I've seen almost everything.

And, he said with an English accent and a very dry wit, "purchase a motor bike."

I have a very vivid image of you saying this for some reason

I'm trying to keep a tally on the cigarette to cuss word ratio!! Is anyone in that class actively teaching?

Hello

I was made aware of something yesterday i had not known.

On the Tomasello tapes i had offered, the last 1/3 of number 7 and the number 8 dvd are faulty as far as video goes. In all honesty i did not know that having not seen the tapes.

In no way would i try to offer something that i knew had this problem.

It makes me happy seeing the discussion about these dvds, and i get the feeling people are enjoying them.

Once again I am sorry for any inconvenience.

My set is like that, but the audio still is pretty good where the video is shaky. It may have been a problem with the original tape being 20 years old at this point. Overall the presentation is chocked full of TGM the way TT taught it and is a very good reference. Thank you again, Howard, for making this available.

You won't hear from me until late Sunday....off with my babe to Atlantic City.

What . . . no laptop?

Where are your priorities?

My copy is this way as well. Audio is still great, and it is definitely worth listening to. Anybody who is serious about TGM should be getting these dvds. They are absolute gold. Tons of information presented in an easy to understand fashion with the same passion we saw on TT's Australia series. Thanks Howard for making these available to us!

My guess....cw:c ratio = 25

My guess....cw:c ratio = 25

Interesting DVD's for sure. Lot's of good information but I think you'll still have some questions after you watch them (I think that's just the nature of TGM).

You definitely don't want the kiddo's or grandma around when watching. Several "f-bombs" are dropped along the way.

In Disc 5 when discussing "monitoring the hands", TT breaks out a stick with two flashlights attached to each side to demonstrate tracing the plane line with the right forearm (probably the first ever version of the "smart stick".) TT says that he invented it, showed it to Homer, then Homer included it in the next edition of the book.

Something interesting regarding takeaway appears on Disk 5 as well. TT says, "Pivot controls the backswing, Right forearm controls the downswing". He makes that statement a few times and says that is the easiest way to do it. He makes the statement when discussing "monitoring" in 5-0.

Question for DG or anybody else who had the pleasure of having lessons with TT. Did he teach a right forearm takeaway???

He taught... Right Hip starts very slightly first(clear the hip), then the right arm pickup. "Right hip/ Right arm, then Right arm/ left hip...face the target."
