The 7th Edition
You may as well wait for (or pre-order) the 7th edition; it's release has been postponed several times but is supposed to be out anytime now. The Golfing Machine® website ultimately redirects you to Amazon to order online. Others have reportedly has problems pre-ordering the 7th from Amazon, though.

Although I haven't played there a lot, Bear Slide is one of my all time favorite courses! I'll PM you about this and we can set something up.

Couples
The Freddy Couples swing in some TGMese...A Swinging procedure, with a Reverse Loop Shift. The book says... "Handled with skill, this Shift can be very effective."

I actually think his plane line on the backstroke is closed which normally causes a short pivot at the top of his backstroke but he then uses his pivot to readjust the plane line which is why his stroke looks slower than it actually is.

Interesting! When I have seen Couples he appears to be aiming WAY LEFT... more of an OPEN-OPEN 10-5-D.

Mathew and lagster thanks for your replies. In Freddy's book he basically says that he sets up a shade open to offset his inside swing path grip and that allows him the whip his wrists through with no fear of a duck hook, worst case is a slight block right.

Seems to work best with a lazy tempo, and just letting the arms kind of drop from the sky as I fall back to my left heel. If I hurry anything and dont make a full turn I usually cast and hit it fat or hook it badly. When done right its a beautiful thing.

Not sure. I would assume amazon, but I haven't looked in a while. At lease one of our members tried to order the seventh edition and recieved the 6th instead. Maybe you could try the same thing

I tried amazon and ran into a ton of trouble with one of their resellers, Players Quest. I ordered and paid extra for expedited shipping. Should have been to my house within 7 business days. Well 18 business days went by and they still didn't even ship it yet. I filed for and received a refund from amazon. I still want the book however!!!!

I guess my faith in the amazon resellers is pretty low!
