You wrote-: "Arrogance? Cool. Because I sometimes disagree with...... YOU?"

Not at all. I welcome disagreements and I would never label someone arrogant for disagreeing with me. I actually like disagreements because it forces me to rethink my position. I only used the term "arrogant" because your statement implied that you are intellectually capable of changing your mind, while simultaneously implying that I am too rigid a thinker and therefore "a priori" incapable of intellectually changing my mind in the face of a good counterargument.

I have changed my mind about many points regarding the golf swing - particularly since I started studying TGM in earnest (starting in April 2008 ). In particular, it has significantly changed my personal approach to my own golf swing. I never realized to what degree I was switter (because I unconsciously used "right arm power" in my downswing) until I more clearly understood the differences in power accumulator use in swinging versus hitting. I have now radically revamped my personal golf swing by becoming a much more "pure" swinger rather than a switter. I also recently changed my mind regarding head position in the golf swing. I used to keep my pelvis centralized at address, and I then tilted my upper torso rightwards to acquire some rightwards spinal tilt at address. That caused my stationary head to be positioned well right-of-center. I now much prefer Yoda's suggestion that one should keep the head centralized at adddress, and then shift the pelvis left-laterally at address to acquire a rightwards tilted spine. It works much better for me. The third major TGM-induced change of mind came when I more clearly understood the importance of extensor action - I only recently realized that extensor action is critically important in preventing chicken-winging of the left arm at impact, and that's another very useful insight. Hopefully, I will gain more TGM insights in the months/years ahead.

Glad to hear you are making some progress with several TGM induced procedures. They do shatter ones previously held golf beliefs in a rather pleasant way dont they. Compression plus being your guide etc.

I withdraw my assertion that you are inflexible given the evidence you have presented to the contrary. Namely the three TGM based methodologies you now utilize.

How bout "sometimes" or "slightly" inflexible?? Just kidding.

You know, those three things could be like building blocks for a nice little motion. Try a little tiny bump of the hips together with some start down waggles and see what happens to your divot direction.

Better be careful, lest you start "singing to the choir" about all things TGM. Oh, oh here comes the recent convert.
