Anyone visited John Dunigan's site www.golfbetterproductions.com. Seems to have quite a bit of TGM in there. Talks about educated hands and anyone who uses those terms has gotta beleive in TGM. Is he an AI?

I bought his book. Good concepts but not TGM. He advocates pushing with the hands. Very big on swing plane and lag. His first move down is a backward push with the hands. I enjoyed his book.
I've read his book, a while back, and didn't quite understand what he was trying to describe. I would guess that it is a move similar to what Tomasello describes, but his seemed to me to also include a plane shift of some kind.
I can see from the photos that he can strike a ball well, it was just a touch unclear exactly what he wanted folks to work on.

From what I've seen, he's big on the plane. He wants a double shift - from the elbow to the turned shoulder back to the elbow plane. I'm sure what he's teaching will fix most slicers but if he gets a good player I'd have to guess that they will start fighting the hooks.
Basically, he either a) doesn't know you can have a zero shift; or b) doesn't like a zero shift. Everything in his book is regarding a double shift. His ball-flight "laws" are also completely backwards from what I remember. Pretty much the exact opposite of what really happens. Says clubhead path determines starting direction and clubface dictates curvature. Thus an out-to-in path with an open face means you'll hit a pull-slice...when we all know what will really happen.

FOR ALL OF US WHO HAVE BEEN TAUGHT OR LEARNT IN ALMOST EVERY TEXT WRITTEN ON BALL FLIGHT LAWS THAT THE CLUBHEAD PATH( BEYOND A CERTAIN SPEED WHERE THE PATH VECTOR SPEED SUPERCEDES THE FACE DIRECTION DICTATES TO THE STARTING INITIAL DIRECTION OF THE BALL AND THE DIRECTION OF THE CLUBFACE WILL DETERMINE THE CURVATURE OF THE BALLFLIGHT, THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECT AS PER THE ASSUMPTION MADE. IN A PUTT WHICH IS A STROKE OF LESSER INTENSITY THAN A DRIVE IT IS CLEARLY SEEN THAT THE CLUBFACE ALIGNMENT DETERMINES THE STARTING DIRECTION OF THE BALL BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE CLUBHEAD TRAVELS ACROSS THE BALL FASTER AS IN A DRIVER. WOULD THE RESULT BE THE SAME IN BOTH CASES??? IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW FOR OUR FORUM READERS WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS TO THE SHOT SHAPE WHEN THE PATH IS OUT TO IN AND THE CLUBFACE IS OPEN TO THE PATH LINE IF ITS NOT A PULL SLICE THEN WHAT IS IT/ A PUSH SLICE.

Here is a quote from Tomasello's 1991 Golf Illustrated interview...
"....once you have the set the flat left wrist and the bent-back right at address, the hands do absolutely nothing throughout the swing. That is a major hurdle for most golfers; to do nothing with their hands and wrists feels foreign, because they've been manipulating them so many different ways throughout their lives".
Doesn't sound like the move djoc decribes above is what Tomasello taught...
