After knocking a bunch of "basic motion" shots into my net for a couple weeks,I had a chance to to horse around on the course yesterday(47 deg. in Indy)
Well after some ok swings I thought I would try my best interpretation of the TGM hitting prodedure. (I dont have the book, just based it on Ted, Lynn's, and 6BMike's post's)

wow, straight and compressed shots and good distance considering the sloppy track. I think I might concentrate more on a hitters pattern vs. swinging, but I did have a couple questions for you guys.

Tomasello said in his hitting vs swinging video that you wont get as much distance when you use the hitting procedure. Is this true? I mean Ted and Lynn both hit it a mile and are not huge guys by any means.

Tomasello also said that as you age, you wont be able to get it out there as far as someone who swings, and he uses Arnie (and maybe Lee Buck?) as examples. Thoughts?

Im assuming the lack of PGA "hittters" on tour is due to a shortage of teachers like Ted or Lynn who know how to teach hitting, or maybe because they grew up learning a CF swing. Its definately the most accurate way I have ever hit a golf ball.

Homer said if your strong hit and if your quick swing, Im about 5'11' 190 lbs. pretty stocky and played hockey for 20 years. I guess I could go either way. I appreciate any input on my questions, Thanks

Some of my best Hitters were hockey players. You know how to use your right arm in a slapshot, and it translates well to golf. I'll bet you never tried to hit a puck into the nosebleed section of the arena. As a result, you understand trajectory control and won't look like a flipper.
