One thought that I remember from several lessons at the Faldo Institute in Orlando was that they wanted me to feel like my downswing path was on the same path as the takeaway. It can feel like you're coming over the top, particularly if you have been hitting too far from the inside.
What has helped me out of late in practicing the Golfing Machine method, is that with all the mention of straight line tracing takeaways and delivery paths, it is still quite helpfull to realize that the CLUBHEAD route is still on a semicircled path[with you at its center]......back and through.
I have one of the early editions of TGM and after many hours of attempted interpretation, I decide it was written in Sanskrit and gave up until a friend pointed me to this website. Thank you Lynn/Yoda.
