GD really screwed up- or at least the art director. The largest pictures in the article were to show 'feel.' How obsurd.
Agree, absolutely absurd, ruined the article in my opinion.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
Gotta say that the "cult" comment about put me off cool aide! I allowed both my Golf Digest and Golf World subscription to expire (my wife was jubilant.) I will buy a copy from the news stand when they feature Yoda, or another sincere Kelley disciple. What aggravates me is that although there is an obligatory nod to The Golfing Machine, they retool the lingo to suit the "my way" approach. I do not expect them to reference the book as expertly as Yoda and Ben Doyle do but doctors don't reinterpret what Gray's Anatomy standardized, right? There is no profit in it; and patients would probably die! There is too much transliteration for the purpose of marketing out there. Perhaps I am bitter but a great many so-called swing gurus appear like "occultists" to me, by the way they shroud their secrets in a mystical fog of semantics.
A Memorial Day anecdote. I passed the "burger flipper" to my 8 year old son over the weekend, making him my BBQ aide decamp. I discovered that flipping burgers is not as easy as one one would think! We lost some ground, and beef before I introduced him to the hands controlled pivot! I explained that if he focused on turning the burger over with the spatula that it would make the task tougher, but if he focused on turning his hand over, palm down that the spatula would comply. "Flip the spatula with the pressure points in your hands, young padawan!"
Back to my tirade...Ironically, and sadly the quick-fix tendency of homo sapiens, and the committment to study and incubation that TGM demands relegates Homer Kelley disciples to the "few in the know", making TGM seem like the Illuminati! Real thought, not merely rearranging your predjudices, is the hardest of all work someone once said.
I raise a flat left wrist and and a bent right to Yoda for making his teaching MESSAGE centered as opposed to MESSENGER centered. Beside my own (which I nurture) I find egoism repugnant!
Okie
PS I shed a tear when upon returning from a session on the range, my son asked "How those flying wedges, Dad?"
………..S & T golfer is in the last group at the US Open.
Do you really thing that the mass of the public would hear or understand what flying wedges are? That is for teachers to know. The average player just wants to hit it well. At the most they just want to know how to get rid of the worst miss on the course. Once you have the success of this than you can (spoon feed) them with small doses of information.
One of the best coaches in my area does not use video or gets into much other than ball flight. He works with some very good players on the tour. John Mallinger and Merrick are a few. He is very big into keeping the players cool and organized. Andy and Mike I know do just this, with the TGM background to fit.
So my big say in all this good and bad of stack and tilt. It is more of the growth and being organized with the situations that are being dealt. Many of the guys that have been with me for over two years or more are now products of the environment they are in. I am in hopes that it’s positive for winning events. That will also reflect the information that is being spoken weather its TGM or Morad. I also however don’t have the chapter and verse background of TGM.
