We (or he) may just choose a different path . I have mentioned to him this site but he doesnt work well with computers. I completely agree but from everyone i have talked to about TGM the general concenses (SP) is its too difficult to understand. I still have to sit back for a bit and process what i just read. Thats why i do not participate in alot of topics, i would rather sit back and learn from whats stated then after i have better understanding of things I will participate. Almost immediatly after he maintained the alighments he started with he was compressing the ball very well and the trajectory was more playable. I was a student of his for well over 3 years and durring that time i aquired several bad habits from his advice and some of which i still fight today. Thats not because he is a bad teacher as a matter of fact 100% of the problems were my fault either because of misunderstanding or stubborness. I really respect his teachings but i have come to understand there is a better way for me. I have never pushed TGM onto him and when he asked i gave him just some pieces of the puzzle. I see lots of negative comments above and i asked for them so i cannot complain, however I thought I was doing a good thing by giving him a small intro to TGM hoping it may intrigue him. Turns out he is interested in it and even called me today and thanked me for the advice. I completely agree there are more ways to kill a snake and not every way works for everyone. I have found a method that has structure to it and checkpoints throughout unlike general teaching where the instructor pulls up a swing and then tries to get you into the same positions they are in, or when you go in for a lesson and you end up working on that the instructor is having problems with in his swing. Generally in this area teaching goes by lessons of the week. The insturctor finds something they think is the best and all of the lessons they give are similar to the last. I think that soon there will be alot of students in the area with right forearms on plane. I hope this post has not came across the wrong way to everyone. I thought i was doing the right thing by answering his problems and passing the info along to everyone so if i missed something or there were any suggestions on how to relate things to him better i could have done my homework the next time he asks me for a look. grapegoat View Public Profile Send a private message to grapegoat Find all posts by grapegoat
