Welcome to the forum. I've been here 6 weeks and don't know so much, but as far as I have understood a chip shot is (can) not (have) a total motion. A total motion is a full swing. A chip is a basic motion - only 2 feet back and 2 feet thru. A half swing is a acquired motion, arms parallel to the ground back and thru.
I started with TGM before 2 month, read the book, but now have many many questions.
What is the relation between golf shot type(chip,pitch,full swing) and the basic motion curriculum stages 1-basic,2-acquired,3-total ?
Could you anybody here explain for example the total motion for chip shot ?
Thank you.
Mike
If you were to match them up:
chip=basic
pitch=acquired
full swing=total.
Disclaimer:
While basic motion is 2 feet back and through a chip could be close to total motion (100 yd chips on a links course). A pitch/sand/flop shot is often total motion. So they really are not one and the same.
The motion for a 100 yards chip shot must at least be acquired or maybe even total, I would think - is then this a chip shot any more? What's the difference between this and a required motion punch shot?
Basic (Stage 1), Acquired (Stage 2) and Total Motion (Stage 3) is a curriculum intended to instruct one in the "Three Zones". Hands, Arms, Pivot. A Wind Instrument musician practices Scales, Arpeggios and Whole Tones.
It may be best to keep them separate from on the course ball striking terminology.

Basic Motion as written in my 6th anyways would not cover "shoulder or pivot putting", a very popular method. What say you D?
Did the 7th make a change in this regard? Maybe as you say Basic is a stepping stone in the "curriculum" to Total Motion rather than an actual method of hitting little chips or putts.

I don't mean that the Motion Curriculum's are stepping stones. I meant that they each specialize in one of the 3 Zones. The Golf Swing is comprised of 3 Zones. Each Zone is trained separately.
