At the point where VJ is demontrating the different plane line/stance line/target line combos he mentions that for draw shot he traces a straight plane line with a closed stance, but with the clubface aimed at the target. It is likely that I have missed something, but when using a horizontal hinge for the purpose of hitting a draw shouldn't the face be slightly open? Conversely the angled hinge for the fade should have the clubface slightly closed, yes?
V.J. and I originally envisioned the first disc as a "Basic Motion / short game" video. For those who have seen the DVD, it obviously became far more. Hence, I did not demonstrate a Total Motion Stroke until the situation called for it (Left Wrist Throw Drill / Disc #2).
Nevertheless, there are plenty of Release / Impact / Follow Through alignments explained and demonstrated throughtout the Series.
How tall is Lynn Blake, well look at my avatar. How tall am I?

True. But watching expert execution of a right forearm takeaway with a centered and stationary head is fun...as well as encouraging!
I have only watched the putting DVD once. My initial question is whether my putting stroke should influence my selection of putter type. For example, if using a shoulder only stroke with horizontal hinging would a heel/toe balanced putter be better?? Conversely, if I am using a push basic stroke with vertical hinging would a face balanced putter work better?? Or is it all just a matter of preference?? Thanks.
I was lucky enough to receive one of the MMOC cd's and it is refreshing to know that Lynn has not changed his TGM approach to teaching the golf swing.
VJ demonstates the basic motion but only with a push hitting action - Can basic motion be done as both a hit and a swing? The motion is so short I am not sure if it comes into play.

Thanks for your comments, mb. As always, I appreciate them!
That said, I disagree that V.J.'s Basic Motion action is a Push Basic Stroke. Personally, I think he demonstrates both the Hitting and Swinging strokes with a Fanning Right Elbow -- which suggests, at a minimum, a Punch Basic Stroke -- and this negates the Push Basic Stroke. It cannot be both.
I think that if you saw a Stroke with the Right Elbow kept 'up and out' -- versus 'at the side' or 'down in front' -- and with the Hands kept between the Elbow and the Ball, you would see a tremendous difference.
