TGM Power Package Video
 

This is the TGM Power Package in Action. He does use a Float Loading Procedure but that's just his feminine side coming out. His Downstroke acceleration Sequence is Perfect because of his Intact and Rigid Power Package. He hits the 3 Wood 300 yards.

The Following Video's illustrate that by using the TGM Power Package Rigid Structure, that the Right Forearm is DRIVEN into Impact and the Hands can indeed be within the Line of Sight to the Ball at Release.

This is a Picture at Frame #1995 at approximately 1:06 into the video.


The following Link is a Video of the TGM Power Package Front View. View in slo-mo and Witness the Right Elbow be Driven into Release. The Above Picture was taken from this Video. ((Don't pay attention to the teacher. He's lost. He's still looking for laces for his Loafers.)) It's obvious that JB and his teacher have no Idea of Power Package and Acceleration Sequence. JB tries to explain what he does during the Downstroke but notice that not once does he demonstrate his Right Elbow Position at Release or Impact. Humpty Dumpty.

This Link is a video of JB Holmes from a birdseye view. Watch the Right Elbow pass the head at Impact.

Yup, Float Loading more than he apparently realizes.

He displays a lot of Hitter like Alignments and appears to thrust hard but that is a Pitch Elbow in your freeze frame above no? So, Daryl, given your insight on another post would you consider JB to be Swinger then?

Not trying to raise a ruckus or anything just wondering about JB's action.

Oh? Does the Pitched Elbow Look Familiar? I wonder where I saw that before?

JB is a Swinger that Drives the Right Forearm Flying Wedge On-Plane into Release and through Impact. The Difference between JB and other Swingers is that because he Drives the Right Forearm with his Power Package his Right Elbow Continues Driving through Impact. It does not Stop at the Release Location.

Unfortunately, like many Golfers, JB Over-Bends his Right Elbow at the Top of the Swing. If you pull or carry or force the Left Arm Closer than about 45 degrees or so to the Chest, then you will Over-Bend your right arm. Then, because of his Rigid Power Package his Over-Bent Right Forearm comes in too high at Release on many shots. I think that these are reasons why many Golfers reject the Power Package Concept and replace it by unbending the Right Elbow during the Downswing.

Daryl great post it clarifies what you were describing in the Erickson thread. Thanks

Thanks MB,

Many golfers studying TGM lose the "Method" in the "Madness".

If we start with a Blank Slate and added a Power Package, Magic of the Right Forearm, Extensor Action, Flying Wedges, Flat Left Wrist and a Bent and Level Right Wrist, we see a pattern begin to form.

Daryl, I'm confused. JB says that he doesn't cock his wrist. Isn't the left wrist cocked when the right arm fold?

GREAT call Smoke218. I didn't catch that.

At 1:24 into the First Video, JB says that he "Don't break-it like that" at the Top meaning that he does not force or add additional cock or bend and that doing so would wreck his swing. At 1:35, JB admits that his Wrist is somewhat cocked at the Top but that he doesn't do anything to make it so. Then he blurs over that fact because to him, it doesn't feel like he does anything to cock the Wrist. Geez...he's a Professional Golfer and he doesn't know how his left wrist ends up cocked. He's got to be kidding?

I think that the Bending Elbow does cock and bend his left wrist but neither JB nor his coach have the terminology or understanding to fully explain the alignments and actions in his own swing.

The Cocking increases during the Downswing therefore, he adds a little by Float Loading, but I agree that most of his Wrist Cock is Present at the Top of his Swing.

Could be JB does not know the difference between cocking and bending or double cocking. Still he has great impact and lots of power.

I think that his Coach is Ted's (Yodasluke) cousin or something from Marietta, Georgia.

I don't think this is a good example of a TGM power package. The integrity of the right hand flying wedge isn't intact on the photo.

His right hand is cocked at the picture. I believe that is counter productive for the involvement of the right hand through the ball.

If there is one TGM thing that has improved my game it is to keep the right hand quiet all the way from address to impact. The magic of the RHFW really works.
