Thanks Mandrin,
I think I see your points regarding endless belt, acceleration and "feel-reality".
I agree too that the role that Brian plays as teacher is working out why whatever the student is trying to achieve in his/her head is causing such an awful looking swing in his body. This is the bit that many desribe as "an art" in teaching .
It can be see as an art in that it is difficult to explain why something "looks wrong" or "i think this component will suit you better...". Brian himself alludes to this issue in one of his "video lessons". He comes from a family of artists.
My interest lies in knowing why Brian's brain sees these things more efficiently than others. Obviously it is a skill learnt over years by somebody with a "great eye" for the swing ( but I'm sure that " great eye" for the golf swing is actually "a standard eye with great visually analytical brain"!!. BUT all the brain is doing is measuring and comparing with previous results. There is no metaphysical component to golf instruction, no sixth sense or divine inspiration!This stuff can be written down - it is just difficult.
golfbulldog,
TGM is like a scientist’s dream, building a complete system, with nothing left out, all being counted for. Can become an obsession.
TGM will never make it as nowadays people want things quickly and already digested. Hence, doomed to remain marginal.
TGM, if a commercial success, will guarantee however, due to its complex pseudo scientific language and crytic structure, many teachers bread and butter.
