The "false flip" A left wrist that is bent at address, impact and throughout the back swing, but where there is still lag pressure. As long as the shaft end of the club is pointing ahead of the swing center. Not the left shoulder, but the real swing center.
Also excellent points Sir. Geometrically flat rather than the appearance of flat? You guys are wonderful contributors to our journey!

The "punch flip". A left wrist that is still arched or flat at impact, but in a process of bending. There will still be lag pressure. One cold argue that this flip will work as a 5th accumulator, but there will be an unbalance in the rhythm that must be negotiated. I push hard on pp#1 & pp#3 through impact. If I don't keep the left side moving I get this kind of flip. There's still a lot of lag pressure, but the divot is deep and sometimes there isn't plenty of lag pressure
I think this is my personal flip. With a little luck and timing, the ball still goes. BTW, I also have a nice sway that this all goes with -- probably a carryover from baseball. If all my timing is on, I can hit it pretty well. When it's not...
It was the desire to build a consistent swing this past spring that lead me here. I was trying to follow the Haney Essentials, but that was screwing my game up something fierce. I found video clip of Lynn and it just made sense to me. Now, I'm in need of drill time but want to play whatever time is left weather wise.
Like learning any physical activity, it's going to be in stages. I feel like I'm on the verge of breaking through to the next plateau and am looking forward to it!
Brian, I am like you - a flipper for 42 years (I'm 55 now), that is, if I actually hit the ball. And also like you, I wear bifocals (very thick lenses too), but I don't need bifocals to look at the ball on the ground. But unlike you, I have yet to discover what true compression looks and feels like. I am not a long hitter at all (drives <200 yards and sliced, 8i 90 yards, pw 60 yards). I average 44 putts per round too. That all needs to change in 2011 big time.
I have KevCarter, JerryG and others helping me with Basic Motion right now. Even that is difficult to avoid throwaway (see my YouTube videos under jkpassage).
You are in the right place. While the information is often highly technical, just glean what you can and go from there.

Stay with it -- it is very much worth it!
I normally wear contacts, but have them out preparing for eye surgery. I have't played golf in regular glasses ever, let alone bifocals! You basically either tilt your head to see through the proper part of the lens or the ball is very distorted. Neither optimal...
I actually enjoy the technical aspects of TGM. I'm in marketing and product development, but I started my career as a systems analyst -- understanding broad processes by decomposing them into components and then designing new processes and systems. TGM is tailor-made for my personality.
I know exactly what you mean by hitting a Pinnacle with a 5 Iron onto a concrete green. Trick Shot.
