Yes, Martee, the same thing jumped out at me. As we moved into the Acquired Motion segment, I briefly summarized the immediately preceding Basic Motion and mistakenly said "Acquired" instead of "Basic." Oh well, the joys of the 'live' presentation! Fortunately, I later made a similar reference and got it right.
For the record, the Basic Motion (Stage One) is all about the Basic Body Positions, the Power Package alignments and the Arm Accumulators. The Acquired Motion (Stage Two) introduces Body Motion and the Hand Action Accumulators. The Total Motion (Stage Three) moves toward unrestricted motion, but still at less than full Power until alignments are perfected.
Stage Three is done first with the Middle Irons and then repeated with the Long Irons and Woods. Consequently, as Homer Kelley described it to me, there are actually five Stages in the Basic Motion Curriculum, not three.
Hold up . . . wait a minute . . .
Did you just admit a MISTAKE? A little birdie told me you don't do that???

Lynn,
Are there any areas of golf that interest you outside of TGM?
Is there an update on your trip to the Titleist Performance Institute?
What did you think about the 3-D technology?
I've been following your website from afar and wanted express my gratitude for taking this site light years ahead of the old TGM forum with the addition of the videos. The guidance and commentary that you have provided to the little yellow book has been amazing. I think HK wrote the book the only way it could have been, but in order to translate some of the concepts, these ideas just need further discussion.
If pictures are worth a thousand words, than your videos would be worth a million. It's easy to dismiss basic and acquired when just reading TGM, but to watch and feel these small swings has taught me more about the golf swing than anything I've done before. I was recently on a business trip and noticed the new videos with Jeff. I downloaded them and watched them while flying at 30,000 feet for 2 hours on the way home. Beat the heck out of any in flight movie I must add.
Once again, thank you so much for your contributions to understanding the golf swing. I look forward to the growth this site and lifting more of the fog.

This one made me smile, Ming. A big 'ol green ear-to-green ear grin.
Absolutely brilliant videos Jeff and Lynn. Thank you so much.
Lynn I can't wait for your DVD to come out, so I can get some really solid golf instruction. Oh ... I am in Australia so don't forget to make some DVDs that are compatible with the DVD players down here. Thanks again for all your excellent work

Thanks for your comments, Novice. And thanks, too, for the reminder that V.J. and I have got to keep the different international DVD formats in mind.
How is Yoda going to to "knock our collective socks off" with the much anticipated instructional video, if he keeps deliving such great instructional videos in advance of his own videos release? When Yoda says he is with us all the way, perhaps some newcomers might be sceptical, but he absolutely delivers on his promise. The clear purpose of this forum is to raise the stature of the golfing machine in the golfing world by helping individuals improve their games.
There were two standout gems for me in the golfgnome video that most definitely increased my knowledge of the swing that I want to own.
1) I knew a lateral hip move was required to start the downswing, but the Old Waverly Vijay move that Jeff learned was a rare instances where sound was just as important as picture in helping to deliver an important golf message. Its hard to spell the golfgnome's grunt, but it was most beneficial in focusing my attention on the need to execute the hip move far more crisply than what I had previously believed.
2) The downswing waggle provided by Yoda illustrated new ground for me. I had previously thought that driving my elbow down to my side was the initial part of my arm's drive to lowpoint. I didn't understand that the elbow gets reattached to my right side as the secondary result of the hip advance, and it was a body move, not an arm move Further, the waggle you demonstrated illustrates the valuable role of the moving right shoulder downplane to generate additional power for a hitter by increasing the distance through the ball that he can hit.
Finding these two ideas in just one 5 minute segment of the video was quite exceptional. I also love the idea Jeff shared that the golfer's target is driving through the ball to lowpoint and beyond and the balls target is the flage on the green. Overall, a truly superior effort.
It is sincere comments such as your own that stokes our motivation and keeps our home-fires burning. As you have said, each of us here at Team LBG truly is focused on "Bringing Power and Precision to your game," and we appreciate knowing that we are making a difference.
A little birdie told me you don't do that???
