D, they loved you over there, you must go back. Please. We, here at LBG are not worthy of your genius.
Ok, I'll go back. But the first thing I'm going to say is: "O.B. Left over at LBG.com said all of you suck!". Then I'm going to give them your address, phone number and make and model of your car. I'll be back in five minutes. It will take that long to post this message on 5 of their most recent threads.
7-19 LAG LOADING This category recognizes the over-all control by the Clubhead Lag Pressure Point (6-C-2) and that manipulation of its Loading Procedure determines the Physics of both Hitting and Swinging (Preface). Study 6-H-0, 7-3 and 7-20.
The correct Clubhead Lag Pressure “Feel” is a dead weight inertia – exactly like dragging a wet mop through impact – constant Loading, constant direction. A careful nursing of the Clubhead Feel. Clubhead Lag can be established by three different ways:
1. by resisting the Backstroke motion for Drive Loading
2. with the Start Down motion for Float Loading
3. by “throwing” the Club against the Lag Pressure Point at The Top for Drag Loading
Properly manipulated, Clubhead Inertia can withstand all the Lag Pressure anyone can generate. Including Extensor Action (6-B-1-D).
I guess any release can sustain the Lag. Drag the Wet Mop.

I gotta read this, is this at Erickson's site or iseekgolf?

I'm embarrassed that I started out defending him as a fellow TGMer. We all make mistakes, but I sure had the wrong picture of what was happening. When I read his latest comments about YODA and followers of TGM, I got physically sick.

Erickson's website. ISG.com wouldn't allow crap like that on their website. I haven't been back to Ericksons site since my "meltdown" so I haven't read his latest criticism.
I found a description of our disease. I think it describes O.B. Left really well.
Quote:
Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder, and people with it therefore show significant difficulties in social interaction, along with restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. It differs from other autism spectrum disorders by its relative preservation of linguistic and cognitive development. Although not required for diagnosis, physical clumsiness and atypical use of language are frequently reported.[1][2]
Normally, Asperger disease afflicts TGM followers and their leaders; especially GSED's and people that operate TGM websites, including their staff and anyone named "O.B. Left". (*)
Asperger syndrome is also called Asperger's syndrome,[1] Asperger (or Asperger's) disorder,[3][4] or just Asperger's;[5] it is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, demonstrated limited empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy.[6] Fifty years later, it was standardized as a diagnosis, but many questions remain about aspects of the disorder.[7] For example, there is lingering doubt about whether it is distinct from high-functioning autism (HFA);[8] partly because of this, its prevalence is not firmly established. The exact cause is unknown, although research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not identified a clear common pathology.[1]
Its interesting to me how TGM has a tendency to divide into various factions. The history of this, I dont fully know or understand. Its probably an old sore spot for many of the early A.I.s.. A rehash would be painful and serve no purpose I guess.
Some have chosen to navigate these troubled waters by relying on Homers words. Some have taken an opposite approach. Some cling steadfastly to particular variations. Dialogue should bring new insight but instead it brings disharmony it seems. Homer imagined a network of A.I.s but acknowledged that each would have a unique understanding of TGM. The internet makes this more likely and brings with it a chance for information exchange and tremendous growth like never before. There are far more TGM knowledgeable golfers out there now than at anytime in the past. Homers vision is starting to happen. A day will come when the golf magazines and teachers will be talking about the geometry that we are familiar with. The facts and illusions,etc. It will happen, I believe. Not a revolution or anything just an evolution of popular perception. It wasnt too long ago that "Straight back, straight through" putting was considered the ideal plane of motion for instance. Arcs are everywhere now. Lynn wrote of the geometric differences between the two conceptually years ago, the advantages and disadvantages of both. Submitted it to a major golf magazine actually, which chose to not publish it as a letter to the editor even. His letter would be as accurate today as it was then, only now it would probably get published. Things are changing, slowly, to my mind. The putting arc is just the start to a common understanding of the full swings geometry. The geometry of the circle. If you can understand that little arc you must wonder about the rest of it, no?
As for Lag's site, Homer and Lynn would, I believe, support "his way" or any "my way" for that matter. Perhaps Lag's former teachers didnt, I dont know. That wouldnt surprise me. But Homer would support it only to the point where it ceased to be his "my way" and became "the way". Homer wouldnt have mentioned "X Procedures" if he hadnt considered their viability, their existence for instance.
I liked Johns writing, his reflections, his passion. But Im saddened that he chose to attack Homer and Lynn. Im amazed actually. Why attack the most inclusive, the most variation savy amongst the clan? Its his loss, really. I hope his pattern works well for all who try it. That would be a first for golf, however.
There are so many wonderful teachers and patterns out there that we can all learn from. We all feel YODA and ALIGNMENT GOLF are at the top of the list, but many others have a lot to offer as well. Why can't we just all get along?
