Hi Kevin. I am looking at Mr. Tomasello's very fine work and practicing inside with an impact bag due to the monsoon outside. And my body needs a rest after five days of hitting the ball more purposefully and powerfully than ever before.


When I drop the shoulder straight down, using Mr. T's great posture teaching, that shoulder flows to the ball on its own almost, but I can really accelerate that move also. The pressure on pp #3 very satisfying as is the weight. Is this the downward shoulder plane ?

And then, if I simply replace the trail elbow to my trail side and carry that through to finish, is that the elbow plane?

And then, if I get in that very compact hitting posture and bash the heck out of it by extending my right arm right from the top, is that a third plane or an elbow plane or?

And now to completely show my lack of TGM experience more fully, which types of hitting motions allow a 21hcp like me the best chance of putting a dependable tee shot a respectable distance down the fairway? (Speaking generally about hackers and newbies of course. I will try the various combinations but history can be a pretty reliable teacher.) My short game can be better than average. This week I realized that pp#3 will help both putting and chipping. It was very cool to chip a 7 iron 100 yards at a flag consistently, then a 5 iron, 5 wood, 7 wood. etc. using the simplest hitting motion.

Thanks also for the new list of enthusiasts!

Sorry, but that video does not belong on this website. In my opinion, the sole purpose of that video is to discredit the work of YODA and Brian Gay by another teacher trying to compete with LBG.

True practitioners of The Golfing Machine understand the use of different components and different alignments per the students preferences. That is one of THE MAJOR TENANTS of Mr. Kelley's work.



The Magic Of The Right Forearm was a HUGE part of Homer Kelley's ideals:



I apologize for my rant. Obviously, that video was done by an EXCELLENT teacher, I just don't care for folks whose marketing is based upon putting down the work of others, and I feel the need to stand up for what I believe in.
