4 Barrel Hitting

[KevCarter]

I only meant to say that JE's Pattern is a "My Way" Pattern. As strongly as he feels about it, he should teach it. But Once a "My Way" Pattern is designed and taught, I wouldn't call it TGM anymore. Call it J.E.M. or something so as not to confuse the Golfing Public.

I truly like what he says about Zone 1. The Pivot should keep moving and move far.

I disagree that everything he does and says resides within the Conceptual bounds of TGM. His theory is Anti-Power Package and Anti-Arm Acceleration Sequence. Additionally, the P3-4:30 position, which means that when the Clubshaft is Parallel to the Ground during the Downswing, but that the Butt End of the Club points to a 4:30 Position (inside Aft Quadrant of the Ball) on the Ball, is off Plane. When the Clubshaft is Parallel to the Ground it should also be Parallel to the Base-Line of the Inclined Plane. I don't disagree with him, but I don't think that his method should be called TGM.

In Fact, he better be at the 4:30 position with the Clubshaft because his hands are so far from the Ball at Release, he needs the extra Time for his Hands to stay ahead of the Clubhead at Impact.

The following Quote from the 6th Edition, Requires that the Golfer use a Turned Shoulder Plane and Hands Controlled Pivot. Otherwise one cannot get the Hands to the Line-of-Site-to-the-Ball before Release. (TGM is a Method) JE has a Picture Perfect Pitched Elbow Location but it's forced. A Turned Shoulder Plane would Locate it Automatically.





I fail to understand how the #5 Accumulator has reached Accumulator Status? I can't find an Out-of-Line condition? And especially because its Power Application begins after the Ball is Struck, maybe it should be Termed something other than an Accumulator.

Daryl,

You are making some great points about Lag's TGM. Lately, Mr. Erickson has been doing some writing about address alignments that, as an LBG / Brian Gay swing fanatic, I totally disagree with. I really like a lot of his ideas on playing the game, and I'm sure his information will continue to help me in this regard, but I choose to continue on the swing path we are learning here from Master YODA.

Thanks for the help in understanding the differences. Your posts are VERY enlightening and help keep me on track.
