Thank you for the pictures. They are a great help for those who need to clarify the very technical vision (and so competent) of Mr Kelley's book.
My question is: do you use the same hitting pattern for the driver, and will we have a chance to see the driving pictures ( as Trig ask in the first post)?
Thank you so much for sharing these materials.

If I get a chance in between lessons today, I'll try to take a couple of driver pics. And, yes, my driver is the same pattern.

I have done a lot of progress using hitting procedure. This is specially true for irons. I still have problems with woods and driver. For years I have been told to "sweep" my woods and try to drive the ball upward.
Question: Do we have to hit it DOWNWARD, outward and forward, even with the driver? If yes (wich I presume) what is the incidence on teeing high?

Go DOWN young man. Take an air divot with a driver. Tee height has become higher on average, because the CG's have changed. Driver faces are much deeper and the heads are much bigger. Additionally, try hovering your driver and you'll feel the ability to still go down. Sole the driver and return to a higher tee height and it will not feel the same.

I have the same problem hitting the woods (or any club when the ball is teed up). I think your point will help big time.
When swinging I sole the driver at address (adhering to 2-J-1) and let CF pull the driver to the correct height at impact.
When hitting I now realise this will not work (no CF), and hence the very poor results.
I will do what has been perscribed - hover and hit.
How about a little more on starting from impact fix?? Do you have all your students do this? Just elaborate a little more on the advantages if you don't mind.

I have a few use Impact Address, but all that use it are Hitters. The majority of my students are Swingers. Most have been "conventionally" taught. Even on the TGM sites, Swinging has been the dominant pattern. Until Yoda came on the scene in the TGM forums, Hitting was something kept in a dark closet. At least now, everyone is recognizing it exists. I remember Yoda telling one of our very well respected, fellow TGM'ers, "there is a 12-1-0 AND a 12-2-0."
For me, Impact Address (10-9-B) was the evolution from the recommended starting point of Standard Address (10-9-A). My first goal was to accomplish the suggested pattern, 12-1-0. Then, I began tailoring my own pattern, 12-4.
In 10-9-B, I remember reading the words "especially useful for Hitting". Those words, alone, were reason enough for me to use Impact Address. But, in using Impact Address, I found the feel of the impact alignments was the reason I'd never leave it. At no time did I want to feel my left wrist bent. I didn't like the feel of the "middleman" Address, with a bent left wrist. I liked the feel of the right forearm alignment, and the flying wedges being assembled at Address instead of in Start Up. And, it promotes the carry-back of the entire Primary Lever Assembly. I prefer the "stiffer and stronger structure", as it gives me the feeling of using the Axe Handle procedure. I primarily wanted less moving parts from Start Up to Finish.
