Not to worry, robert w. We're all here to talk about golf and to learn from each other. And as long as things don't get out of hand, we're completely okay with members discussing books, videos, teachers or anything else that has worked (or not worked) for them.
But there comes a point -- admittedly a very subjective point -- when such discussion crosses the line and becomes profiteering on the considerable effort it has taken (and continues to take) to build our membership base. The same holds true for deliberate attempts to undermine the private lessons and LBG Academies that indirectly support this site.
For example, not long ago, a member posted that he was pleased with what he had learned from the site and was considering traveling to see me personally. Shortly thereafter, a reply post followed (from someone I've never met) with a list of teachers in the member's area, complete with names, addresses and phone numbers, along with the advice that he could save a lot of money by staying home.
Line crossed.
We seek to provide -- for free -- a meaningful experience for all who come here, and in so doing, to promote Lynn Blake Golf. It violates our sense of 'fair play' to have links posted that direct members away from our site. It is particularly vexing when those 'redirects' are recurring as part of a member's signature. At the very least, we consider that tactic bad manners.
In those rare instances we feel action is necessary, we usually address the issue by Private Message. In this instance, our membership beat us to the punch, and so we have responded publicly (and also privately).
Thanks to all who support us and our mission to bring power amd precision to your game. As we approach Member #3,000 in just 18 months of operation, we are delighted with the progress made, but far from satisfied. More, much more, is to come!
I apologize to all of you.
I am inexperienced for posting in forums.
I just really want to know the advance TGMer prefered swing model which should be the right path, non-struggling way, for everyone to develop into a higher level in a short time.
Again, sorry for blatancy.

I don't believe there is one particular MODEL for TGM. Some good traits could be gleaned from looking at certain players...Steve Elkington, for example, has many good things about his technique (Pivot, Impact, Plane).
One way to find a MODEL... is to find a player that has a similar build, tempo, strength level, and flexibility to yourself. Even this, however, does not always work. If you looked at John Daly just walking down the street, you would probably not imagine he could have a long, swinging type action in golf.
The ESSENTIALS and IMPERATIVES should be there, but after that variations can be in one's technique, and probably should be. Find a way that works well under a tournament situation... for you.
The Model stems from the shot at hand...and how you intend to apply force to accomplish this objective...your body type, talent level, Golf IQ, etc...etc...etc... are all factors in the equation!!!
I believe that each of you, the "expert", has a prefered swing model for a general situation.
Homer Kelley states in his Preface of The Golfing Machine - " for people - shaped golfers there is actually only one swing".
The prefered swing model from the "expert" like all of you in here is the guideline to the right path for the followers, like me, to develop into a higher level and discover which one is suitable.
Does the TGMer prefered swing model be a personal secret that should not express?
Please don't tell me that you have not any prefered swing pattern.

Having experienced a one on one lesson from the master-and a 3day golf school,I can assure you that LBG does not teach a "prefered pattern".What you are taught is the essentials and imperatives,how you apply them -within the huge options of component variations -is down to the students physical build,flexibility,preference etc
Do you hit or swing?.Do you know the difference?
I speak from a personal view point but any expert on this site will have their own personal preference of proceedure FOR THEIR OWN GAME,but they would not teach you swinging if you were a natural hitter-unless you also found a swinging proceedure suited you.Of course,some teachers may only teach either hitting or swinging -but i personally doubt it.
