False Advertising.

As a student of Ben Doyle, do you think some of Mr. Kelley's teachings were being misunderstood?
Either Misunderstood, or Ignored.

Do you feel Mr. Doyle was teaching his own theories rather than directly from the book?
Either he was teaching his own theory, or he misunderstood, or he ignored or maybe Bobby Clampett was learning his own theory despite what he was taught.

What do you feel constitutes a TGM swing?
Without the "Right Forearm Take-Away", "Magic of the Right Forearm" and "Extensor Action" and the "Right Forearm Flying Wedge", it's not a TGM Swing and almost none of the 24 components or their Variations apply or have the same meaning. People need to understand that TGM is a Method, not simply a Dictionary of Terms.

Bobby Clampetts Swing doesn't use any one of those Concepts. Not One. If he gets the Forearm on plane at all, it's only at impact.

Look; whoever did the analysis next to and below the pictures, knew that Bobby Clampett lost the Hands Controlled Pivot (Alignment Golf) at Start-up. He never recovered. Even I can tell that he doesn't use any of the Big Four. If you knew (I mean, when you learn,completely, and you will) the Big Four, you would know that too.

The Guy closest to a TGM swing was Ben Hogan. And even BH used a Shoulder Turn Take-away. Closest does not mean he was TGM.
