I should know this by now, but it it hit me, how do I explain why alignment golf is a better concept than positional golf?
I know there isn't one perfect golf swing / method that should be the model everybody should try to learn. It might work for some, but not all.
How does one find what is best for yourself? The TGM way is to have your own machine (golfswing). But how do we find/build the machine that is best for us?
I have at least known the last 10 years that coming OTT is a bad idea. That's no position or alignment anybody recommends. But nevertheless that's what I am still doing against my own will and knowledge. Sounds stupid, but with a high hcp branded on my forehead I quess it suits me.
In such matters - how does alignment golf get rid of such problems easier than other "methods" (although TGM doesn't offer a method I understand).
Now that the golf season (soon) is over, I don't need to use my driver - the way I always do. My knowledge of TGM is certainly not good enough to get rid of a 20 year old problem. But with some help I can use this winter building up something new. That probably means I must begin with the basic motion and acquired motion the next 4 months and do the MacDonald exercises and hope that does the trick when it's time to tee up for the longer shots in april. Who knows?
In addition I have to educate my hands - they are pretty stupid for the time being. There has to be a senSe of that the hands are leading and that lag is produced and sustained. Don't forget the FLW and the BRW and get a better understanding of the magic right forearm , extensor action and the flying wedges.. Another important point is to stop hitting at the ball on the target line, but instead hitting thru the ball on the delivery line. But all this is theory that my head can relate to, but the rest of the body seems to want to do their own thing. I guess I have to persuade the hands to listen to the head for once!?
You're getting there AirAir. You'll learn a lot while practicing Basic Motion for a few months. By next Spring, you'll be much improved.
I sure hope so.
Is it possible to do the basic motion wrong? I don't know how much of the MacDonald exercises belong here. Personally I wouldn't have any weight shift in a basic motion, but like in a chip shot I would let most of my weight stay on the front (left) foot. That's very unlike a mark time motion...
I see that The Primary Lever Assembly is the left arm and club. So what?
They Align Longitudinally with the Flat Left Wrist. Lose that and lose the Alignment. Lose the Alignment, no Rhythm. Lose Rhythm, lose Ball Control. Lose Ball Control, no Golf. No Golf......
