Okay so I've been TGMin' it for about 2-1/2 months now and I have deinitley seen improvemnet, no question. My pitching and chipping has improved leaps and bounds as well as putting so I feel so much more confident 100 yards and in and the scores are actually reflecting that.

The problem I'm having is translating that feeling I have throught the hitting zone while chipping and pitching to the full swing. I have seen improvement with my worst problem (topping the ball) with some very good advie from Compda (AKA Jusin ) but that great feeling and quality of contact that I get from prcticing TGM chipping and pitching still eludes me with the full swing

I am feeling the problem with monitoring the flat left wrist and the bent right wrist in the hitting zone and I really don't know if it's being sustained and what it would feel like when correctly executed in the full swing

So I know this is all in the learning process and I am committed to trusting the process but any and all advice isa welcome and appreciated.

Hi Mike buddy,

"but that great feeling and quality of contact that I get from prcticing TGM chipping and pitching still eludes me with the full swing"

This great feeling and quality of contact eludes you because (and I hazard a guess)of the addition of pivot motion in the Total Motion per 12-5-3.

Not to say that there are no pivot components in 12-5-1 and 12-5-2 the Basic and Acquired Motions or the chip and pitch strokes - they are just zeroed out.

I would suspect that in your full swing, the pivot hinders rather than helps your full swing.

Per 9-0: "The Three Zones are a natural division of the action. Their identities must be maintained in teaching, practice and playing. And unless developed in sequence, a very weak "compensated" game is inevitable."

Train the pivot (Zone 1) then let the hands control the pivot.
Per 9-1, "Emphatically, Hands are not educated until they control the Pivot."
