I have been studying The Golfing Machine for the last 4 or 5 weeks. My progress has been nothing short of fantastic to the point that I am in awe of my own progress and afraid to tell other about it because it seems too good to be true. As the result of concentrating on lagging with focus on pp #1 & #3 as well as flying wedges, significant distance and accuracy have been added simultaneously. Your explanation of the golf swing has had a Homeric effect on my game.

I viewed the TT tapes with considerable interest. On the 2nd installment, I noticed that when I copied Tom's raising arm concept as the second part of the backswing and anchoring elbow as a distinctive move on the downswing, that my lagging specifically and whole swing general suffered its first setback in weeks. My analysis is that when I copied Tom's model, I removed focus on the right forearm staying on plane throughout the swing. Today I forgot about Tom's arm and elbow positions in the second tape and went back to focusing on lag and keeping right forearm on plane, and my new gold swing returned. Am I missing something?
