The GOAL of a golfer is to get the club head properly oriented and moving on the optimal path with the highest possible velocity. When the mass of the club head meets the mass of the ball MOMENTUM is transfered from the club head to the ball. Everything else is bullcaca.
Is "Bullcaca" a Physics Term?
It's about time someone said that (but don't use "highest possible velocity" short putts). That's exactly what I was going to say. Except the last paragraph needs a few words about the Clubface motion through the Impact Zone otherwise I'll be talking to the Drink Cart Girl while you're looking for your ball.
scotty, get me an email, Stevie is still interested in taking the cube for GAA.
Everyone else, I think that biomechanics are one more piece to the jig saw. Scotty knows his stuff, play nice or he'll disappear. He has plenty of good stuff to share.

GPStyles,
I am having trouble deciding if Scotty's posts are an additional piece of the puzzle, or being disrespectful to what we are here to learn. Your post is allowing me to give him the benefit of the doubt a little longer...

Kevin,
My aim isn't to be disrespectful to anyone or Homer.
Homer has great information.
Kevin I had an accident which ended my playing career, when I made a come back I shot 108. I went to the best TGM coaches and no one could help me, my back hurt when I swung the club and couldn't hit it.On video my swing looked awesome geometry wise. I realized there was another piece to the puzzle and went searching and discovered biomechanics and physics. Now I can shot par and below, my back doesn't hurt any more cause I know how to use my body effectively. My issues were physics. I don't blame the coaches they were geometry not physics.
Even with my own students they weren't getting great results when I taught them TGM, there was a missing puzzle.
I'm wanting to share with golfing world another piece to the puzzle and if we are all honest with ourselves there is a missing piece of the puzzle. All I'm trying to do is share the missing puzzle.
Brian Gay has good physics I can tell you this first hand he had been doing this for the last 14 years before he went to TGM.
Greg Norman Has great Physics, Els, Price and Faldo all the greats had good Physics and we taught Physics.
Most of the top coaches call us in behind the scenes to give teach their students movement patterns ( physics).
Kevin all I'm doing is speaking the truth and reality, it's up to each person to how they perceive this. As I said I want to share the full story.
Kevin coaches our welcome to come and learn our world and then incorporate this into their teaching.
My goal one day is this will be become part of the PGA teaching curriculum for the better of the game.
OK . . . . I think this thread has some potential. But I would suggest we focus the discussion here. Let's forget about how screwed up you think TGM is as a book or as a discipline.
How about let's discuss what you have learned since your surgery and what you are teaching now. I'm interested for sure. All the TGM debate is going to go down a path that just leads to a bunch of tired arguments we've already seen before.
So what are you doing in your motion now that has allowed you to play pain free at a high level? And did golf screw up your back in the first place?
