Tell me about the Taly

[Yoda]

local Georgia dowel supplier Home depot suffered a major downturn in demand due the Taly Golf Training aid

Actually, sd, Home Depot cratered last year when I abandoned the now outdated dowel technology in favor of relective marker poles. Since Home Depot stores in Atlanta don't carry the particular model I favor -- they do in Virginia, Washington, DC, and New Jersey -- that business went to Lowes (which fact was immediately reflected in the market price of their shares).

Why did I make the switch? First of all, the product is nonbreakable and pointed and thus makes a good intermediate 'target' to insert a few yards down the target line as an aid for "taking dead aim" (or to start 'right of' or 'left of' when practicing fades and draws). Also, the pointed end makes it great for establishing the Plane Angle and forward leaning Clubshaft angle. It doesn't warp, so it makes for accurate Plane Line tracing -- works great with the Taly on the inside of the right forearm -- and identifying the Angle of Approach.

The recommended Yoda Starter Kit includes five markers in two different colors (to further differentiate Plane Line, Stance Line and Target Line). In Georgia, the markers sell for $1.99 apiece, so you can buy a complete set of five for $9.95. Caveat emptor: The price varies by region, so expect to pay up as you move north of the Mason-Dixon Line. I found that out the hard way last week in New Jersey as I loaded up for my Barclays Academy and was held hostage at $2.68 apiece! So, for the 25 markers I bought, I had to ante up an additional $17.25. Outrageous, I know, but in the end, well worth every penny.

I remember when we got badminton rackets, too! Glad I still have some of the old wooden dowels- they still work great assembling the flying wedges and finding the magic of the right forearm approach.

Yoda for those of us in the UK, could you elaborate on the starter kit, and especially how you go about setting up said starter kit.

Did I notice Justin Rose at Gleneagles with one of the markers?

Gp,

It never ceases to amaze me how many uses I find for the markers -- or anything else I can use to make invisible straight lines visible.

To illustrate some of the many uses, I'll shoot a couple of 'real time' vignettes during our LBG Homecoming Classic at Cuscowilla (October 9-12). By the way, we still have space available ($1,595 now -- -- $1,895 after September 15th). http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/cmps_in...page=workshops

Then you must be there!

In the history of The Golfing Machine, there never has been anything remotely close to this format and its attending domestic and international expertise. And the same crew that just a week ago taught more than 800 private clients at The Barclays will be at Cuscowilla to teach you!

All at a bargain price I personally guarantee you will never see again.

Oh, and about that "if you can afford it" mention above: In January 1982, the last thing any prudent person would have put on Young Yoda's 'afford' list was a 3,000-miles-away visit to the then unknown Homer Kelley. Well, I figured out a way to make it happen, and it changed my life, and with it, countless others.

"Make invisible straight lines visible."

That is what it is all about.

If only Yoda!

I'm bringing Guru to Ireland before he heads onto the swamp. I should have arranged to meet him at your place!

If the dice roll the right way in the next few weeks I'll jump on a plane and be there!

This gadget's been around for a whle and the inventor makes some pretty bold claims - 300 yd drives, not "swinging" (?) arms, mental focus, etc....anything to those statements or does the Taly merely help one to educate their hands withresulting improvement?

Does anyone know why there are different colors? I was wondering if they were different sizes? I'm going to order one but can't find any info on why there are 3 colors.

I believe he states in a video the color is user preference.
