I like this article thanks guys. And I applaud Mr T's divergent vectors, independent pivot and arms direction , motions. It is a way, a good way, not the only way but I do believe the best way. No tying the pivot to the arms with hankies or whatever. Pivot goes one way the arms go another just like we do all the time in everyday movement , tennis, football whatever.
However, his notion of throwing the club straight down vertically is not square with the Aiming Point or Tracing to my mind. I sorta know what he means but in reality everything is thrown down plane at the plane line or aiming point in terms of intensions to my mind. The divergent vectors of arms and pivot net out to make it so, yes. The arms go up and down the pivot turns around but the intention is always down plane to my mind. Just like in other sports.
Just a small point. Hey DG how ya doing. No offense intended. I like TT. Another Marietta guy, didnt know that.
Thank you DG and Ben for uploading this material. I love to read anything from these great teachers of the machine, and finding differences in their preferences goes a long way to helping us learn!

My favorite part of the interview is TT indicating the only agility needed in golf is the ability to turn the hips and raise and lower the right elbow. Clearly a simplification, but a great one. If I simply drive down my club from the top, it hits the ground a foot behind the ball. If the hips turn that same motion strikes the ball squarely. When your mind gets too filled with thoughts, a good way to play. A thought I have been workiing on, power package moves down and out. The hips provide the forward.
