Great images, thanks again.

Wondering exactly what drills you worked on.

Did Greg McHatton help with your max trigger delay?

Did you use any "non-real feels " or training aids to change your release?

Your pivot looks a little more "delayed" with snap release ? Shoulders a fraction more closed as you move into downswing? If so, did you learn pivot changes through pivot train or did new pivot change secondary to pp3 thrust changes?

Now you have learnt it - is it all about straight line delivery path and aiming point and pp3?
Too many questions...! Sorry!!!

Hi Richard,

I did no other drills except do what was outlined in:

6-B-1-C
6-B-2-C
6-B-3-C
6-B-4-C

Maybe mention should be made of the fact that the most valuable training aid one can have is a full length mirror. Two bays down from where I am hitting balls, there is a full length mirror that I use to look, look, LOOK per 9-2.

I do not concentrate at all on what my pivot is doing. I am more concerned with 5-0, monitoring the hands and making sure that I have an underhanded pitch feel per 2-N-0.

Per 9-1: "Emphatically, Hands are not educated until they control the Pivot."
Per 12-3-0: "Note that no Zone #1 elements are listed - Educated Hands control The Pivot (9-1)."

If your hands are educated, then the pivot will respond correctly. But then again, I already have a trained pivot so I am covered per 6-G: ("Educated Hands can only compensate for Off Line Hip and Shoulder motion but only up to a point.")

It is important to bear in mind 9-0: "The Three Zones are a natural division of the action. Their identities must be maintained in teaching, practice and playing. And unless developed in sequence, a very weak "compensated" game is inevitable."

Also, 9-2: "Zone #3 can never be any better than its Zones #1and #2 support."

First, you train the Pivot and then per 9-2, coordinate Zones #2and #3 as soon as feasible. Finallly, you let the Hands control the Pivot.

In the words of Lynn; monitoring the Pivot instead of the Hands is akin to teaching a javelin thrower to work on the run up instead of proper delivery of the javelin by the arm.

Now that I have mastered it, yes, its all about Aiming Point (6-E-2), PP#3 and a Straight Line Delivery Path.

Last but not least...Gregg did not help me with my MTD, it was absorption and application of the principles found in TGM and explained by my mentors and the mirror that did the job.

That said, it was an experience to meet Gregg if only because I was brought into TGM by his and Bobby Schaeffer's videos.

Cheers.
