That's right, jdtoyou. Even with the Lagging Clubhead Takeaway, the Start Up is dominated by the Right Forearm Tracing the Base Line of the Inclined Plane (the 'gutter' on the 'pitched roof').

And congratulations on your choice of Authorized Instructors:

Tom Reynolds is a PGA Professional who has made it his business to be one of the leaders in this new day for The Golfing Machine. I have had the privilege of working with him twice in the past twelve months and know that you could not be in better hands.

Thank for your response, I know you're a busy guy I'm hoping that when I get a lesson with Tom, it will be what I'm looking for. Right now I've been taking lessons with a younger pro (late 30's). He is a very good player and has played in 2-3 US Opens. Smaller guy but pounds the ball! But he is a little scatter brained during lessons, we go off on tangents sometimes, and when I ask questions about specific parts of the golf swing he does not have real answers (considering he worked with Leadbetter, Suttie, ect) For example, when I asked him about the wrists and lag, how it was created and held....his response was "well what do you mean, they just do it." So I'm hoping that TGM and Tom will usher in a new era of understanding and improving my golf swing for a serious player that's not a pro.
