My experience has been that TGm s a slow process, especially educating the hands. I have been a classic throw awayer and focused on my first area of wobble, which was the basic motion. I thought surely i could do the basic motion without throw away but could not. Simply was not doing what I thought or felt. However, after a LOT of closed eyes swings and look, look, look i got it.
Eventually, when you can feel what the hands are doing, big break throughs occur, and a lot of joy. So, IMO sticking with the step by step curriculum is the best method, and identifying the first area of wobble and working like heck on it before moving on.
Doing it based on feel rather than mechanics will waist a lot of time.
Great post chipingguru. Isn't that the truth!!!
Not only slow, but a life long journey. That's also one of TGM's strong points IMHO. Once you master one concept, there is always another to work on, and the foundation you have built is solid and unwavering... Different "science" principles may come up, different ways to measure the swing and ball flight are improved upon every day, but the way we choose to propel the golf ball does not need to change.

The Golf Stroke Involves mainly, two basic elements – the Geometry of the Circle and the Physics of Rotation. And only two basic Strokes – Hitting and Swinging. The geometry (for “uncompensated” Strokes) is the same for both. For all Clubs and Patterns. But, basically, the Physics of Hitting is Muscular Thrust, and of Swinging, Centrifugal Force. And herein, “Motion” is Geometry – “Action” is Physics. Hitting and Swinging seem equally efficient. The difference is in the players. If strong- Hit. If quick – Swing. If both – do either. Or both.
The Geometry of Golf has two aspects – the facts and the illusions, visual and sensory. When facts are understood, the illusions not only cease to mislead but can be utilized.
The Physics of Golf does not specify special “Golf Laws” – only the simple, universal Laws of Force and Motion that you use every day because you cannot move yourself or anything else except in compliance with them. Physics merely takes the “seems as if” out of things. Including Golf.
