... One of my questions is, the reason you have to learn these different hingeing actions is because?? (is it just to train the correct impact positions, or to help you hit different types of shots? or am i totally wrong? hehe).
Hope you can answer my questions.
Thanks,
Ricky
First, depending upon your stroke pattern, you will end up primarily using either horizontal or angled hinging for your full shots. Knowing these hinge actions well will allow you to monitor your stroke so that you maintain your preferred action.
Second, creativity in the short game is enabled by knowing and using the various hinge actions. Using horizontal hinge actions for long bump and runs is ideal as it promotes a lower ball flight and gets the ball rolling quickly. Conversely, flop shots are ideally executed using vertical hinging with a cut (outside to in) path. Trajectory control, key to short game strokes, relies on the 3 hinge actions.
Now we can see if others concur!

What I need to know is this: Where do I start? On the range, shall I start hitting balls with a basic motion 2ft back 2ft through doing the different hinge actions for 2-3 days? (I am pretty much full time golf). WHAT THINGS DO I REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT, AND NEED TO WORK ON TO BE A GREAT PLAYER USEING TGM?
Do I really need the TGM book? Or is this website just fine?
Thanks,
rick

Get the book, its invaluable. The more you learn the more you will reference it. I'm pretty new to TGM also but I find the book is a great companion whilst surfing this site and BM's.
Im scared of becoming like I did this summer, I couldent keep the same swing for 1 week without changeing something but i was still shooting low seventies!
What I want is a swing and drills, drills what i can work on day in day out and they will build me a good golf swing. I dont want to know all the ins and outs, I want to know the fundamentals and drills that will give me a consistent golf swing which i will not need to change!
I want to see how good i can be next year, but im not going to be very good if I fill ym head with things i dont need to know which i will always be experimenting with and stuff because ill never have a consistent golf swing from which i can build a game around.

Yo Yo Yoooooo you're sixteen. Chill my friend. Get the book. Go see your local Authorized Instructor of the Golfing Machine...if you don't have a local AI...save up the money and go see Lynn. Just because Michele Wie is on tour at 16 doesn't everyone gets that opportunity. Take it a day at a time...build your swing one component at a time...learn the machine inside and out....you have a big advantage today with this awesome website....and so many great minds to tap into. Just have fun with the learning experience that you have available here....before you know it all of this stuff will become second nature. "the only shortcut is more knowledge"...if you want to be a serious tour player, I recommend learning both hitting and swinging. You won't regret it.

Im in Britain (wales), theres no flamin good instructors in britain! Is Ian Clarke any good? He is on the golfing machine website under instructors in britain. Ill save up for a flight to america and then see lynn ! joke!
So before starting work on anything, I need to get the book?

Maybe you should stop jumping around from site to site to site looking for a magic pill.
Quinton's to Chuck's to Brian's and now to Lynn's. I wonder how many other "stops" there have been in between.

It's funny that you are concerned that the book is going to become a roadblock to your success...that working to understand how the machine works is somehow going to be a detriment. You've asked these questions before ...and you are still not sure which path to take. The planet is filled with 16 year olds that probably can shoot your numbers...believe it or not. No one can tell you for sure with any degree of certainty how you can reach tour level. Mechanics is only part of the formula. What are your gut instincts telling you what to do? Tiger Woods the greatest golfer on the planet has a teacher ...why wouldn't you need one? Oh yea...buy the book and get working on programming that computer of yours. Don't expect to understand it overnight...don't expect to learn it on your own. I wonder if Brian Gay, John Riegger, and Jeff Hull wished they would have started to learn what they know now at your tender age of 16?
!?!?!?
