Thanks for getting this started. I feel exactly the same. The greatest thing to me about TGM is with the proper alignments you can be aggressive. EC pointed this out to me early on. He said that with all the compensations you end up playing the game "defensively." In the long game I wouldn't hit it hard for fear of the dreaded "snipe." In the short game if I hit it hard, I had zero distance control. If I could have learned to chip this way 5 years ago, I know I could post better numbers. Oh and another thing . . . Yoda advised me to hit about the first 30 balls with just the Right Forearm Flying Wedge using paddle wheel motion. Not for distance, just to get the feel of the structure and control. The on-plane paddle wheel motion was huge for me because my right forearm was too high causing the low left shot. No better place to get this down than on the chipping green. As you can tell I'm geeked on this topic. Thanks for getting it going!
