I promise you that is what TGM is all about!! We use references to be specific to detail.... but the heart and soul of Homer Kelley's work is :-

3 Imperatives

1.FLAT LEFT WRIST / BENT RIGHT WRIST

2.CLUBHEAD LAG

3.STRAIGHT PLANE LINE

If you have these 3 things and a zillion plane swing ( Hardy's sequel!!! ) then you will have a much better season than if you have a one -plane swing but no understanding of these 3 things...


GB, thanks for this post. Well, you can believe or not but even not being a TGMer I knew that those 3 imperatives are keys for good golf.
Flat left wrist/bent right wrist is something we mortals call as a push release.
That's why I never put special attention to the most common crossover release type.
Clubhead lag - well, it depends what kind of lag we are talking about - dorsi flexion right wrist lag (right wrist bent) or radial deviation right wrist lag (right wrist cock). Push release (bent right wrist) favours the first one, unless someone is so gifted to transfer the wrist cocking lag in the first part of the DS into the wrist bent lag in the middle of the DS. If a golfer cannot transfer it soon enough he is left with a crossover release type. This is how I understand lag in my plain language.
Srtraight plane line - yes, this is the ideal we all should go for.

Cheers
