Welcome. Tell us some more about this.:salut:

I haven't been playing golf long, but I leaned what I know from obseving TGM Internet forums and videos online. I finally decided that i was overdo for hands on instruction. I made the drive from San Fran to Monterey and spent an hour and a half with Ben. I passed many of his tests such as impact bag, tire drill, great wall of china. We spent a lot of time on my address routine and finish routine (hold and rest). We worked on getting my right elbow to drive more towards my belly button on my downswing (storing) on sitting at the sametime and creating more axis tilt. I'll be working on these thing for the next month and I hope to see him again soon.

I hope to supplement that instruction with this forum. Thanks for the welcome.

welcome :salut:

:shock:

This is a facade, scam, imposter. I killed Bucket and have photos - this is probably his widow posting.

The disturbing problem - who else would know his Freudian issues - such as above - and would be able to post such an emotional post based on the concept of maximum delay? Could it be that he was brought back to life - the return? For now my life goal will be the same until I gather more evidence.

Back to Squats
 

I think the "squat" provides necessary travel (lateral slide) for golfers who do not maintain the base of spine pointing at or near the golf ball at setup and/or during the back swing. If TGM places our right forearm on plane at address, doesn't this automatically preset spine angle ("reverse K") enabling us to set the base of spine very close to where it needs to be at impact (whether or not we choose to locate our golf ball where our base of spine finds itself is another question). If the axis of rotation remains fixed on the backswing, then downplane movement of the right shoulder on downswing should simply displace the base of spine closer to the target (increased spine tilt, and at or ahead of our golf ball (good bye fat shots). This limited lateral (and primarily rotational)movement probably does not look like a squat.

That is a valid and astute observation regarding the rt forearm being on plane. The little squat move I have incorporated is mainly just to add some torque from the ground for more compression, help me get to my left side, and to add some athleticism to my swing. Tracing plane lines is obviously critical, but in my search for percision I felt like my swing had become too static. So Im trying maintain the percision while also getting my lower body more into the act....
