Last night
before the trip to the South tomorrow. I have just finished a 2 hour walk to keep the legs in shape.

Earlier today I was in the indoor golfhall and hit balls, so that it doesn't feel so unfamiliar when I get there and can start the outdoor trainings season 2011. I feel that am really working the right forearm/arm in the backswing pulling the left with me with extensor action. The top of the backswing feels shorter, flatter, more compact and powerful. I think there is less OTT there. Hope so, at least. Will make a little utube video, which I can show when I come back to see if I'm on to something here or if it's only wishful thinking..

When it comes to hinging - I think I can do basic and aquired motion chip/pitch shots with angled hinging without too much difficulty, horizontal hinging as well, but perhaps a little more difficult for me - and worst of all vertical hinging: feels quite akward. I'm not sure if it's worth a lot of training? I guess there are other more important areas to work on...?

My wife is bringing her lap top, so I guess I can carry on almost as usual....

Now, if only you can get her to do all the training as well you will have an abundance of time to keep posting.

I never thought of that before...
I have actually done my training today. Not completely satisfied. It was easier to hit on a math without a ball. Chocking. My drives were terrible to begin with. Chopped down on the top of the ball it seemed. But when I concentrated on swinging in such a way that I tried to hit tha ball to the outside (to the right) it went much better.

More Percy Boomer
He writes:
There are three basic feels of the golf swing - the pivot, the shoulders moving in response to the pivot, and then the arms moving in response to the shoulders. These are the basic movements of a connected and therefore controlled swing, and must all be built into the framework of your feel of the swing.
..
..so long as you keep these primary feels right, nothing much will go wrong with your game.
..
How does this fit in with the TGM teaching?

CF Throwout comes to mind and a whack of other related stuff. Each accumulator has a like numbered pressure point for feel control, delay the release of #4 to delay #1 or #2 and 3. The sequential set of feels is the Downstroke Sequence, Swinging from the Feet, the Pivot, the inside swings the outside etc.

Zone 1(pivot) and Zone 2 (arms) but if you add Zone 3 (Hands) then you could address how the Pivot (CF) can align the Hands for Impact. Impact hands vs Address Hands. Lagging Takeaway, Lag and Drag etc etc they all relate. In fact, CF alone can bring all components in line I believe. Which, as Drew points out, when properly employed makes manipulation as unnecessary as a tv in a honeymoon suite. Which gets us into True Swinging , Impact geometry , grip rotation.........ah heck the whole book if you start talking about manipulation and over riding CF throw out........the Throws.... Release points on and on.

Without what Percy Boomer is talking about there's no yellow book as we know it.

Thanks - as usual I can't take it in at once. I'll have to dwell with it some more first..

Like Nicklaus?
Is it a good idea if the head and chin are turned slightly to the right at the set-up i.e to look at the ball out of the corner of the left eye?

This is individual from player to player, but it's probably good for you Air. It will help you to strike the ball from the inside.

In fact, this small adjustment is often enough to turn a fade into a nice draw for some people.

I second that BerntR!

Your shoulders are freed to turn easier from this slight pivot of the centered head.
