The Tomasello Tapes -- Chapter Four / Hinge Action

Here now is Chapter Four of the Tomasello Austrailian Experience: Hinge Action. Click on http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/Video/C...4_TT_Hinge.wmv and enjoy!

I am really enjoying this series and I am collecting the parts - looking forward to seeing the rest of them :)

Another great clip

Thanks once again to Blakebuster Video and Delaware Golf.
What a great clip and a great teacher.

Really great videos!!! TT is exceptional.
Lot's of the same instruction as the YODA-Martee (MMOCD) video.

Excellent visual, I cannot say enough how much this helps in my understanding, this is a close as I will ever get to a lesson. Thank you

Hmmm...I found an error in this video...

Watch from 7:30 to 7:47: He says his angled hinge shot was lower than horizontal hinging...

But if you go back to 5:00 he says "...it (angled) will go higher than horizontal."

And...if you go to 6:38 he says "...that (horizontal) will hit the golf ball as low as this club can hit it."

Then also go to 7:37 and listen to what he says: "...flight was lower than horizontal..."

So which is it???
Is it also true that angled hinging is less powerful?

I can see why Tom is a really good teacher and had great results with his students and Im really enjoying these....

I spoted the mistake too but it was obviously just a slip of the toungue.... I have to say im not so keen on the advice that he gives though where he tells people that you can sence the hinge action alignments through the right hand.... It is against 1-F (left hand clubhead- right hand clubface) ... As Homer said you can save yourself much anguish this way....

The mind must be open to the integration of multiple sources in creating a golf shot.

Full Swing.....Horizontal Hinging lower than Angled

Short shots....a lot of golfers place the ball back in their stance with the hitting motion and angled hinging which creates a lower ball flight....the same length swing with horizontal hinging and the ball placed towards the middle or in line with the left arm will produce a high shot....

You have to watch it...TGM becomes complex with the short game....you think the full swing is difficult.....the choices you have with the short game are huge.

So for a Full Swing only normal ball position....

Horizontal Hinge = Low Trajectory
Angled Hinge = Mid-Trajectory
Vertical Hinge = High (or vertical) Trajectory

Cool man. Thanks for that.

Ya I agree Matt. That's the way that works best for me. Monitor the face with the left wrist. Get it flat and mash it in the direction you want the ball to go.
