Received the 7th Edition today....

Hmmm...Swinging Stroke Pattern has changed:

Shoulder turn went from A to C Rotated
Hip Turn went from A to B Slide
Power Package Loading went from Snap to Random Sweep
Power Package Release went from B to E Auto Sweep

Well there is an error...if the Power Package Release is "E" it should be Auto Snap not Sweep.

Shoulder turn went from A to C Rotated
Shoulder turn now more orthodox backstroke (90 degrees to spine) and "C" variant still allows on-plane downstroke. This seems sensible.

Hip Turn went from A to B Slide
Hip turn with slide... well 6th edition says it goes well with line delivery path... which fits well with auto snap release.(now in 7th edition as standard release - if typo above E = snap)

Power Package Loading went from Snap to Random Sweep
Snap Loading is rare nowadays - most do random sweep nowadays - so not much controversy here.

Power Package Release went from B to E Auto Sweep (presume mean "snap")
Well we all want to look and swing like Hogan...

It makes sense to have these changes. Imagine if you were not aware of TGM and picked up 7th edition... these would not appear too alien...although made in 1982, these changes are a 21st century swinging pattern! Homer ahead of his time again!!!

My only irritation is the mention of "zero axis shift" ( i am waiting for my copy but presume it is still there as this thread does not document its change). I do not wish to thread jack so if people want to discuss this then i will start another thread... it seemed like "the holy Grail" but in my experience it is impossible ( for me and similar anatomical variants = humanish!!) to implement with level wrist and TSP.
