get my backswing into a great position in the practice swing but when I do the real thing I immediately feel it go to the inside, and way too flat.

    backswing

    I have found that my backswing causes me a lot of problems because it is too flat and I fully set my wrists way to early. I pull my arms across my chest, damn jim hardy, and makes it hard to drop it in the slot on the way down. Also, my shaft plane is way too flat and my hands end up past my...

    this book and website are tough

    anyone have any cliffnotes for the book? I have been talking to an instructor who knows about and uses the teachings and he has helped me understand some of the golf swing truths as mentioned in the book. The terms are technical and that is probably why it is not a best seller of instruction...
