Thats the one. "Address Routine" doesnt sound too sexy but its a must see for anyone making a study of TGM . Hitter or Swinger. Its goes beyond the bounds of what you might expect and provides a ton of mission critical detail. The Startdown Waggle drill alone is worth the minimal cost of the video.
P.S. Its got a entire video with the Hit Man, Ted Fort too for you Hitters out there!!! Where are you going to get that info if not right here? Ted Fort and Jeff Hull, Hitter vs Swinger, "Bat" man and Robin.

O.B. you're absolutely correct. I have all the videos from LBG and watch them constantly. I just get excited when I see others teaching Homer and Yoda's principles. I shouldn't be promoting others while on YODA's site, that wasn't my intent, I am just trying to help spread the gospel... My apologies.

Iseek is more like TGM by stealth and when they are begging for more, we send them here for the ocean depths rather than reinvent another wheel. This wheel is so advanced that there is little or not point to trying to better it other than from within!

Hi Kevin, Jerry, OB, Daryl, GolfGuru, BerntR...everyone. I have had quite a learning curve since starting to practice the Extensor Action stretch shown on Alignment I these last two weeks.
Regarding EA and Impact Fix, it just seems like the Primary Lever stays stretched out and little if any wobble exists from an Impact Fix position. This is true for the RFT and the start of the down swing and the whole downswing. The EA and RFT moves the Impact Fix with Angle Hinge and Start-up Swivel beautifully. Then, Startdown in Impact Fix seems to be easily controlled by pp #4 right up to the moment when the right tricep is unleashed.
This all occurred to me after hitting six greens in regulation on my front 9 yesterday. When I used Impact Fix there was no wobble and I hit the middle of the greens and drove over a seventh green by 15 yards. EA, RFT, and pp # 4 must work as one on the Impact Fix to stop the wobble.
Am I missing an important point with this observation?
As a teacher, I have to say that every observation should include EA and Impact Fix as a starting point for TGM. Flying Wedges, RFT, Swivels, Primary Lever Driving and Swinging all work as promised with these two simple instructions, imho. But, my knowledge is limited to this experience since March 2010. What do you think?
Part of me is mad that these revolutionary insights are not given a revolutionary, streamlined presentation.
I have shaved 6 strokes off my hcp index. I can now see how a person regularly shoots par and my new goal with Impact Fix, EA, and driving the Primary Lever is two rounds of par in this October's club championship, and maybe I can pick-off a few blue-bloods at some local tournaments in the fall.

You have learned way more than you think. It's not revolutionary in the fact that its just 30 year old, good, God fearing TGM. What is revolutionary was YODA bringing it back to the limelight and making sense out of it for us. I hadn't heard of extensor action in my 30 years as a professional until I found LBG.
YOU sir are proving to others it's benefits by having the courage to do the work.
When I see folks on other sites beating down Mr. Kelley's tenants, all I need to do is read posts from guys like you and Jerry and OB to get back to reality.
It's real and it works.

...streamlined presentation!
There was an elderly 80 yr. old black gentleman and his son at the driving range last week. I was next to them in the hitting chute. "I just don't have any power anymore," the man said. "Dad, you still play good golf," was the son's response.
I had been hitting Impact Fix with EA for about an hour at that point from chips to drives. It was hot and I needed a break. Plus, my left tricep and right bicep were sore. I sat next to the gentleman and told him what I had seen on "Alignment I" regarding EA. I told him it gave me power and structure on all my shots from chips to drives. He spent the next 20 minutes hitting chips and drives down the middle. I wrote down our website on a red hall pass. He was smiling when he left and telling his son to use his computer to look up the video.
I appreciate the "natural" presentation of TGM and I need it as a teacher and golfer. But, I'm certain that we can as a community help people golf well much more quickly!

Way to go City. Share this info with those that show some need and interest.
I regularly play with a 78 year old gent who is all about TGM in his game, but would not have a clue what I was talking about if I were to ask him about his hinges or any of the other things we are working on. He was lucky to learn from a heck of a golf pro when he was a kid in the 40's and 50's.
Most of the other guys I play golf with give me enough ribbing (as I collect from them this year as opposed to previous years) so I don't offer anything until asked. I haven't been asked.
On the range, however, if I see someone struggling and they ask anything at all, I refer them here and lessons with Kev before they do anything else.
I was heartened to watch a grizzled pro give a lesson to an elderly gent this spring. The professional reiterated a forward leaning shaft and the right hand be aft of the shaft instead of on top or under. He placed the fellow in an impact fixed position. As I passed by I told the pro I was a friend of Homer's and he just smiled.
I am in my 4th summer of retirement from teaching. I am just about out of hall passes.
