What a Drag it is getting bold!!!
 

Where else but here can you have you host look danger eye to eye to get his point across.

That was a funny instruction video with a lot of heart.

It's a rare thing to see the instructor and the ehhh... "golf club" enjoying it that much.

Subject Matter Matters
 

Threadjacking is diverting a thread from its original purpose. It is usually unintentional, and I myself am a serial offender, although I'm far more attentive to the phenomenon than I was earlier on.

That said, I unintentionally threadjacked my own Golf Channel Instructor thread -- mea culpa! -- by including the original Pit Bull post there. I corrected that error after I saw what was happening and moved my 'offending' post (and all its followups) into its own well-deserved thread.

Since the earlier part of the original video contained material not relevant to my original purpose and had begun to spawn its own irrelevant (to the thread) comments, I deleted that portion (author's privilege!). The information explained and demonstrated in that segment deserves its own thread for discussion, and in fact has enjoyed that light in these pages. It was obvious that you were unaware of these existing threads, and that is why I directed you specifically to them. But, also why I included a request that further discussion of the material presented in that segment be conducted elsewhere.

Do not take these measures as censure. Far from it. I admire and applaud your quest for knowledge. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if an active poster hasn't threadjacked on numerous occasions, he's really not on his game! It's just best for all concerned if we keep information on specific subjects -- and particularly on the more important ones -- as concentrated as possible.

:salut:

It was nice of you to explaine this in even more detail. I understand what you are saying. The downside is that I miss this first part because I tried it out and it felt rhythmical and comfortabel, but then I got confused on what it actually represented - that is now cleared up - and since it is not TGM related it probably doesn't contribute in any meaningful way? Too bad - I thought I was on to something. But it resembles when Rick Murphy was doing his gras cuter thing and what you yourself were teaching?: (5.30 minutes into the video)

so it must be good for something !?

Now . . . Where Were We?
 

You draw the wrong conclusion.

The information I presented and demonstrated is extremely valuable. That is why Bob MacDonald published its basis in 1927 and why I resurrected it eighty years later in this private video (2007). It is also why I referred you to the originating illustrations and thread on this site.

Any motion golf-like is "TGM related". That's because TGM catalogs and explains all motions "golf-like". However . . .

I live and teach what has now become my own brand: Alignment Golf. I am proud of its basis in the principles and procedures of TGM and especially of my personal relationship with its author, Homer Kelley. But, my day-to-day work synthesizes my lifetime in golf: My exposure to its history; the players and the teachers of generations past and present; and the wide diversity of opinion that is always there.

This is what my students want.

This is what they need.

And, this is what they get.

And now . . .

Back to our regular programming!

I see.

Thanks again.

Pqwerful lag and drag ...does that power empower a stronger EA?
 

So, trying to logically fit-in a missing piece, not thread-jacking, I wondered if a heavy wet mop, or a playful, determined dog does not just cause extra strong Extensor Action.
Extra EA, hold the mayo, seems to help me on almost every shot save the driver and 3 wood/metal. They like a looser shoulder/arm combination, from me.

Are you encouraging a heavier EA when you encourage more lag and drag?
