Everyone teaches patterns. Some single ones. Others multiple ones around a players basic pattern. JE has his and describes it in non TGM lingo. What he does and how he does it are based on the concepts just fine. #5 is a concept too that encompasses F.Swivel in an unusual way.

You can keep looking at the photos all you like though until you stand and "do" with him you will never "feel" the drive thrust in it.

He sits within our paradigm.

I only meant to say that JE's Pattern is a "My Way" Pattern. As strongly as he feels about it, he should teach it. But Once a "My Way" Pattern is designed and taught, I wouldn't call it TGM anymore. Call it J.E.M. or something so as not to confuse the Golfing Public.

I truly like what he says about Zone 1. The Pivot should keep moving and move far.

I disagree that everything he does and says resides within the Conceptual bounds of TGM. His theory is Anti-Power Package and Anti-Arm Acceleration Sequence. Additionally, the P3-4:30 position, which means that when the Clubshaft is Parallel to the Ground during the Downswing, but that the Butt End of the Club points to a 4:30 Position (inside Aft Quadrant of the Ball) on the Ball, is off Plane. When the Clubshaft is Parallel to the Ground it should also be Parallel to the Base-Line of the Inclined Plane. I don't disagree with him, but I don't think that his method should be called TGM.

In Fact, he better be at the 4:30 position with the Clubshaft because his hands are so far from the Ball at Release, he needs the extra Time for his Hands to stay ahead of the Clubhead at Impact.

The following Quote from the 6th Edition, Requires that the Golfer use a Turned Shoulder Plane and Hands Controlled Pivot. Otherwise one cannot get the Hands to the Line-of-Site-to-the-Ball before Release. (TGM is a Method) JE has a Picture Perfect Pitched Elbow Location but it's forced. A Turned Shoulder Plane would Locate it Automatically.

For maximum Power, the position of must be taken with that will allow Delay of the Release until all Components, except the Right Foot and Right Shoulder, have reached, or passed the Line-of-Site-to-the-Ball per 6-B-1-C. Then the Accumulators must move very rapidly toward their “In-Line” Position. But none should actually arrive (lose all their Lag and Drag until well after Impact. Also see 6-H-0.

I fail to understand how the #5 Accumulator has reached Accumulator Status? I can't find an Out-of-Line condition? And especially because its Power Application begins after the Ball is Struck, maybe it should be Termed something other than an Accumulator.

6-B-0 GENERAL Force is applied to the Ball through the Lever Assemblies. Power is applied to the Lever Assemblies through Pressure Points. Power is applied to the Pressure Points by Power Accumulators. Power Accumulators are out-of-line conditions of the Power Package Components. Out-of-line simply means “not in a straight line from end to end.” Releasing them to seek their in-line condition releases their stored potential. Varying the amount of out-of-line and/or the amount of muscular effort will vary the accumulation of Power that can be Released by the selected Triggering action. Accumulators are numbered in the order of their probable widest use in Stroke Type Combinations.
