As happens so many times, someone like yourself gets so lost in the "pattern" that they lose sight of what works and what doesn't. In an effort to re-create the wheel you create new terms such as "switting". Homer was very specific in his research and I can't find this term anywhere in TGM. If you wish to use such terminology then I suggest you write your own book and do your own research.

Why I suggested that people not get lost in a specific pattern I meant that they should understand how the accumulators work so they can use them best when needed. There is a HUGE misconception in TGM that hitters do not rotate. This is complete nonsense.

Hogan said he wished he had 3 right hands, does this make him a swinger or hitter? Who cares, he sure did not. If you carefully read through TGM you will find many references to the right arm that will make you understand that it is in no way passive as you suggest.

When you talk about "the only force that a swinger applies actively" you are once again creating a "THE WAY" procedure that will not work for every situation. If a 4 barrell is a hitting pattern so be it.

If you wish to be a book smart "theorist" then I suggest you only use the terms that Homer used in his book. If you want to use the book as Homer intended it, to improve your game and your student's, then I suggest you become less reliant on "perfect patterns" and gain more knowlege on how the components can effect each other, positively or negatively.

I am not a book smart person. When I do schools with Lynn and Ted I feel very inadequate in regards to my lack of recall to specifics in the book. I do feel that I have a great working knowlege of the book and how to apply it to my own game and explain it to my students in an understandable fashion. The book is tough enough to learn without adding "terms" that are not there.

I will not post further on this until the terms are used properly. Switting is not a pattern, so I can't give a detailed description of it.

You are a learned and well spoken Golfgnome. Glad to hear from you.

I heard recently that the pros are always seeking a better way of getting the right side into their action and that for the most part their grips were strong on the left side.

Hey is "Hinger" in the book?
