No Free Bowl of Soup with that Hat
 

Hey, Burley. Wheres your hat?

Saving it for the grand finally when I am completed with the changes. Then I will bust out my Hogan gear, maybe by Halloween!

Boo,

BurleyGolf-

serious
 

A) You don't get good by copying someone else's swing and
B) That right hand is off at the top, off halfway down, off after impact.

Mike

Do you mean
A) copying someone else's positions?
B) off plane or off the handle?

And why so serious all of a sudden? Did Bucket call you a Boogernose again?

Yes
Off the handle baby!
Yes

A New Light
 

Do you mean to tell me I should stop smoking Chesterfield cigarettes? After all it was the brand that Hogan smoked.

Good eyes. DTL Video.

Over bends the Right Elbow and Cocks the Right Wrist. It crowbars the Right Hand off the Grip at the Top but ya can't see it until the Startdown.

Hmm? A few more corrections are added to the mix.

Yo, Burely, Did you mean Halloween 2010?

Trick or Treat,,

Thought Yoda might like this one, for the way I am getting that shaft right back up the plane after impact. Great finish swivel action! KC pointed that out to me..

I like that a lot Blake. Yoda made me understand how important re-planing and the finish swivel is and it has been very helpful to my students. I have still been having a little trouble myself, but I found a great book on fitness and stretching that shows some stretching exercises I can do to help fix my problem with a stiff pair of shoulders.

Kevin

Thai massage works pretty good too, them girls are stong.

looks like rubber shafts and/or some significant throwaway:)

What KC didn't point out is that you acquired your Finish Swivel Alignments at Impact.

You're starting to show great improvement. It's interesting to follow.

Your Right Shoulder is traveling Down Plane. That looks great. But it's not Traveling Down Plane far enough. I think that's because the Right Hip is interfering; getting in the way. Clear it out of the way. But How?

You're running out of right arm at Impact because your Right Hip is interfering with your Right Shoulder. This is causing your Right Wrist to Flatten and it's interfering with your Hinge Action. I can see this from both views and there's no doubt that it's slowing your Hands through the Impact Zone. You aren't getting out of your swing the effort you're putting into it.



You don't yet have the Flat Left Wrist/Bent Right Wrist etched into your Cerebral Cortex. Burn it in. Allow me to explain.

We know that the Flat Left Wrist/Bent Right Wrist are key to the Flying Wedges and Hinging and 3 dimensional Impact. We also know that Horizontal Hinging has longer travel than Angled Hinging. The Flat Left Wrist/Bent Right Wrist must stay intact for the full length of that travel while it's rotating around the Hinge Pin. So, for about 3 inches or whatever, after Impact, your right wrist needs to remain as bent as it was at Impact. See Impact Fix.

Educated Hands

Use the knowledge in your Hands. Keeping the Flat Left Wrist/Bent Right Wrist intact will SHOW you how far the Right Shoulder needs to Travel Down Plane. It also will show you how much Right Elbow bend is needed at impact. Your Hands can educate your pivot to comply with the Wedges and Hinging. Don't allow the Pivot to interfere with the Flat Left Wrist/Bent Right Wrist condition.

The best solution will come from your Educated Hands. The Hands (NOW) know what to do and your Pivot knows what to do. Allow your Hands to adjust the Pivot to comply. Alignment Golf.

Alignment Golf is far better than what our respected colleagues on the west coast (AKA, Left coast Witch-doctors) teach such as using speed to create alignments. If they change speed, their alignments go as wacky as they are. Alignments and 2-M-2; "TGM, it's the New Old Fashion Way".

Brilliant observations Daryl. PAY ATTENTION BLAKE!

Kevin

I agree with what you are saying and I will take serious note of what you are saying. My brain is mush when I get more than two things to work on, so I will start pushing this into my cortex slowly. My main objective right now is to get the left knee rotating outside my left foot while maintaining head position and straiting the left leg. I believe after yesterday day since this was my first time to work on this it was not bad, but I need more lateral motion before transition and it will keep the right shoulder from passing the lowpoint and give me more axis tilt (Extension).

I like your post much better here, explaining how and why is always important... Thank You..

Little bit of Today's Practice...

I love that hat. It keeps your head real steady. I gotta get one.

I have lead tape on the inside of my hat "4 Strips" in the front and "2 strips" in the back so, to keep my head down about 0.5 seconds longer @ the right angle...:happy3:

Stationary Head and Primary Lever with Hinge Action

Look at the #3 pp on that girl. Looks like a thruster to me as well.

OMG she is swinging left. Who does she work with?

