First of all, as a Novice and a 100% believer in TGM, I would like to report my right forearm is functioned so well that a 6-iron club head speed achieved 89-92 mph with around 180 yards. It is not heard before the magic of right forearm as so many pros taught using left shoulder; left arm to bring the club back and forward.
It is the book and Yoda let me know so many seem as if golf tips really don’t work. For example, take the club slow and low; swing along the target; keep the club face square to the target line as long as possible; return the club to the back of the ball; cocking of your wrists for power; don’t use your hands in golf; strong grip to cure slice etc etc…IMHO, that is really those tips made a potential good golfer to become a hacker.
Now, as I have visited TGM related web sites for one year, day and night, I learnt so much and saved so many materials. In fact, I had printed out a photo showing two highly respected G.S.E.D. smiling faces taken at a golf school. I guess that will be the last one since seem as if disagreement on some points of the book. Then, Band-Aid; Kool-Aid…Is there any first-aid to reunion the TGM family?
Back to the point, I came across a web site with information regarding pro and con of head movement and still head.

After I read that many times and correlated back to this argument, I come to my conclusion as follows;-
As my uncertain understanding, I always think that 3 essentials and 3 imperatives are concerning prior to impact and follow-through (correct me if I am wrong).
As per Homer’s Notes put forwarded by Chuck:
The Physics of Rotation - The body acts like a rotor. Any rotating mass will make every effort to move on plane and on line. You must tilt the axis in the downstroke to bring the shoulder down plane. I.e.; leave the head still and move the bottom of the spine to create the 2nd axis tilt, sliding the hips.
I got 2 words to check with the dictionary: Stationary and Still
Sorry for wasting your time if you don’t understand me coz of poor English as a Chinese.
Too often tho the talent aspect is not given enough weight.
Oh ya that's a part of it for sure. U gotta weigh in technique too tho. These guys rose to the top for a reason. On this one, the answer prolly is somewhere in the middle I realize.....I mean, I'm not gonna say talent doesn't do anything.
The best argument from what I can see still has to be what works best for you.
