I learn the system by watching all stuffs, the Book; LBG; LBG videos...for 2 years. With hard work...my driver and iron distance both add 13%...
7-iron (stiff shaft MP32) distance is 175 yards; Driver (TM TP stiff Tour AD) is 270 yards...carry.
I am a self-taught player and never attended a lesson, how come i can achieve such a PRO distance?

If you cannot take the shoulder down the clubshaft plane, you must take along some other path and add compensations - now, instead of one motion to remember, you wind up with at least two!
The average player needs to produce a minimum of 13 degrees of launch angle. If your driver has less than 10 degrees of loft, what must you do to produce the lift? Swing up? bend the left wrist? Bend the plane line? Why not just put more loft on your driver and produce the same alignments that you produce with your other clubs.
Very interesting idea. Thanks Jeff.

My first post and just wondering, does anyone else have issues when it comes to driving the ball? Does TGM work really well for Iron play, but not so good for Drivers?
Before I got into TGM, about a year ago, I was a 10 handicap struggling with golf my 7 iron went about 150 yards, now I’m a 6 handicap payer with a 7 iron flying 165 to 170, and it’s all to do with compression and lag and a flat left wrist, so I agree 100% that using TGM for iron play (and actually putting) woks really well.
However, I cannot keep my driver on the golf course, it sprays all over the place, my really low scores come only when I employ “course management” which is another phrase for being too scared to hit a driver of the tee I use a 3 wood or hybrid or iron, which is no fun at all. Is there anyone else having Driver issues, can anyone point us in the right direction?
Thanks
Post a clip of your motion if you have the chance. A few areas to look in the meanwhile.....
Are you as 'in balance' and stable with your driver as your wedges?
Is your motion smooth? or does it have wobbles?
Are you maintaining a stable center?
Are you supporting impact?
If all that is true and you still have issues, you potentially either have a Rhythm problem, or you have gear that doesn't fit your motion\loading.

A very nice motion there Jamnet. A couple things I see. First, you are having a chin/shoulder collision on the backswing with the driver which tends to pull your head off of center.
A slight swivel of the chin to your right will give your shoulders more room to turn 'under' the chin. You can see by the right foot's finish that you are round housing as a result - the right shoulder needs to go more down plane.
That leads to a fair amount of a snare - the bob. A focus on a more stable center should help a lot. Check your knee\hip action as well. The more stable the knee/hip motion (pivot), the easier it is to maintain your center.
More focus on the pressure points in the hands, and a stable center. The rest is in great shape. Very nice work.

I ain't no teacher but this is what my untrained eye sees . . .
I agree with Edz you got some Bob issues . . . but I think they stem from your knee action. You left knee is "buckled" . . . if you look at that bunch of leaves just behind your head it's pretty much even with your melon at address . . . but into the ball you are WAY down. Check out your knees . . .
I like the way you move the club . . . but with that knee action you have to be moving your Low Point around too much to be consistent.
I'd say get your head where you want it at fix and try to leave it there. You need to feel more "left" and "posted up" on your left leg . . . like it's straightening.
With that knee action I'd say you'll have a hard time getting your down and you low point infront of the ball. You need to feel more "left" and "on top" of it.
Bagger, EdZ and 12 Piece Bucket,
Thanks for your comments and analysis of my swing. You made really interesting, insightful and helpful observations and I will definitely work on them in my upcoming practice sessions.
Thanks again
