Yea, TGM trained in any sort, associated or non associated with TGM LLC., current AI or not. Ben Doyle is a big one that comes to mind that wants a double shift.
Why not ideally work a player to a zero shift procedure, yet it seems more customary to adjust the pattern in compliance with or around the associated shifts.
"TGM Trained Instructors " = why the smiley, leaves for needed explanation and or implication

I agree with ya Joe. Zero Shift minimum at least on the Downstroke.
Professional Athletes spend 10-15 years under excellent guidance and proven methodology before turning Pro. Yet despite the similarities in training programs and coaching, some programs and coaching stand out among the crowd and are more sought out than the others.
On the other hand you have Golf. A new system is invented every year that hits the front cover of golf magazines. What does that tell you about a sport that's been around for 200 years.
The TGM uncompensated stroke pattern is not simple or easy to learn. It's probably the most difficult in Golf. The best instruction and understanding will get ya a 2 Barrel Swing. A 3 Barrel Swing needs more practice and precision. Years.
Who wants to bother with that?
99.9% of all TGM Instructors studied TGM so that they could understand the Methodology. Who said they could teach it? Who said that they understand TGM? The 2 week school that they paid to graduate from? The organization they pay annual dues to stay licensed or members in good standing?
I've only found a few who understand TGM, and I've been studying Twenty-five years. At twenty years I didn't understand anywhere near as much as I understand today. That's just understanding, not application. I still think I only understand half as much as I should about TGM and then there are true students of the Game that know a hundred times more than me that merge TGM with other disciplines and Golf Research.
How much knowledge should you have to teach TGM? I think it needs to be comprehensive. Know it and be able to perform it.
I called Ben Doyle about four years ago.
Ben: "how much TGM do you know?".
Me: "a lot".
Ben: "Tell me about 10-19-C?".
Me: "I don't have the book memorized."
Ben: "Then you don't know TGM."
A soldier's manual is a thick little green bible that explains everything a soldier needs to know to help himself and his brothers in arms during combat. During peace time, the soldier is asked to prepare himself by training and studying the basic skills from within his soldier's manual. The soldier is made to train until he knows his soldier's manual inside and out by hard; and when the soldier does, the soldier is made to train over and over again as the training becomes completely mundane to the soldier. This is how I will learn to know The Golfing Machine.

Exactly right, smoke. I remember well the day my own journey began. Little did I know where it would lead!
Below are a couple of threads I started a while back that may help. Please excuse the occasional run-on words that are the product of our search engine (and not the original posts).
