It may be the best way to reach a large audience but a lot of the substance is lost in translation.

It will be interesting to see whether Martin aims higher as the series progresses or he stays at "wipe the milk off the table" level throughout. I hope he has the guts and gets the green light for raising the bar gradually throughout the show. Going from "wipe the milk" to hinge action and finish swivel would really be something. If he does, those who watch every show will learn a lot.

I haven't seen Yoda try to reach down to a translation that fits TGC. But I am convinced that he has the ability when the situation calls for it.
You're exactly right about the double edged sword BerntR. You could stick to TGM and make all 100 of us happy or dumb it down to practical analogies to the public. John Q understands "milk off the table" and unfortunately ain't real concerned with the mounting of a hinge pin. Everyone's looking for the quick tip, but the facts are that the golf stroke is a little more complicated......us TGM'ers vs. quick tip hyper guys is kind of P90X vs. a fat pill....while one makes you a stud, the other leaves you hopelessly where you started. And theres a whole lot more fat pills sold than P90X survivors trust me!!! Lynn is the best IN THE WORLD at explaining the truth.....unfortunately, not everyone's willing to hear it..............job security?
