Can you tell me if the Chuck Cook videos utilize TGM principles...?
I'm not answering for rwh, but I can tell you this:
At last year's PGA Merchandise Show,Joe Daniels, president of The Golfing Machine, LLC, hosted a gathering of TGM Authorized Instructors and 'interested others.' Chuck Cook was a featured speaker, and from the podium, he held aloft the 'Yellow Book' and said (paraphrased):
"This book has made me three million dollars."
That statement leads me to believe that Chuck's videos -- I have seen none -- contain more than a little TGM.
But I also would not be surprised if, as usual...
The genius and gift of Homer Kelley remains "under wraps."

Yes, Mr. Cook knows some TGM. I've heard him speak also, and it is quite evident that TGM knowledge is there.

I got his book and he identifies The Golfing Machine as part of his education in the intro . . .
As a follow-up to the original post, exactly how did Homer study the golf swing for all those years? Am I correct in my understanding that he largely used photographs to go along with his own knowledge of engineering? Did he have video of great swings (Hogan perhaps)?
For those of you more expert than I (I'm approaching my one-year anniversary in TGM) and still am a beginning golfer, isn't it possible that Homer might have written a very different book if he had had the benefit of modern computer programs, launch monitors, etc? I'm not trying to be a wise guy here; I'm just wondering. I doubt that the three imperatives would be any different. It's the rest that I wonder about.
Can you tell me if the Chuck Cook videos utilize TGM principles and whether or not they were helpful? Also, can you tell me the titles? Thanks a lot.

Prinicples, yes; use of terminolgy or mention of the book, no. But, if you know the book, you'll recognize a lot of things -- bent left wrist, flat right wrist at address, right forearm pickup, flat back shoulder turn, right shoulder works down plane to the ball with a swinging procedure; flat left wrist, bent right wrist at impact; forward leaning shaft at impact -- just to name a few. You will also recognize the use of the Chapter 12 progression of Basic, Acquired and Total motion.
Good, solid, helpful information, but nothing that anyone on this or the other TGM instructor forums don't know about. I really liked the 2 DVD short game set the best, especially some really cool drills. Titles: "Building The Perfect Swing" (1 DVD). "Building The Perfect Short Game" (2 DVD's)
