Other posts on "creating or achieving" axis tilt made me curious about why it is not a component. My search led to 2-H: "On Plane Right Shoulder Motion is possible only by tilting the axis-the spine. See 7-14." I am "in neutral" with the mysterious hips awaiting the additional video. Hopefully it contains instruction relative to the axis tilt deficiency.

DRW,
My post you quoted above was in reference to the Ben Doyle Lesson now in our Gallery, not Collin Neeman. I am not planning a release of more of Collin's lesson. However, we will post another of Ben's in the near future.
Regarding the required Axis Tilt, it is accomplished by the Hip Slide while maintaining a Stationary Head. This Hip Motion causes the Right Shoulder to remain On Plane during the Downstroke (from the Top through the end of the Follow-Through).
Have just finished watching this series of clips (while home fighting an upper respiratory infection). What a treasure!! My sincerest thanks to all involved!
Many thanks to the team that put the video together. For those of us ho have no chance of a lesson with Yoda this is a real bonus and truly appreciated.
In Homer’s introduction to TGM he states:
“The more rudimentary a player's skill, the less difference the "differences" make and the more difference the "samenesses" make. The more precise a player's skill becomes, the more this is reversed.”
Therefore, when MizunoJoe said “It would be much more instructive to see Yoda take the student in Ben's lesson and make him look like Collin.” he was simply saying, in effect, that he would prefer to see a video that demonstrates the "samenesses" of the golf swing as expounded in the chapters on “Basics” namely 2,7,8,9 & 14. Doesn’t this idea have merit and wouldn’t it make an interesting theme for another video?

As promised, we will today put up a four-part Silent Video wherein I take an absolute beginner -- Vickie Lake -- from The Land of Can't to the Land of Can. The Gateway, as always, was the Flat Left Wrist.
The video was shot the weekend before MJ wrote his post and was never intended for the site. Nevertheless, it meets head-on the issue of Effective Stroke Training in the earliest stages of learning Golf. You will be forced to look, Look, LOOK because, unknown to me, the battery on my external microphone had died. Frankly, I view that circumstance as providential, because your attention will not be diverted by 'words' from the visual and kinestethic process used to effect the learning.
Vickie first learns to keep her Left Wrist Flat while swinging without a ball. As you will see, that discipline immediately vanishes when she is confronted with the task of actually hitting the ball! As the lesson progressess, she gradually gains the ability to make the correct motion and hit the ball at the same time.
Near the conclusion of our time together, Vickie was hitting little pitch shots with a truly sound Golf Stroke. All was not 'perfect', of course: Like a newborn colt, her Motion was still a bit wobbly, but its character was in place. And though you are unable to hear it, many of her Strokes actually resulted in the sound of pure Compression. A sound, I might add, produced in one hour that has yet to be achieved in the lifetime of the majority who play the Game.
