Rotators And Thrusters

[Yoda]

What does being a PGA tour player have to do with lower body action? Watch Kenny Perry!!!

Trust me, Jerry . . . all TOUR players have Pivot Lag, i.e., they unwind their bodies powerfully and in sequence from the ground up -- Feet; then Knees; then Hips; then Shoulders. Otherwise, they could not hit the Ball the prodigious distances they do.

This action Loads the Power Package and Transports it (the Power of the unexpended Bent Right Elbow and Cocked Left Wrist / Turned Left Hand) to Release. Then, in an Action that started at the Top with the Lag Loading (7-19) -- Drive-Loaded Right Elbow (Hitters) versus Drag-Loaded Left Wrist (Swingers) -- physics continues to differentiate the Delivery of Hitters from Swingers (Wheel Track Motion versus Wheel Rim Motion / 7-23).

Regarding Kenny Perry, you are making my point: As is Brian Gay, Kenny is a Thruster (Wheel Track), not a Rotator (Wheel Rim).

Long live the Thrusters. Thrusting is the only way I can hit a ball with my back condition. If I went to a rotator for instruction I would be finished with golf forever. This is an important breakthrough with TPI. Before that they were always talking rotators. Lynn pushed the issue so there will be more Thrusters!

I've edited my Post #6 above to include more information and references. For Labor Day's 'early responders', it's worth a re-read.

BTW, I fully understand that such detail is of interest only to amateur afficienados and professional Instructors. The former use it to their own edification and advantage. The latter, likewise, but even more, to that of their students. The 'rest of us' should take what we want and what's left over, in the words of my NY friends, Fuggeddabouddet! An alternative is to dump it in your Incubator and come back later.

For Instructors: Should you teach the TGM material 'chapter and verse'?

My opinion -- unless you are in an academic setting -- is a resounding "NO!".



Instead . . .

Teach Motion (12-5-0).

Motion aligned Geometrically (2-0); learned Mechanically (3-0); and performed Subconciously (14-0).

As only a few in the world know how to do.
