KevCarter put me on to these videos. He lent me his and I watched all 3 in one afternoon/evening. They are about as good as it can possibly get. The next day, I ordered a set for myself.
Congratulations!

Hooked on Classics
 

Welcome aboard Jerry. Good to have you here :salut: .

Keep watching, JerryG.

With every viewing, your Computer will take what it can and throw the rest in the Incubator. Your Incubator will give up its treasures only when it is ready, not one second sooner or later.

Soon, your progress will be measured by what you think about what we say . . .

And not by what we ourselves say.

That is when it gets really exciting!

Shivas Iron's True Gravity
 

Discovering from the Inside Out.

Genius!
 

DVD # 2 is pure genius! I like 'em all but sorting drills out into the three zones is just...GENIUS! I know TT's drills hit the seperate zones, but this is so comprehensive it stands by itself.

Nervous about empty xmas sock
 

Sent an email to customer service but no reply_probably turkey day related.

Can someone who is not a forum member order the DVD and are they still in stock_it is on my xmas list. Sorry if the question has been asked somewhere in the 175 and counting posts on this tread.

Also, what is the difference between Taly white @ $70 and red @$80_also on my list.

Thanks

DRW

I hope it is on stock. I ordered on this last friday. I did not get the impression there would be any problem.

Order right here in the Pro Shop. In stock. Yoda and VJs work on this is the best investment I have ever made in learning the golf swing, bar none.

Alignment Golf DVD Series Makes A Great Christmas Gift!
 

We have received our second printing of the DVDs, and sales continue at a brisk pace. The retail (NON-member) price is $99.95 and can be ordered directly from me at lynn@lynnblakegolf.com. If the purchase is for a member's Christmas gift -- :) -- then the member discounted price of $79.95 (plus shipping) applies.

Regarding the Taly, there is absolutely no difference in the white model other than its color (which I personally find attractive). It was originally a special promotion for a local golf course, and it was never taken down. When I ordered my first ten, I discussed the matter with Taly Williams, the inventor of the product, and he assured me that all other matters of quality and functionality were identical. So, that was my choice, and I was pleased with the order.

Have contacted Taly directly. The difference is in color only. other than that it is the smae as the black or red. IMHO a terrific training aid. hope you have a Merry Christmas. If you get the items you listed it will be and a Happy New Year, as well.

The incubator gets nutrients
 

Got the vid´s a couple of days ago. Really fast. By the drill dvd I have already got my incubator working http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/i.../icon_eyes.gif
:eyes:. The drill about the hipslide/bump that gets the rearshoulder on plane helped me solve a lot of problems. Not only howe to get on plane but also howe to diminish the arms in the swing and more secure get a lot of lag. Thank´s a lot for a truly sparkling session of learning and a fantastic enthusiastic way of delivering it.

From a wet Sweden with a lot of visits to the range.

Thanks. Santa has said to relax but no early Xmas. Meanwhile I am back at the Gallery_one huge "gift" from LBG there.

Below Plane
 

Thank you for the DVD. It's great to have a clear vision to help the incubator. I had always wondered about extensor action being below plane. Spents many hours just rolling it around in my noggin but now enlightened. Thanx Yoda 'n' VJ!!!

Kudos from Kb
 

Thank you, kbclements, for posting your review and recommendation. I appreciate it!

I received my Alignment Golf DVD series as a suprise christmas present that I had asked for. I enjoyed watching the videos and although most of the ideas I had known about as a result of working with Yoda and Yodaluke it was refreshing to see how they presented the information. They even got me excited about going back to basic motion to work on the stroke and after 2 weeks I am hitting those short shots as good as i ever could . Each day I hit the balls with a slightly louder sound than the day before and the distance control has been outstanding. The real fun was mixing up hinging wih ball location and creating speciality shots which Yoda talked about in theDVD.

The lesson I learned from all of this is no matter how well you think your game is doing you need to always work with the simple basic motions which will help not only your short game but also the long one as well. It is too easy to revert to the dreaded flip unless you continiously teach your brain.

The DVD's (or the tapes for the old folks) do keep referenceing the full swing DVD. There are spots on the DVD's where there is some converage but I am wondering if there any plans to release another DVD for the full swing .

Having watched Lynn teach for many hours of lessons and clinics, both as a student, and an assistant, I can say without question, the Drills DVD is pure gold. I am especially fond of the zone 2 drills Lynn presents.

Outstanding. I suspect Homer would be very proud.

The flying wedges and extensor action drills alone could lower the national handicap :)

Drills And Long Shadows
 

Thanks, EdZ!

The late afternoon sun was fading fast, and V.J. and I were ramping hard -- no script or rehearsal -- one drill after another. I think we got in 23 drills on Disk 2, and the only thing that stopped us was the setting sun.

More to come!

Stuck Record
 

I have said it before but I will say it again! DVD # 2 is the best instruction DVD I have ever seen (I have seen quite a few! :sleepy: ) The 3 zone approach...tons of info...ALL explained in terms of drill...that are easy to follow. What else do you need?

How about an A.I. to make sure you are actually doing the drills the way you think you are doing them :whistle: .

Your local PGA A.I. Making your golf game better...making golf a better game.

All A.I.'s are not PGA, and vice versa.

Which is more important to you guys? I have been a PGA member for almost 25 years, and am proud of it, but now at 51 years old, I'm working hard at learning TGM and would LOVE to one day become an AI.

Have have friends who I consider top flight teachers without being affiliated with the PGA, but I don't know too many well versed in TGM that are not authorized instructors, or were not authorized at one time.

