great pictures there....BG makes an ever so slight shift to the turned shoulder plane, right?

It seems to me to be a very simple procedure to setup right forearm on plane as he has and swing around that plane line as Mo Norman did. The process of shifting would be mostly eliminated and then you just trace the target base line.....sounds like a new pattern for me to play around with

Sorry my friend, I wish we could be on the range with you. Getting the set up perfect will make a huge change in your motion. Keep working at it!

Wow, is Brian's swing impressive, or what?

Not bad! With a little more practice, it might look as good as this one...

Moe Norman's swing would be very cool!


Kevin, Moe Norman is an attractive model for me (though I have some doubts about his descendants in teaching) due to the low wear and tear on my football battered body!

Mr. Manzella did a nice analysis of that swing although he did not really make the TGM methods clear. Is that something you or another TGM instructor might offer a general guide to esp. for those of us with an artificial hip and metal rod in my front leg.

If a guy who survived a car accident could win 59 tournaments using that swing and shoot a few 59's, I might be able to someday win our "C" flight and senior tournament!

You've come to the right place!

I agree, I like a lot of what Moe Norman does, especially the way he sets up. All you need to do is study YODA's teaching when it comes to the Magic of The Right Forearm, and setting up with the Right Forearm on plane. Nobody does it better than YODA's student Brian Gay.

Obviously, there are a lot of differences in the pattern, but based upon a similar foundation. You have a couple of documents that will be very helpful to learning both YODA's and Brian's swing patterns.

This is my current hitting with a driver. Right forearm picks up and drive down. Easy to perform, ball goes straight but only around 240 yards.

1.Should I stand more closer to the ball with the left arm more closer to the body?
2.Am I at the STP, zero shfit?
3.Have I did the take out the slack move as I don't feel th initial bump.

Appreciate any of your comments.

Thanks.
