After watching the Australian video thousands of times back in Feb and hearing TT constantly yell "hit out at the ball" I began to see many things that are similar to what I perceive to be a maximum participation stroke. With that in mind, I emailed Ben Doyle and he concured that one could achieve a MPS using the teachings of TT. I cannot find the short yet to the point reply that Mr. Doyle sent me, but he mentioned that once you get into pitch position that you are able to "hit." (I believe he used the term forearm slap.)
Hit out at the ball.
OT: I have found that it is much easier and productive for me to focus on the right hand instead of whipping and zipping my right forearm. Putting my mind in my right hand has made this technique come full circle. Another thing that has really helped is cocking the elbow with my bicep and attempting to align my right hand as close to my right shoulder as possible. My swing has become very compact, whippy and powerful. I blast my long irons as far as the avg. LPGA pro hits their driver (245.9).
Oddly enough my swing looks like a power golf pre-accident era Ben Hogan, but on the frame of a big black man.
Have you watched the Fred McCrary video on this site?
He looks like a very good hitter and not like a big "power golf" era Ben Hogan.
Lynn,
Good job with developing Fred's hitting procedure. Cool video of student and instructor hanging out and talking golf. Also cool to hear Fred's passion for the game.

What a great journey this has been exploring the teachings of TT. I think that TT would have made his videos more concise if he knew that would-be students were going to view them in hope of learning his pattern. I've had a great time piecing his lessons together and have found that everything that one needs can be sourced from watching both videos. The only problem is that piecing this pattern together is a puzzle: certain parts of the vids become more relevant as I improve and practive. I have had many archimedes-like EUREKA! moments where TT words came to life... "doh! that is what he was saying."
