Tongz, you want to come over to California for a few lessons? My email address is

I focus on pivoting stronger, stop steering, and how to be much better wedge players.
I love love love TGM, but it's not the end of the story.
Scheffer and I used to do the Golfing Machine Schools for Sally Kelley back in the 90's with Gregg. We've taken things a step further and now do schools in Santa Barbara and Australia also.
I taught in Austria and Switerland for 7 years and those Germans are LESSON TAKERS.

Should I get a cut of all this free advertising?

I have seen Bobby tape and it is ok.

As far as long-hitting goes, it is mostly god given, but all of my long time students are long for their particular ability.
 
Well I can say that, I have seen and tape Mr McHatton's golf swing. When the club hit's the ball. The ball gets the message. The ball really shoots out like a cannon ball. It really makes an unusaul sound. Then when it land it land like a butterfly with sore feet. My vote goes to Mr Gregg McHatton. Why would you pick Bobby when you can have his Master or Sin Say. My other vote goes to Mr Doyle even in his later year the man still has it.!

JBM47, it comes down to communication, you can have 3 qualified instructors saying the same thing 3 different ways, I may only understand it from 1 of the explnations.
The best teachers are the ones that get their followers to understand, and find a way for the follower to DO said principle.

Bobby does swing very smoothly..low speed-high thrust.

For those who are interested, per 6-M-1,

"Any Accumulator number may overlap...Increase Overlap to increase Thrust -- decrease Overlap to increase Velocity."

In other words, using Max Trigger Delay forces you to increase overlap and hence thrust, but this procedure naturally restricts max hand speed.
 
McHatton can indeed compress a ball beautifully. And he was a US Junior Champ at 15 plus an All American at USC way back when. Then he kept missing the Tour by one shot so he just hung around and was the king of the mini tours and gave lessons.
Brian is right...Boom!

Look close, the golf digetst swing just wasn't a good swing. You can see in redgoat's a good swivel before the bent left wrist.

Plus with how strong his left hand grip it is going to be much more cupped at the top and much more bent after impact due to the naturation rotation of such a strong grip.
 
"Look close, the golf digetst swing just wasn't a good swing."

I've looked close many times in person - he ALWAYS does that when hitting his usual fade. He full rolls only when drawing the ball(not too often).

Sam Snead, 1974 Masters. Finished his warm-up hitting 3 woods out of the divots left by his irons, holed 6 of 8 shots from the practice bunker, hit the ball so well that his playing partner (Chi Chi) said that "you couldn't carry the ball any better tee-to-green" and that if Snead had "putted like Arnie in his prime", he would have scored in the 50's. Snead was 62 years old then, and later in the year tied for 4th place at the PGA.
