Different deal . . . that couples motion you talk about is covereed . . . see Peck.

Yes, agreed. Pecking motion. But I believe Peck 10-3-F refers specifically to "Wrist action only".....like Arnies putting stroke for instance (although I did see Geoff Ogilvy do a little Peck chip with Vertical Hinging from a few inches off the green at the Memorial.)

So Id classify the pecking motion you sometimes see employed in a flop (with some arm motion) as 10-3-J Pause. Some arm motion going back and then intentional quitting near the ball. Basically its intentional throwaway and intentional quitting. Yoda hits these by the hours over a little bunker at Cuscowilla. Its a dangerous thing to practice for those who havent mastered total compression , as VJ alluded to in his Lob Shot video with Yoda, but for the master shot maker its a handy shot to have in the bag for extreme conditions.

There's a suggestion out there in cyber space that the TGM chipping , pitching method is not consistent with what the guys on tour are doing.........Not so! The guys who suggest that have not finished reading the book. Basic and Acquired as presented in 12-5 is a curriculum for total compression in total motion. Not a universally mandated method for chipping. No Sir. Whatever creates total compression when omitted reduces compression. You could break the flat left wrist even!

How'd I get onto that tangent? I feel like Innercity teacher here.
