I do not agree with Tommy's methodology here (except possibly as an exaggerated 'feel' to help keep the student's right shoulder ON Plane during the Start Down). I teach using the Pivot -- not the Arms -- to transport the Loaded Power Package to Release.

For the correct conception, go here to a post I wrote just yesterday:http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/showt...2185#post82185.

And, while we're discussing this video, Tommy also presents another confusing picture: A stick on the Clubface held vertical or horizontal has zero to do with the proper mechanics or conception of Hinge Action.

One of the reasons TGM is so confusing is that its Basic Concepts are often presented by well-meaning instructors in very confusing ways. Almost always, these bastardizations have little in common with Mr. Kelley's book. So many teachers, in an attempt to 'simplify', put in their own little 'twist' and thereby hopelessly mangle the concept.

In my opinion, it is far better to remain true to the original concept and way it is presented in the book. Communicated, of course, in each Instructor's own unique way (but not at the expense of the concept itself). But then . . .

That's just me.

What's wrong with Tommy's way to illustrate this? Doesn't the club face and the left wrist always point in the same direction - in these 3 types of hinging?
