I'm trying to reduce the swing to a fundamental simplicity that will allow me to get the ball in the hole with the fewest strokes.

"Support the on plane swinging force in balance"

support = lag pressure

The golf swing IS a swing (for swingers). That is a very important thing to understand.

the distiction in your misnomer is what the golfer should focus on to make the club swing, the body or the hands.

The traditional view has the pivot getting all the attention, and in some patterns that works (a pure CF swinging pattern - Knudson), but it must be a completely PURE swinginging motion. Physics is in control in that view. You can't get in the way of the 'swing', or you are in trouble.

TGM puts geometry in control, and hence the focus is on the hands to go up the plane, down the plane and have a hinge.

The club still can 'swing', but the feel and control of that swing is in the hands.

Ultimately it doesn't matter at all what the body does, it only matters what the club does, and how much the club is supported at impact (force).

If the human machine were simpler, we'd all swing like l-L!
