Martin Hall certainly does a good job of translating good fundamentals to analogies, metaphores and drills that everybody can relate to. This is a double edged sword. We who are familiar with TGM see the TGM and the debth behind his messages, but those who don't know TGM doesn't. 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?

Well I'm glad we have this forum where we can go deeper. How many members are there here now? 10 000? More? Anyway a big head count for a high end golf discussion forum. LBG is something quite special.

I'm glad, too. I'm hoping more folks get active in the discourse. Feels like a handful of gladiators with a lot of citizens sitting up in the stands of the arena...and so far, I feel like I can only clean up after the animal acts...
Must to the book for my learning...study to show thyself approved and all that..

As I said, I enjoy both teachers, and take away something every lesson. Gotta give it the litmus test first, what would Homer think? When I watch Lynn's videos, I KNOW I can hang onto every word... I'll bet Mr. Kelley would enjoy these professionals as well, and be proud that so much of it is based upon his work.

Martin Hall is also listed on Haney's website as going through the first level of his associate pro program. Agree that Hank hasn't shown much in his show, but think part of it is that I don't believe these lessons are taken that close together and in some cases the student doesn't do anything between sessions.
