The swing is beautiful and who would not want it. Now let's see if I can express my question:

Couple of swings come to mind as what I'd immediately identify as very "TGM-ish": Greg McHatton, Ben Doyle and probably EdZ. They seem to have similar extensor action and that classic accentuated flat left wrist. I do not see that in Mikes swing, even though I see a very good tour-style swing.

My eye is not trained, but it'd be interesting to better understand what makes Mikes swing so visually different from what Ben, Greg et al are producing and still a "TGM" swing.

Well. I understand that there is really no such thing as a TGM swing since TGM is not a swing method but a collection of (24) components that can be mixed in different ways - producing swings that are visually very different.

Is my idea of a very TGM-ish swing screwed up? It might just be that Ben, Greg and Ed swings it in a way that you very seldom see on "any" range or on the tour. I find their way of swinging very appealing. What is so particular about their swings? What main components makes them visually so different to mikestloc and still according to the book.

There is a guy at my club who knows nothing about TGM. Everyone thinks his swing looks terrible. He has a short backstroke, then just drives with his right arm. Can you say "hitter"? He's a 5 handicap and hits it a ton with that screwed up swing. And he's 58years old to boot!

There are lots of TGM-correct ways, as you said.
