If I could send you back in time (using Mike O's space ship, of course) with Yoda-like knowledge to help a teen version of Boom-Boom would you change anything? The scary thing about people with the intuition that genius supplies is that they can be even better! I think Jones would have been even better with a level right wrist at top etc. I suppose he did not need it to beat the competition of his day! I understand that their are 10 trillion ways to skin this cat, but the greatest inequality is the equal treatment of unequals (Felix Frankfurter.) Good is good but best is better! Freddie's procedure has been rough on his machine! Still, I love to watch that man take a cut at it!
Wouldn't touch it . . . I'd teach him how to putt . . . If I knew how . .
I mean talk to me about his alignments . . . I MEAN ALIGNMENTS . . . not how his hands work . . .
“You have no need for your weapons with me, Gurney Halleck.”
I’m not in disagreement with you. We drive on the right side of the road to travel from point A to Point B. The English, drive on the left. Would you give them an “F”? If you were sitting next to them in the passenger seat, would you tell them to move over to the right lane?
If we are in America and I was telling someone how to make a left turn, I would say to, first drive through the intersection and then turn the steering wheel counterclockwise. If you do that in England, You’ll crash into an oncoming car.
In my (our) Book, we would first teach him to Hinge the Primary Lever. I would ask him to practice Basic Motion Strokes and attend to the Curriculum as outlined in the “Book” of Revelations: “The Golfing Machine”. But first, I would ask him to hit 100 balls his way, because it is sooo much fun to watch. It’s Fluid, Graceful and Powerful.
Bucket Said: Homer said EVERYTHING is workable basically . . . even Pivot Controlled Hands and intentional Clubhead Throwaway.
Daryl Says: Ya, but he didn’t really mean it, unless you’re willing to give up your childhood to make it workable. It’s in the Cliff Notes.
Bucket Said: The Flat Left Wrist is rooted in the Law of the Flail. It is the relationship of the Clubshaft and the Left Arm that Homer was describing . . .the Left Wrist can thus be anatomically Flat and Geometrically Flat . . .OR it can be Anatomically Flat and Geometrically Flat . . . but in order to satisfy the conditions of the Flail it is ALWAYS ALWAYS Geometrically Flat.
Daryl Says: The Arm and Club are only Flail like. It is Geometrically Flat if the Clubhead and Hands have the same RPM.
Bucket Said: Notice the pictures in 2-K . . . there is a true Flail and a Golfers Flail . . . The true Flail CAN BE VALID in golf. I submit that Couples and Garcia seemingly THROW the club . . .BUT the appearce of their wrist conditions can be deceptive . . . You have to have the proper perspective to see it . . .it is the Left Arm and Shaft that must comply.
Daryl Says: Not. It is the Hands and Clubhead that need to comply by having the same RPM before the Club and Arms reach full extension.
Bucket Said: The grip is essentially just how you attach yourself to the golf club. In order for the club to work the hands have to do certain things based on complying with the Law of the Flail . . . the may not always LOOK right if you focus on the hands and not the club and the arm.
Daryl Says: Is English your first Language?
Bucket Said: In Orlando I was hitting these low lefties . . . very solid but a bit low. . . Lynn comes over and goes . . .Your Flail has to work like this . . . Left wrist cocks and BENDS to get the club out of it's follow through alignments. The ball instantly went up . . . compression increased . . . and ball go straight.
Daryl Says: Did the Ball go up because of your follow-through or because of something you did to produce that follow-through? Did Yoda reach for a Martini afterwards to calm his nerves?
Bucket Said: Don't always judge the book by its cover or the golfer by their wrist alignments.
Daryl Says: I don’t. I judge them by their choice of "Kool-aid" Flavor.
Both hit fades with a supposed HOOKERS GRIP . .. One goes to the Moon the other burns worms . .
Tell me why based on what you see here . . .
The Guy on the Top, has extra layback because his right elbow is hanging back. Too bad he doesn't swivel but uses his Pivot to Roll the Lever. Look at Frame #8. This guy is great. TVA Grip. Could Have been a perfect Horizontal Hinge.
The Guy on the Bottom is TTU. Strong Double Action Underhand Grip. He has the same right elbow alignment problem as the Top Guy. It's laying back the Clubface through impact. He's comming in over the Top. Look how High His Right Forearm is. If his clubhead arrives a split second early, he'll high-hook the hell out of it.
P.S. There is not a better Right Forearm Pickup (2-F) -- with Full Pivot and Centered Head -- than Bucket's sequence of Fred Couples (Frames 2-4). There is not a better 'Through the Ball' (7-24) Release Sequence (Release to Follow-Through per Sections 8-9/11) than Daryl's sequence of Lee Trevino (Frames 7-10).
Thanks Yoda! Hey Daryl, have referenced the "cliff notes" a couple of times. Are you holding out on us, or what? I know you alumnus-types have all the goodies, don't ya? You don't seem to like the 7th Addiction a whole lot. Spill the M&M's! Until Yoda and Marvel get their respective acts together, and publish a TGM inspired comic book series, I need all the inside stuff I can get. Extensor Man thrusting to low point! Speaking of low points...I apologize
I was thinking almost exactly what your post script said. Freddie is a good example of how there are no flat spots in a circle!

I'm only telling you this because I like your posts so don't go private messaging everybody out there.
Once you reach 422 posts, LBG sends to you, by Special Delivery, the "Teachers Guide" and an e-mail link to the "TGM Advanced User Website" where you can participate in three forums.
They are:
"TGM Simplified"
"Secrets"
"Answers to all of the Questions"
Have you notice my comments became more credible after post #422 compared to previous posts? I think that 422 posts is an average. I read, on the Secret Web-Site, that it took Bucket 800 posts but only took EdZ 324 of them. "Cliff Notes" is a secret word used by the advance members when they refer to information on the "Advanced User Site". "It's in the Cliff Notes" means that the information is readily available on the Advanced Website.
Who knows? Maybe you'll get lucky. I'm not sure, but Bucket knows, that golfers Posting and Participating in the Forums on this site, can sense the "Cliff Notes" coming.