HaHa..Thats awesome! Is that your baby? She looks precious.. Here is mine..

Angled Hinge in takeaway just like her daddy. I got one too so Im not saying its a genetic defect or anything. Hey maybe we're related Burl?

My girls are out on the town tonight it being Halloween, man it seems like yesterday that they were that small. Mine are 12 and 14 now and still cute little girls in my eye. Although the 12 year old went to a spin the bottle party last night. Im still in shock. Must take after her mother, Im thinking.

I don't know who this is or where the Pic was taken or the age of the pic or little girl.

It's amazing that she demonstrates so many TGM components and concepts perfectly. Look how she cleared the Right Hip.

Weight shift
Hip action
Stationary Head
Primary Lever
Balance

She must be trained. She's swinging a lever and shows no inclination to make the clubhead strike the ball.

This is a pro-quality or better pivot. She looks to be about 7 years old.

I still cant believe Tiger won the Open when he was 6 years old. Amazing.

I still think that is the best video ever and the new golf method video I saw the other day by?? is pretty funny too.

Dude are you making fun of Canadians? People from Canadia in your speak. That is a serious methodology up here my friend. Very serious. Here is one for you, my American gas factory friend from the south.

LoL.. FART-MAN

Wow.. Golf hole with Paddy off a moutain!

BG-

Quick question! I have been working on the feel of the Flying Wedge in full swing before I shot my LAST video for the Hogan Project. My fear with this was a couple of things; 1) I feel like this is holding it off. 2) I feel like I am going to swing down the line to long. I noticed doing some mirrow work that I actually swing it more left and quicker with the Flying Wedge and the ball seems to be compressed with no left misses. Very interesting to me, and wanted to express what I am feeling to Dayrl, O.B. K.C. and who ever else wants to chime in...

Basicly everything else in the swing is the same except on the down swing I just know I am going to feel or finish the same way as I chip except the finish is going to be longer. I played a few holes this afternoon and could see a difference.

I wonder if you're feeling the down and out from impact to lowpoint. "swing down the line too long" is sometimes how that feels to me. I don't know if it's the same for you.

Daryl,

Could it simply be the difference between swinging with horizontal hinging, and hitting with angled. Angled hinging and hitting feels much more structured to me, and centrifugal force doesn't sling the club out and up as much after low point for me as it does when I HH.

Kevin

Hmm? I just don't know the answer. Thrust is down plane and down the line.

I was trying to explain this to Jeff Evans earler and came up with a better expression of my feel. I feel if though I never release the right wrist bend and the right arm extends out fully.

I might put it on video tomorrow to explain what I am trying to do or feel I am doing and see if it is going in the correct direction or I might be going in the wrong direction.

The feel right now is the photo of Tiger below but, I am not stoping there I keep going but feel that the impact angle is still being held.

BurleyGolf-

That's my feel. Except, that's how I swing the Club.

If you truly did feel the former before the latter then you would be flipping.

Here is what I was trying to say but in Video to my feel and what I am trying to do..

Are you a Hitter? Forgive me for asking such a terrible question. It's as painful to ask as I'm certain it is to answer.

1. Angled Hinging (7-10)
2. Simultaneous Release (4-D-0)
3. Grip Rotation (7-2)
4. Single Wrist Action (10-18-C-2)
5. Active Right Elbow (7-20)
6. Fixed Lag Pressure Point (“10-11-0-3”)
7. Radial Acceleration (10-19-A)
8. Axe Handle Technique (6-F)
9. Slow Start Down (6-B-1)
10. Angle of Approach (2-J-3)
11. Right Arm/Hand Paddle Wheel motion


Say it ain't so Joe.

Of course Blake's a hitter. He's one of the good guys! :laughing9

Kevin

OMG. I'm slow. I'm always the last to know. Home, Work, Life and now LBG.com

So not to be difficult but you might be aware I am not a TGM instructor or know the book very well. I am guessing that this is my swing componets explained? My question is am I moving in the right direction?

I played a tournament today and shot 76 with 4 birdies, I missed 1 fairway and hit 12 greens. My misses where all left and my good shot either playing a small littlefade or a small little push draw. I went to persimmon 1 week ago and played it today, I hit itlonger than I do with metal woods but the carry is a tad bit less.

My feel on the golf swing its self is that my stance is open, weight more on the right at address 40/60, my back swing or shoulder movement is like SnT, if I want to hit cuts I start my turn then open the hell out of the club the rest of the way tot he top and as I start the down swing the only thing I try to do is hold that wedge till finish, feels like I am pushing the handle through impact.
