The Hitting Machine (With A Swinging Toggle Switch!)

Hi Noryang,
Thanks for your post. The fact is that most people are naturally disposed to Hit. That is why TGM is heavily oriented toward a Right Arm Controlled Stroke (even when Swinging). It is just a very natural Motion.
Many of the problems encountered in conventional Golf Instruction are due to students being taught to Swing without being purged of their natural inclination to Hit. The result, as we say around here, is an epidemic proportion of Switters.
Nevertheless, Centrifugal Force Swinging is a powerful and accurate way to move a Golf Club. I did it almost exclusively my first twenty years in The Golfing Machine, and I teach it at least as often as I teach Hitting.
