I told you that I have a friend at Royal Melbourne. We should make a school happen "downunder".

I did and it was very enjoyable. Another little nugget from the Blake mine of G.O.L.Fing Gold.

Thanks, Burner. I've been reading your name -- and each post! -- ever since I started this cyber-journey (on the old Golfing Machine website) in January 2004.

Thanks for reading...and thanks for all your support these past three years.

Thanks Lynn for the time and effort to put that together. It was a long hauler from go to print but we got there. Thanks too for the photographers who did a great job.

Hello Paul Smith,

Thanks for your patience as you pushed this project to, first, bubble up through the myriad of other 'important urgencies' on my end. Then, through its gestation period as we awaited publication on your end.

The Good News:

Despite the 'tyrannies of time' on both ends of the spectrum and on two ends of the world, we got it done.

Yay!

The photos were done at the LBG Academy at Old Waverly, presented with V. J. Trolio at his magnificent club in West Point, Mississippi. The photograher I pressed into service?

None other than our own Ted Fort!
Men of many talents
Nice work, Lynn.

Yoda quote from Paul Smith interview:

Originally Posted by Yoda
As I’ve said, the right forearm and trigger finger control the plane of motion by tracing the baseline of the plane – normally the target line – through impact. The forefinger senses the pressure created by the drag of the lagging club (specifically, the sweetspot), and it directs this lag pressure feel directly toward and along the line. Meanwhile, the left wrist remains perpendicular to the ground. It appears to roll through impact, but it is not independently twisted. Because the left wrist does not swivel – again, it simply remains perpendicular to the ground – the clubface closes uniformly. It does not over-roll and, and unless otherwise intended, it does not lay back. So, control of the clubhead orbit and lag pressure is a right hand function. Control of the clubface is a left hand function.
Perpendicular to the ground? Isn't that only with vertical hinging?

thanks, dp
This is at IMPACT Rumbler,with horizontal hingeing the clubface would be closing (roll).If it were laying back it would be vertical hingeing.
thanks for the answer sir. That would still leave room for the forearm clubshaft lever to be on plane and the left wrist (fingers) pointing somewhat vertical to the ground, yet still not have the wrist totally uncocked at impact.


that is what I'm thinking anyway. Will do more research.

I'm a bit confused. Why would the left wrist NOT be totally uncocked at impact?

see 2-P. The wristcock, first chapter


I keep on studying.. each bit helps. I can perform the hinge actions (short shots) but it is the understanding of specific concepts, whether HKs or others, that will take me to the next level.

Rumbler,

Your reply indicates that you do not yet understand the Hinge Action concept. That's not unusual...it is a paradigm for Clubface Control unique to The Golfing Machine. But...not to worry! Go to The Gallery and watch my free videos on the subject. They will help clear the fog.

A must read for anyone interested in TGM or anyone interested in improving their game. Homer couldn't have said it any better.
