[Yoda]

Don't get me wrong. I certainly do not disagree with what
has been said. What I would like to present is a lesson that
I once took from a leading Instructor with TGM insight:

We were trying to determine which would be better for me,
Hitting or Swinging. The idea was that in either Hitting or
Swinging, that the right shoulder should be closer to the
target than the left shoulder at follow through. First, I was
to try hitting and see if I could get the right shoulder
closer to the target. I had trouble. Then the second step
was to try and get the right shoulder closer to the target
by pulling the left shoulder back to pull the right shoulder
through. This worked and I hit the ball 20 yards further.
Interest lesson.

Donn and I exchanged PMs on this subject. I asked him to give me more detail about his experience with this remarkable instructor. With his express permission, I am reprinting here what he had to say:

"Lynn, the instructor was Fran Deschaine. I have been trying to get him on line with your website. Fran was one of Anikan Skywalker's first instructors. Fran was the head of the Ben Sutton Golf School in Sun City, Florida, where he introduced the concept of differences in Hitting and Swinging. Fran also gave many PGA Instructor clinics to PGA Instructors. He would separate the group into Hitters and Swingers.

Before the lesson that I took, Fran asked me how familiar was I with Homer Kelley. The lesson was after a round we played years ago on a mini-tour. Fran won the Florida Open at age 50 and played some on the tour and Senior tour. Sure would be interesting to get him involved in your forums. Anikan probably more about Fran than I do.

My favorite quote is when the guy with you on the audio tape said to Homer Kelley, "Lynn just doesn't read The Golfing Machine, he lives it." I feel that I do the same with your website."

Thank you, Donn, for sharing your experience with us. There are many different ways of skinning the TGM cat. With regards to 'Body Power,' the key is sustaining Pivot Lag -- from the left little toe nail to the tip of the Right Shoulder! Together, you and Fran accomplished exactly that, a testament to your respective skills.
