3. Have Correct Information-where the book comes in
4. Ability to Absorb and Apply-1-J Let Mechanics produce, let Feel reproduce.

Overcomming "past untruths" TGM has had to live with, should be front and center: it is strictly a method, strictly mechanics, it didn't help Clampett, etc.

A video presentation of different motions is a great idea. I remember Rick Smith did the same thing at a PGA Teaching Summit and it had a dramatic affect on the audience. Not that I am a Rick Smith fan, but his point was well taken.

Bagger, you should have let me know earlier. Bucket already has backstage passes.
Having thought, about video, if your going for hitting vs swinging, I don't know if it would be the best idea, as both motions can look the same.

Maybe some still frames of Kenny Perry 10-5-E drive out action, and somehow prove to the audience that the ball went straight (what other instruction will tell you how and why the ball went straight?).

Or maybe you could rip off some CBS Konika/Minolta Swing Vision footage and say, " Look folks, one of these days, Kostis is going to have to admit, publically on the air, that by gosh the player did make a descending blow with his driver."
