TGM Basic Motion requires the Shaft Grip be positioned in the Lifeline of the Left Hand; Zero #3 Accumulator and no cocking of the Left Wrist. Therefore, a one Accumulator Stroke. It's a precision, "Primary Lever Only" stroke; secondary Lever is Zeroed out.
This same stroke pattern using a traditional Grip, address engineering would include an Uncocked Left Wrist.
Chip with an Uncocked Left Wrist and the Clubshaft will be (darn close) on the Turned Shoulder Plane.
Uncocking the Left Wrist at Address creates a Rigid Primary Lever, reduces Hand manipulation, lends an undisturbed Clubhead Radius, Soles the Clubhead evenly for superb Contact with the Ball and reduces heel-ground and toe-ground contact. It Eliminates wobble, keeps the Flying Wedges Intact and allows the Clubface to perfectly open during the Backstroke and perfectly close during the Downstroke and eliminates throwaway.
Using an Uncocked Left Wrist creates a Rigid Primary Lever for Body Power to pull through Impact; whether worked by the Pivot, or shoulders only, or a Left Arm Only Stroke. Uncocking the Left Wrist at Address increases your sensitivity to inertia. Clubhead Lag will have greater feel and you'll have ultimate control in choosing Angled or Horizontal Hinging. Choke down an inch or so.

Daryl,
As ever, an absolute mound of information covering all aspects of the basic motion in relation to chip shots. Nothing missing other than a direct answer to Stuts' question.
Nothing missing other than a direct answer to Stuts' question.
He's hitting the Ball on the Toe because he's Uncocking his left Wrist while his hands are slightly Rolled. As he Uncocks, the Clubhead travels below plane.
I can't become a Politician. A Politician knows very little about a lot of things. I know a lot about very little. So, I can only become a Lobbyist.
Sorry, the only reference allowed is "Go Stamps" the 2008 Champs.
No apology necessary, for some strange reason Ive cheered for the Stamps forever. Even though I dont live there. Maybe its the uniforms. The white mustang on the red helmet. This despite my eastern roots.........weird, I do like those inglorious cowboys. Heck Im a romantic, I guess. John Helton was a god amongst men. Wayne Harris I think, actually was god, until he bought a used car dealership upon his retirement.
Thanks for this.
PS Hope Im not "soiling" this post with this little ramble.
Thanks so much for your great replies to my "toe" question. As always, knowledge that is understood by the reader helps one get on the right path for success. Thanks, Stuts.
I have another question, if I may. How does the "uncocked left wrist" relate to the full swing. At what point in the take-away does the uncocked left wrist start its cocking motion? Thanks.
I've changed and now go to the End and Snap Load. I think it gives me a better feel for the Shaft being on-plane with a perfectly Flat Left Wrist. The snap at the end is a feeling of cocking. I'm sure that there must be a little sweep loading going on, but not much. What I also notice is that it helps with my start-down. I don't feel rushed and for reasons unknown to me, it kind of prevents the dreaded Hand Throw.
