Hope you enjoy them

Thanks for the link, Addam. We appreciate your contribution. It's always fun watching the stars execute precision TGM alignments!

For the LBG version (with detailed verbal explanation of what's going on) go here:

The promise of this instruction is that, on any given stroke, YOU can execute these alignments as well as any pro. And now you know EXACTLY what 'these alignments' are. All of which 'narrows the gap' -- which was our objective in the first place.

:salut:

P.S. A much higher quality video is on the way soon!

Thanks Yoda,
It should be me thanking you for all your wonderful work you guys do here on LynnBlakeGolf.
Cheers

Three Hinge Actions -- Their Clubface Mechanics and Feels
 

When Ben says "Half Roll" he is referring to the MECHANICS of Angled Hinge Action (Simultaneous Roll and Layback of the Clubface / Half Roll).

When he says "Reverse Roll", he is referring to the FEEL of Vertical Hinge Action (Left Wrist remaining vertical to the Vertical Plane (Wall) of the Stroke) and producing a Layback Only of the Clubface (No Roll or Square).

Obviously, there is a confusion here. The Three Mechanics of Clubface Motion (Full Roll; Half Roll; and No Roll) have their kinesthetic counterparts in their Three Feels (Roll; No Roll; and Reverse Roll). The misidentification of Mechanics and Feels have abided now in popular TGM literature (and commercial products) for the past 25 years, and it is high time it was cleared up. Once and for all:

Horizontal Hinge Action -- Full Roll of the Clubface -- Roll Feel.

Angled Hinge Action -- Half Roll of the Clubface -- No Roll Feel.

Vertical Hinge Action -- No Roll of the Clubface -- Reverse Roll Feel.

And there you have it.

I feel better now!

Precision words abound. Clarity reigns.

Know Your Roll 8)

Not to be disrespectful, and maybe it's just me, but doesn't Elkington hit the last two horizontal hinges off the hosel? :laughing9

They where not a shank but a perfect flush off the Hosel Ha Ha
My set of Elks old irons have a zot mark on the Hosel must be a trade mark

Makes me feel better about the case of the Shermans I had last night!

It looked like Steve was trying really hard to go through Ben's routine before every shot.

I'd like to see some old video of Seve if anyone has any.
