Do you have film of it?

I do not, but I can get some later.

So say you are viewing your motion from down the line and you were able to put a dot on the screen where your hand are at address....do your hands come back to that dot or are they "out, up and away" from the dot?

You got it........definitely out and away. Not sure about up, but yes, I'm pushing them out. I'm also moving my right shoulder /hip / knee outwards towards the target line also which pushes everything "out". I think that's what Daryl was getting at earlier.

When you are doing your chipping...remember the clubhead is "thrown out" to the ball...for that to happen the buttcap if it had a light shinning out of it would have to start shining back towards your dingdong or your left pocket...could be your hands are to far out from the "dot" or that you have the light at the buttcap shooting at the target line too long....



post some film if you got it. That's one thing about your training with short shots....in your effort to "keep your left wrist flat and your right wrist bent" you forget or lose track that the accumulators RELEASE! .......

I'm embarrassed to say this, but I'm new to the TGM lingo, ideas, etc. I've learned a lot about hinge actions, pressure points, set-up, but I don't know what the power accumulators are yet. Haven't studied that yet but I'm working on it. So much info
here and so little time. Plus the site isn't the easiest to navigate. I'll get it though.



Also...could help for you to feel like that you have the sweetspot looking at the ball "longer" on the backstroke...keeping in mind that "aft" is only a dimple or so inside the centerline of the ball...so have the face look at the ball longer...

...good info.

Another thing to monitor is your set up...are you setting up with too much axis tilt (reverse K stuff)...get the buttons of your shirt up in front of the ball...maybe at set up feel like or actually set the buttons of your shirt infront of your zipper...you could also check your right elbow position...is it "pitchy"...set it up punch and power the chip more with your right elbow...left arm/shoulder/grip SOFT...get the club to throw out.

...hmmmm......i've been using the reverse K for a while. didn't realize that TGM was so anti-K. I did notice yesterday that my head was behind the ball. Need to work on that.

You can try to hit some chips with almost no grip pressure on your left pinky fanger...even hit some with it off...that will help you get the clubhead to be thrown rather than "placeed" or "jabbed".

gotcha. Thank you so much for your time.
