Thanks for the welcome yoda! I live in Southern California. I'm 37 and I've been playing since I was 24. I attended the San Diego Golf Academy in 1996 when AJ Bonar was director of golf instruction. Unfortunately I was unable to finish the school due to a family emergency where I had to come home and run the family business. A few years later I attempted the PAT in Palm Springs and failed twice so I gave up on my true love which I deeply regret. I'm just a once-a-week golfer now trying to break through a 7 handicap for about 5 years now. I've had some success in golf. I won my Club Championship in 2002 and then choked in the Tournament of Club Champions later that year. I started hitting thin shots and a couple shanks and blew up my score (those seem to be my misses with the AJ method). Anyway, I'm very excited to be part of this group and I really enjoy your instruction (my wife gets a kick out of you too). Thanks again yoda for this site and for the DVDs.

After trying to decipher TGM materials from books, websites, forums and video's I had all but given up on trying to figure out this methodology and then this thread comes up.... I've asked for this DVD series for Christmas. I guess I'll give it another shot.

Give it another shot...and a little time! Don't forget to check out the gratis and non-gratis goodies on this site...although it does not get better than Alignment Golf. If you have not already check it out take a gander at "Dowels and Wedges" in the Gallery. It is still the best short lesson...EVER!
there is alot of talk about extensor action in the vids. i was wondering if extensor action is rather a push via right hand on the left thumb or a pull longitudinal wise towards the ground? Coz i can push on the left thumb or pull the left thumb down towards the ground at setup. me needs thee precision!
There is a pushing pressure against PP#1...but this in turn pulls the piece of string (left arm) straight! It is a below plane pulling of the left arm (unless #3Acc is zeroed out) If you want that stony compression sound you gotta have it. Without it your flying wedges are like a balsa wood shuttle re-entering the earth's atmosphere! It is a beautiful blend of geometry (flying wedges) and physics (extensor action)
I guess I'll give it another shot.
