I agree... Homer said something (audio sometime somewhere) about "i don't care how you take it back..."...meaning it's all about transition - create lag sensation - then store and direct on the downswing...

Although I really appreciate Daryl's recent posts about a method that Homer does put forward amongst the text in which he describes a simple method ...eg. extensor action takeaway...but I am sure that he loved all swings from transition onwards as long as lag was involved!!

But if I were learning from scratch...I would take all of Homer's hints for a simple and repetitive action! and Daryl is currently giving us a "how to" hidden amongst the options ! Thanks Daryl!

What is a Pattern?:confused1

Quote:

CHAPTER TWELVE: For those mincing their way into golf, a Basic “Short Course” using Components 2, 3, 6, 10, 11, 18 and 19 from either 12-1 or 12-2 is recommended for a Starter Pattern. The rest of the Pattern can be added later – one Component at a time. Remember, continual improvement – not instant perfection – is the realistic program. A Stroke Pattern is a player’s selected “MOTION.” The Motion makes the Shots. As the Motion improves, shots improve – not vice versa.

When can we begin customizing our own Pattern, because I'm a unique individual and I feel more special if I have my very own?":)

Quote:

12-2-0 DRAG LOADING BASIC PATTERN (SWINGING) This Pattern is based on Chapter 10-19-C in the Component Catalog and is most useful to the more flexible players. Avoid “customizing” it with other Variations until it approaches the “expert” stage. Then follow 3-B.

But...But...But..., That's not what I want to hear.... Everyone on-line says that there are Trillions of stroke patterns and I get to pick one, so when do I get to pick one? I want my Own. :golf:

3-A TRANSLATION OF INSTRUCTION ......
This book presents the “uncompensated” Stroke as a goal, guide and progress report, not as the minimum entrance test. Compensation for physical limitation, personal preference or special purpose are actually specialized techniques. For ball behavior resulting from faulty execution, there is only one recommendable compensation – correction. Simply resist going out on the course until you know enough, regardless of where the Ball goes, to prefer trying to do it right rather than incur lifelong penalties for bad “compensation” habits.

So, there are trillions of "Compensated" Stroke Patterns. What are you going to do about them? Pick your own, or Homers?

As a TGM enthusiast, should I have a Pattern Goal?:golf:

Daryl,

Just curious if you prefer the basic patterns in the 6th or 7th Editions?

Thanks,
Kevin

The 6th. Somehow, those pages in my 7th no longer exist. :laughing9 :laughing9

Thanks Man, that's the answer I was hoping for...

Oh yeah, I definitely agree...

Method or System?

Yoda's "This is the Golfing Machine" introduction to the Rob Noel Class is a real jewel if you have not seen it or it has been awhile. In his introductory comments, he differentiates between TGM as a system and teaching methods which are characterized as being incomplete.
