Is there any advice on how to bring him over to the dark side? We chatted about him going down to Rob with me sometime and that way he could get a better understanding from someone that really knows what he is talking about
While TGM was designed for everyone , not everyone wants TGM . Lead this horse to water, if he is thirsty, he will drink. Otherwise, he will stick with the method that got him where he is today and the incomplete stumbling blocks inherent in his teaching. It is now and always will be a game of choices. We (or he) may just choose a different path .

I have mentioned to him this site but he doesnt work well with computers. I completely agree but from everyone i have talked to about TGM the general concenses (SP) is its too difficult to understand. I still have to sit back for a bit and process what i just read. Thats why i do not participate in alot of topics, i would rather sit back and learn from whats stated then after i have better understanding of things I will participate. Almost immediatly after he maintained the alighments he started with he was compressing the ball very well and the trajectory was more playable. I was a student of his for well over 3 years and durring that time i aquired several bad habits from his advice and some of which i still fight today. Thats not because he is a bad teacher as a matter of fact 100% of the problems were my fault either because of misunderstanding or stubborness. I really respect his teachings but i have come to understand there is a better way for me. I have never pushed TGM onto him and when he asked i gave him just some pieces of the puzzle. I see lots of negative comments above and i asked for them so i cannot complain, however I thought I was doing a good thing by giving him a small intro to TGM hoping it may intrigue him. Turns out he is interested in it and even called me today and thanked me for the advice. I completely agree there are more ways to kill a snake and not every way works for everyone. I have found a method that has structure to it and checkpoints throughout unlike general teaching where the instructor pulls up a swing and then tries to get you into the same positions they are in, or when you go in for a lesson and you end up working on that the instructor is having problems with in his swing. Generally in this area teaching goes by lessons of the week. The insturctor finds something they think is the best and all of the lessons they give are similar to the last. I think that soon there will be alot of students in the area with right forearms on plane.
I hope this post has not came across the wrong way to everyone. I thought i was doing the right thing by answering his problems and passing the info along to everyone so if i missed something or there were any suggestions on how to relate things to him better i could have done my homework the next time he asks me for a look.

grapegoat,
My post was not intended as a negative comment, if so, I apologize.
I think you did the rigth thing to answer his questions.
If he is more interested and have questions, why not suggest, since you too are a student of TGM, that both of you could sit down over a coffe and look through the book or sit by a computer and surf over here.
You can also have this next info at your hand;
HOW TO STUDY TGM
First of all, TGM is NOT a method. It is merely a catalog of the things that happen in a golf swing and the things that should be in a effective golf swing.
The foundations of the book are the primary concepts per 1-L: "the Hinge Action (2-G) of an Angular Motion (2-K) operating on an Inclined Plane (2-F)"
The golf swing has 24 components (from putt to drive) and they each have a varying number of variations. Chapter 7 and 10
The golf swing passes through 12 sections. Chapter 8
The motion that makes up the golf stroke can be divided into 3 zones. Chapter 9
There are 20 points through which every swing must comply with in order to produce a geometrically correct swing. All these 20 points can be represented by a geometric figure. 1-L-1 to 21
The science of the book is laid out in Chapter 2.
Chapter 3 shows you the correct way to build your golf stroke.
Chapter 4 talks about Wrist Positions
Chapter 5 talks about Monitoring
Chapter 6 talks about the Power Package
Chapter 11 is a summary of the variations and outlines what are and are not compatible.
Chapter 12 contains zero compensation beginner stroke patterns for both hitting and swinging. It also contains a curriculum with which to begin learning G.O.L.F.
Chapter 13 speaks about non-interchangeable components
Chapter 14 talks about the role of the human mind in golf
Give his incubator something to work with.

Amen, thanks now thats what i was looking for with this post. This is something i can work with here. He has something like the 3rd or 4th edition, so ill have to share the 7th with him.
