I have a problem with the TGM classifications in that none describes, as far as I can see, any resemblance to what I consider a "good downswing technique". With one's back to the target, at the top ("End" in TGM jargon) the worst possible thing one can do is to start moving the shoulders back to the ball before (1) the slide of the hips back is underway(**), and (2) the hands have reached waist high or thereabouts. Moving the shoulders first, even a fraction, leads to an over-the-top move. (** Actually, the slide of the hips back should start before the backswing completes.)
