What great stuff!!!! I really like it when the incubator gets some validation... almost as much as when it gets some correction.
And I absolutley love these vids of pro's and really good players executing the TGM principles. The clarification and illumination they provide is fantastic.
The videos y'all have done have quickly become one of my favorite parts of the site.
I loved getting Jeff's perspective on taking the mechanics to the golf course and focusing on the ball and impact motions through follow through instead of the target.
I also realized I really need to work a little harder on my own start up.
Jeff I look forward to competing against you in section events here soon, and Lynn thanks for your words of wisdom. I will go to work eager to teach the TGM principles tomorrow after watching these vids.

Catch ya on the lesson tee.
I played golf today....but these videos made my day...if this is a prelude to your upcoming DVD...I can hardly wait. Pictures are worth a thousand words...these are millions. For people like me who learn so much by visuals...my brain is going wild.
THANK YOU ...THANK YOU...THANK YOU.
AND TO YOU TOO BAGGER.
I loved those videos. Since watching them I have seen my swing improve steadily. I had a pair of TGM lessons but was confused about a couple of things, as you can get a bit blown over by all the stuff you need to improve. But the video on the Acquired Motion was just what I needed. The idea of throwing the hands out as opposed to manipulating the clubhead, was like a missing link.
Interesting videos. One of the things that jumped out at me though was how much crisper Yoda's impact sounds than Jeff's.
Only in my dreams, jplestat.
Jeff Hull is by far a better Ballstriker and a more accomplished player. I only wish I had the information I have now when I was 'coming of age' in Golf.
The good news is that I now have the great privilege of sharing that information with others every day.

And the joy of doing so with friends.
Don't poormouth old timer! I never seen Jeff hit it and I'm quite sure he can compress it with the best of 'em . . . you won't toot your horn so I'll do it for you.
BUT BUCKET HAS SEEN IT FOR HIMSELF AND LYNN BLAKE CAN SLAP RIP THE DIMPLES OF A GOLF BALL . . . . PERIOD.

I'm with Bucket on this one. I was privileged to see the Man himself hit some balls and boy could you hear the compression off that ball!!!

Well I think you are being gracious and humble. But I will stand by what I haerd in the video.
That leads me to a serious question. In your instruction, and in your student's learning, how much do you use sound as a gauge of proper execution ?
In my recent practices, I have worked only on maintaining the "flying wedges" as you call them in my swing. I am new to TGM and think of my self as a feel player, so I have not gotten too invloved in all the terminology. You do a great job, however, of distilling that down to workable advice here on your site. What I have noticed though is that when I do maintain the wedges in a swing, not only do I hit the ball 20% farther, but the sound is completely different. It is quite noticeably different than others on the range. My ball striking has gotten much cripser in the last few sessions working on just this element of your instructional cannon.
I was a 5 hdcp, who had his swing ruined by a PGA accredited professional who adopted the method du jour (Hardy) and quite soundly ruined my swing to the point where I dipped to a 15. When I was a 5 I remember the feel of playing with "no hands", and I had lost that. When I tried to maintain the flying wedges, I recovered that same "no hands" feeling which paradoxically is more like controlling the swing with the hands to properly to make it "feel" like you are doing nothing with them. I am excited about getting back to where I was and improving on that, and I think that your instruction has finally pointed me in the right direction. I thank you for that and for this site. (Now if you would only return to SoCal
I plan to continue working with the ideas you present here. First off, I have to figure how to get my right forearm on plane which I seem unable to do.
