Saw a brief few minutes of Academy Live last night and Martin Hall, Moran Pressel's teacher, was on with her. I know he is an AI and presented a lot of TGM stuff in the few minutes I saw. Don't think he actually mentioned TGM (too bad) but the teaching was pretty much out of the book---talked about swing plane,clubhead throwaway, the hands controlling the clubface,etc. I just wish that he, or Chuck Cook, or any of the other "closet AI's" would speak up about TGM on TV----just ONCE!

Saw that too. He was actually talking about "the Circle lying on a Plane." Amazing!
Did you guys noticed how turned Morgan Pressel's Left Hand was. She's the poster girl for 10-2-D. He was saying how that even with "a hookers grip (no pun intended)" that she hit it straight because her hands controlled the face inspite of the grip. He said "it's only a hooker's grip if you hook it." But 10-2-D actually lends itself to cut shot procedures anyway.
I found it interesting that he was saying that she should not have her "circle pointing to the right," but it seemed that he had her off-plane when he was running her through the drills.
He even mention the position of the Right Forearm too!!!
Pressel is a player. I like Martin Hall too even though no mention to the Book.
I took my GSEB class at Martins place and he actively participated in the class. He most definitley knows the machine and has put out a good book himself as well.
I suspect he knows what he is doing by not mentioning TGM because of the "good ol' boys club" and how they would probably say bye bye Mr. Hall. As long as people like him get out there and talk the talk the word will eventually get out to the masses.

great episode and makes me even a bigger believer in TGM because Pressel is a great ballstriker. I didn't know hall was TGM, but I knew he had to have been using it with all his examples with the lasers and such.
I liked how he talked about the shoulder to the back of the camera to help stop the flip. good visual.
I always enjoy watching Hall because he is a great communicator using visuals and aids. It was a very good episode, with clear TGM influence, although I didn't care much for the 'left 1, left 2' bit.
I did notice that when Morgan hit her 3 wood, she had a bit of throwaway, which was amusing because that was what they had just been discussing
Her pattern is very solid and is one that many people would do quite well to experiment with.
She could use some Clearkeys.... it seems to me that she is the only one standing in her way at times. She can let her emotions get the best of her quickly and Clearkeys would help a ton
I picked up a copy of Martin's book for a mere $6.00, including shipping, from a reseller on Amazon.com. Best 6 bucks I have spent in awhile.

It is called
Martin Hall's Golf Myths Exposed.
There are two available at the moment on amazon.

The book is splattered with drills and TGM in layman's terms.
Martin Hall is interviewed by Chuck Evans here

In
that world The Golfing Machine® is a book publisher and an education institute and nothing else. May be interpreted such that it does not give MH either right or reason to speak for it.

In one of his appearances, I made the connection but only after studying TGM and just happened to have his book. My copy is a Copyright 2003 PGA TOUR Partners Club from a used book store at $1.99. There is a "Garden Chat" introduction in the book where he acknowledges different instructors but nothing on TGM.
One example of "TGM in layman's terms"
Keeping the right wrist bent is associated with keeping the body engaged in the shot. With the left hand removed and the right hand just above the shaft, a small empty water bottle is placed between the grip and the wrist-forearm area to "set the correct wrist bend needed." Swings are made without crushing the bottle.

I sat next to Martin for 3 days at one of Mac's Symposiums in Orlando...Smart guy...Very Nice as well...That's his greatest strength...peoples skills...perhaps Mac should've "bartered" with him .....Just Kidding!!!
EdZ,
When they talked about flipping, It looked like he was talking about over rolling not actual throwaway. She may have had some throw in her in that 3 wood swing, I did not see that swing.
My GSEB class was also at Martins place. Very nice guy. He as a huge collection of training aids at his place.
martin talked about a good laser he had gotten to trace the baseline does anyone have a link for a good lazer im in the market for one thanks

He sells different types of laser trainers like this one

I like this one because you can use it anywhere without smashing the place up and you can also monitor the butt end of the club on the second part of the backstroke , first part of the downstroke and followthrough swivel. Like a lot of good ideas it is simple.

Over rolling (or what I would call off Rhythm/Plane rotation) is a clubFACE issue. Flipping (throwaway) is a clubHEAD issue.
I'd certainly bet Martin has quite a training aid collection, and from everything I have seen, he knows how and when to use each one.
All good people credit their sources(this gives them even more credibility), but in this case Hall would never get another spot on TV if he did, maybee he can slip it in another time. The click group would feel threatened by TGM Martino, McClean, Leadbetter etc.
Chris,
You are truly a golf nut. That was one of the funniest things I've ever read. Keep tearing things up..the more you struggle, the better you'll get. I used to do the same.
4Barrels,
You are right again. The Golf Disgust crew will always be intimidated by TGM. Let's keep sneaking up on them. Then we'll storm the castle and save Golfdom from the evil trolls.

Bill : That is going to happen one day . It is a pity that the TGM organisation is not set up in an "All for one ,One for all" type of way because I feel if it was the storming would start sooner rather than later.
I believe Martin is using the MEGSA equipment with his students I know he has the machines at his facility.

The Megsa equip was invented by Mike Bender and some his friends...it's great stuff...I'm gonna get the Putting Machine..it's a litle too pricy....
Martin is a great guy...sat next to him for 3 days at a MORAD Convention...hahaha!!!!
He's well versed in all the denominations and can preach to what ever choir or crowd he's infront of of...No Problemo..that's how you survive out there....
Not only was Martin on The Golf Channel, he is in the December 2005 issue of Golf Magazine, page 73. He is discussing your grip.
I also met him at The St. Augustine class. Nice fellow. Good sense of humor.
