Why?

Personally I think it is fine the way it is. It gives Lynn exposure to those curious about him and it attracts people to the forum at the same time - people will come and go in time and trying to force someone is always going to have a negative effect on them. People and relationships will develop in time and there is alot of posts here already... it will come, I think people just need to be patient.

I'm here more to learn. I check out the three main (as far as I know) TGM sites almost daily, but I seldom post, and rarely start a thread. I don't feel like I have the TGM knowledge to offer advice, and I don't want to clutter up the sites with meaningless twaddle. I do, however, want to thank those frequent posters who really know what they are talking about. I have learned to hone in on the threads they are active in, because my questions are always answered without my having to post them. This is really great, and has really helped my ball striking (and my short game is beginning to come around as well). Thanks again to all of you, you know who you are, or you wouldn't be posting.

I don't know about the idea of limiting the video vault to those who either post enough or have can answer TGM questions. I thought the point of the videos were to answer TGM questions.

Totally off-the-cuff question: What's wrong with people "lurking"? One can learn quite a bit from not posting and listening (or reading as the case may be). I find it too bad that those who are either too shy, too inexperienced or too scared of being flamed to post are basically given a synonym for "stalkers"

Everyone is at a different point along the path...some are just starting out on the journey...some are way ahead...The great thing about this forum is you have the "Freedom" to learn at your own pace...One of the major reasons I personally try to post with a picture or graphics is that more people are Visual than Verbal...TGM is very Verbal...I hope my pictures/graphics can keep those who are in the dark to see glimpses of the Light...What would be Cool is ...instead of debating....start sharing insight and ask questions using video/pics to really share concerns or ideas...For instance....all the great work that Mathew has done with the animations are priceless, the gallery of videos are an imperative for learnign(especially those new to TGM,.... Yes there needs to be an intro to TGM ...TGM for Dummies Video,etc... 1000 minds....only 10 doing the work???....How about 1000 minds coming up with 1 - 2 ideas per person to come up with a solution = "TGM for Dummies"...

Lets keep this forum alive...I know I will do my very best!!!

We are definitely not going to limit what is available on this site based on how people post.

Folks can post or not - it is their choice!

Good response, Trig. I think it would be a mistake to try to "force" anyone to post. There is a lot to be learned by reading all the questions and responses. By making everyone post, we will be flooded with repetitive and probably less useful questions. It is a great site already, so I'm happy we are leaving it the way it is.

Yes, I completely agree with that.

[phillygolf]

My original questin was just that...a question.

I was intimidated and still am. Funny to see...out of over 1000, only a few 'lurkers' posted.......

Ok...help me out.

Over 1000 members.

Only about 10 post regularly. Why????

All your questions answered? Asked? ......

Seriously....why??

Just curious. I am dumb beyond recognition, so it cant be that.....

A few things I find to be challenging:

1. I find the constant back and forth discussion between hitting and swinging to be rather confusing.

Do you like to pull the shaft (left handed frisbee throw) or do you like to push it down into the ball with straightening right arm and muscle? Learn one and dabble with the other after some of this becomes second nature. Many Swing the woods and Hit the scoring clubs.

2. I've heard for awhile now that Phyics 101 teaches that centrifugal force does not exist. Does this make a pulling motion for swingers ineffective?

It has been mislabeled as a factious force because unlike Gravity that exist in any and all conditions (outside a Black Hole), CF can only exist in a rotational condition like a rock twirling on a string or low and behold- a golf swing (clubhead orbit to be precise). It is the yang to the yin Centripetal Force. Neither exist without the other. This is Newton’s Third Law- Its real.

3. I like the idea of self coaching. This books begs for readers to seek out in-person instruction. I've done a fair bit of this in my golfing life and I'm not excited by the prospect of doing more of it.

LynnBlakeGolf is a wonderful website. The gallery is unbelievably good. I'm just waiting for someone to write "The Golfing Machine for Dummies."

One morning with Lynn Blake and you are set for life. Or any of the pros listed on the forum can explain and guide as well. Where do you live?
After that the gallery clips are great. This forum is the dummies book.
