The Barclays Golf Academy Presented By Lynn Blake Golf / 2008

I have a clip of Lynn explaining Hinge action and the distance the clubhead travels for each one along with left hand position as it is positioned to the plane. A real Eye opener- it is not for the faint of heart or those that lack sufficent heat in their incubator or the time to hatch it. I asked Lynn to do this one after a class and was not what he presented to the Barclay TGM virgins. I'm left to work on that one in Final Cut Pro and need a hour or so to cook it.

*** You will see how sweet angled hinging/hitting can be and that the hands still swivel and roll, that it is NOT merely a straighten of the right arm hinge motion.

I'm looking forward to seeing it. At the end of the day, all we can do with the incubator is incubate!

I lost control of some quality trying to get this out. I will re-work it for our gallery later.

i shot it vertical (duh) and needed to rotate it to make a QT file. It still works- the lesson here was not taught to Barclay clients as is but covered. This will take time to incubate. I hope this clears misconceptions of Hinge actions and why it is Rhythm.

Thanks, Mike. This video demonstrates one of the most confusing and misunderstood aspect of TGM -- the Hinge Actions. It was done totally 'off the cuff' at your request to amplify a point I had made in an earlier clinic.

BTW, the applause you hear in several places on the video has not been 'dubbed'. The 18th greeen at Ridgewood and play at The Barclays championship was only about 100 yards from where we were filming.

Thanks, Mike. I luv ya', man!

But even those non- machineheads at the end, knew they witnessed something special with their applause.

Tom Paul, PGA of America professional and co-inventor of the SmartStick, participated in our Barclays Golf Academy on Thursday. He also joined us for dinner that evening, as he had the day before. We were pleased to welcome him aboard.

After our Academy closed for the day, we spent time in the short game area working on his hinge action alignments. Tom experienced a major 'Aha!' moment there and later dropped me this note:

Lynn: I have just recovered from being exposed to the biggest shock of my life....The World of The Golfing Machine. I thought my time with Toski would never be topped...how wrong I was about this. I had the time of my life being part of your group. What I learned and experienced was priceless.

I appreciate being accepted by Ted, Jeff, and Rob and I could not have been treated any better. The school you put on stage was first class and I could not tell Martin [Hall] enough as to the level of professionalism that I witnessed. You have a gift of being very entertaining and insightful in getting the message to those who want to listen, watch and learn. For this I am forever grateful.

Thomas Paul, President
The Smart Stick

Thanks for joining us, Tom. See you next year!

I differentiate Swivel Action (Wrist Action with its true Rotation) from Hinge Action (Arm Motion with its Vertical Left Wrist) in one of my free Hinge Action videos. Check it out!

I throw in some Black and whites as I can shoot in a black and white mode through the camera. I love B&W- I cut my teeth on Tri-X and D-76 for years. It is on page 3 of this thread as they all link together.

I see the black and whites didn't make the slide show- so here they are. I just figured this out


Yoda was everywhere. Barclay Posterboy Phil Mickelson was everywhere, too. The Bonefish, refuge and sanctuary for shrimp and Martinis.