Kevin

Homer's Heros
 

True BJ, I am lucky enough to be both. If I was strictly sticking to the teaching/clubfitting arena, I may not have become a PGA Member, but I would definitely become an A.I.

Kevin,

I would encourage you to become an A.I. as well. The pursuit alone is well worth the effort, both professionally and personally.

Duh!
 

Let me restate: What more do you need from an instructional DVD! I would take you over a DVD any old day!:salut:

Thank you for the encouragement Drew. Hopefully one day it will happen. I am truly a believer and very much look up to you guys and gals who have made it to the pinnacle!

Kevin

Agreed. If you teach, you need to do it.

Thanks B.J. I promise I'm working towards it!

Alignment Golf -- The Foundation of Your Best Game
 

Great stuff, JerryG. Thanks.

I'm delighted to report that Alignment Golf has now been shipped to 19 countries -- from Canada southward to New Zealand and from California eastward to China -- and is well into its second printing. http://lynnblakegolf.com/cmps_index.php?page=proshop

We appreciate the hundreds of amateurs and professionals around the world who have purchased and endorsed these DVDs. Thanks, guys . . . It is gratifying to know we've made a difference.

:salut:

Is Alignment Golf just the tip of the iceberg?

Started watching last night...after about 15-20 minutes I couldn't help myself, had the dowels out and working on the left arm wedge up and down the inclined plane with a flat left wrist. Then worked ons some basic motion based on what was on DVD 1 up to the end of the flying wedges section. Haven't even got to pressure points and already I have been reminded of a few things my swing is missing...will be watching more tonight.

Welcome to the club! :)

Kevin

Sweet!
 

Long story...short version. Okie struggling...viewed DVDs...centered head...magic of the right forearm = -3, 69...from the tips...blowing 20-25 mph! Best ball striking round in...10 years!

Wow, do you think impact alignments are important? Nice testimonial!!!

Kevin

Sustained IT for a full round
 

I seldom post scores...especially the good ones. I cannot begin to tell you how poorly I was hitting the ball (even for an infrequent player) I start to get down...then watching the DVDs again I realized that was my problem...I had lost the down...the 3-D impact. I got the old bungee cord out and started doing the extensor action drill with the right forearm pick-up and noticed that my hand path had become more circular...add insuffiicient hand speed etc. I rate that one of my best ball-striking rounds because not only did I hit the ball well but not once did the clubhead outrace my hands through the ball....that was the first time EVER that I sustained the lag pressure on all of my full shots in a single round of golf. Experimenting with this and that I had moved away from the importance of lag pressure. I did hit quite a few shots that were not 100% on line...in fact I only hit 3-4 that you could put a hat over them...but the 3 dimensional impact was there. If I had scored 5 strokes higher I would still have been chuffed!

What Is Lag Pressure?
 

"Lag Pressure."

Such a mysterious term!

Yet we bandy it about as jargon we think we all understand.

But we don't.

This past weekend, at the conclusion of a long and fruitful day's work, my student Collin Neeman, http://lynnblakegolf.com/gallery/sho...ry.php?cat=512 now playing the Gateway Tour in Arizona, and I were having dinner at Cuscowilla. The day's work done, we were talking about the illusive and inert 'lag pressure'.

The water glass loomed before me, and with my right forearm on the table, I placed my forefinger to its side and, using my forearm (and a bit of pivot from my seat), moved it slowly to the left side of the table. The glass resisted -- inertia -- yet my forearm advanced. And with it, the glass.

My 'on plane' forearm and the supporting pressure point (the right forefinger), felt the 'drag' of the 'lagging' glass.

"'Water Glass' lag pressure", said I.

"'Clubhead' Lag Pressure", said he.

The Golf World wants you to "Swing the Clubhead", almost always with an indiscriminate bending of the left wrist. In the words of a famous instructor, to "hit the ball with the head of your instrument".

:sad:

A TGMer uses his Pivot and Arm Swing to create Clubhead Lag Pressure in his Hands. The "head of your instrument" takes care of itself.

The difference is empowering.

And is more easily demonstrated than explained.

:salut:

"Swing the Hands not the Clubhead."

Yoda, until you showed me what this really looked like, I only thought I knew what this meant. Suffice it to say the flat left wrist plays a big part.

ob

Indispensable, but elusive!
 

Ain't that the truth! I can even plot how I got off track. I started to think consciously about the clubface/clubhead instead of my hands. I suppose it wil always be a challenge to continue monitoring the hands. Lag pressure is indispensable as well as elusive...and you don't even need that much! :golf:

sorry for going (slightly) off topic, but thanks for the update Yoda. I very much enjoyed watching the videos with Colin when I first joined this site. Can I ask what age he was when you made those clips and how much has Colin's game changed since then - ie what was his handicap back then (he looked like a college kid then) and what was it when he turned pro?

I had often wondered how his golf had developed after seeing the videos.

Making a Splash...not!
 

..and if you can snatch the pebble from my Educated Hands, it is time for you to leave :) .

Seriously, what a wonderful post. One of my All-Time favorites.

I am heading to the Chinese restaurant for lunch - can't wait to give it a try.

Seriously how much right wrist bend? Where should the bend be set? How much bend sustained into the hit?

Alignment in the sand
 

I watched Alignment Golf disk #1 twice yesterday, both times being mesmorised by the beautiful sand shots VJ and Yoda produced apparently effortlessly, It got me wondering, can I or anybody for that matter use a hitting procedure from the bunker?
