There are a few local professionals that are coming to me for TGM based instruction. I've found a common thread of misconception with them and with others that are trying to hit.
Depending on the use of 10-5-A versus 10-5-E, the look of the clubface at top can be different. Angled hinging is the "feel" of no roll. But, hitters still have turn and roll. Understand that the geometry of a hitter and swinger at top are the same.
I'm one of the culprits. My own misinterpretation of Angled Hinging along with watching Ted's hitting video on this web site led me to believe the club face should appeared closed at Top for a hitter. This led to some disastorous ball striking. However once Ted explained right forearm pick up on the backswing and angled hinging through the ball, my ball striking has improved immensley.
This just proves TGM is great, but man it get's a lot easier when you work on YOUR hit (or swing) with a knowledgeable teacher.

Thanks again Ted.

There are always those students on which I hope the world does not judge my teaching. (The guy that you wonder how he gets dressed in the morning without hurting himself or someone else.) Of those, you ARE NOT one. I'm very proud of your progress, and I know there aren't many that want the knowledge more than you. Not only will you become one of the best teachers in the world, you'll also be able to demostrate the patterns. They'll say, "he talks the talk and walks the walk." For that reason, I'll feel like a proud papa for helping you along the journey.
