I have to say that these videos opened my eyes to a misconception that I hand about horizontal hinging. We all know that HH has a full roll feel. Well, after mimmicking what I saw on the video, I realized that HH, for me, felt like no roll at all. Then I remembered why; the left wrist stays vertical to it's associated plane. My full roll feel was actually overrolling. Remember, Will, the Hinge pin is in the shoulder, not the wrist .
Keep those videos comin'. The visuals and associated explanations have really made learning TGM PROPERLY a lot easier. Not a replacement for a competent AI, but extremely helpful in lieu of.
Gotta say, The Jeff Hull Video Series has become one of my all time favorites. I would estimate that I have spent at least 8 hours of watching them, be it in total or parts. They be GREAT!!!!
Some questions or points of clarifications (Sorry no particular order, just as they rolled out of the incubator)
1. In the third segment, about 70 seconds into it, Lynn begins to discuss the Acquired Motion, but I think it is just a mis-statement, he said "before in the Acquired Motion" (I think this should be Basic Motion) that it was either left arm pull or right arm push.... Not a biggie, I just want to make sure I didn't turn left when everyone else turned right. It should have been Basic Motion?
2. Jeff your waggle at address, on the Total Motion it appears that it is with the club above the ball at start whereas for the Basic and Acquire, the club head appeared to be at ground level. Is this normal, if so what is the reason or was this because of this being a demonstration?
3. What starts your waggle? Does the Tempo of your waggle relate to the shot at hand?
4. Jeff do you have a plane shift? I ask because in the first segment, you take a practice motion and then on your actual stroke it appears that you go to the spot, shoulder height, then up a bit to the top/end? Something on the order of single shift or maybe a double shift.
5. On Basic Motion, some of the shots appear as if the bending of the right wrist is increase at either the end of the back stroke or at the beginning of the down stroke. Is this something you try to do or is this, for the lack of a better words, some form of loading/setting to max out the distance on Basic Motion?
By the way, your shot looking at the camera while hitting was really impressive.
Thanks again for you time and effort in providing this great video series.

Yes, Martee, the same thing jumped out at me. As we moved into the Acquired Motion segment, I briefly summarized the immediately preceding Basic Motion and mistakenly said "Acquired" instead of "Basic." Oh well, the joys of the 'live' presentation! Fortunately, I later made a similar reference and got it right.
For the record, the Basic Motion (Stage One) is all about the Basic Body Positions, the Power Package alignments and the Arm Accumulators. The Acquired Motion (Stage Two) introduces Body Motion and the Hand Action Accumulators. The Total Motion (Stage Three) moves toward unrestricted motion, but still at less than full Power until alignments are perfected.
Stage Three is done first with the Middle Irons and then repeated with the Long Irons and Woods. Consequently, as Homer Kelley described it to me, there are actually five Stages in the Basic Motion Curriculum, not three.

Hold up . . . wait a minute . . .
Did you just admit a MISTAKE? A little birdie told me you don't do that???

Lynn,
Are there any areas of golf that interest you outside of TGM?
Is there an update on your trip to the Titleist Performance Institute?
What did you think about the 3-D technology?
I've been following your website from afar and wanted express my gratitude for taking this site light years ahead of the old TGM forum with the addition of the videos. The guidance and commentary that you have provided to the little yellow book has been amazing. I think HK wrote the book the only way it could have been, but in order to translate some of the concepts, these ideas just need further discussion.
If pictures are worth a thousand words, than your videos would be worth a million. It's easy to dismiss basic and acquired when just reading TGM, but to watch and feel these small swings has taught me more about the golf swing than anything I've done before. I was recently on a business trip and noticed the new videos with Jeff. I downloaded them and watched them while flying at 30,000 feet for 2 hours on the way home. Beat the heck out of any in flight movie I must add.
Once again, thank you so much for your contributions to understanding the golf swing. I look forward to the growth this site and lifting more of the fog.
