Boy, I can't ever tell for sure Patrick. My opinion... I see a lot of swinging and centrifugal force. I think that right shoulder is going through like a flywheel, and I see him working at pitch elbow... pitch elbow can be used in hitting but is much more common in swinging. YODA was very impressed with how far this gentleman could hit it!

If he RFT's to shoulder high and Pivots the shoulder down with no thrust, it is still a Swing. If he RFT's from Impact Fix, Pivots and thrusts against the shoulder, he Hits?
Thanks Kevin.

I think that's the right idea Patrick. I think folks get confused sometimes and equate RFT with hitting. YODA has shown us how to effectively use RFT with both hitting and swinging, in fact I believe it is one of the most important concepts we learn for getting the club on plane... I think we can learn from Mr. Taly's swing as well...

Now, my post has covered my attempts to "learn and apply TGM" with my disabilities (artificial front hip, 1.75" short left leg) to my once upon a time 21 hcp.
My last search on the Stationary Head helped me shoot my lowest golf score, albeit in a simulator, ever, a + 3 "73." Before that, my best score was in a GAP event, an 83, where I finished second in a pretty small field.
The Stationary Head forces the golfer, imo, to use RFT and a careful selection of either Impact Fix or a thoughtful Address position.
But I have to be honest with myself, a driving average of 176 yards, which I had on the simullator is just stupid. It is an obvious indication that I am not doing something basic. One of my female golf companions on last Friday night, regularly drove the ball 25 yards past me with roll out.
Some of you might think I am a weakling. That would be incorrect. Today, I wrestled a fourth grader and sixth grader to the ground as they threatened to bloody each other. The whole fight took 20 minutes. While I am still sore, I am not weak.
So what am I doing wrong. My head will be stationary but something else must change to allow my golf clubs to be moved more quickly, more powerfully or perhaps both.
Lynn has said in the following video that some alignment, when mastered, will immediately allow your game to go to the next level.
So I'm thinking I do not understand the Finish Swivel, or if I do understand it intellectually, I cannot do it as a part of my golf Swing (since it is a Swingers concept).
So that's my new research project. How do I learn to do a Finish Swivel? Do I keep my left wrist firm or loose? Do I rotate my forearm on purpose? Do I Pivot hard enough to shake my forearm loose? Does keeping my left wrist and right wrist firm force my forearms to rotate?
How does a regular guy "do" a Finish Swivel?
As a preliminary observation, Mr. Williams has a very stiff FLW in his Swing and yet he seems to have a Finish Swivel. Lynn's FLW seems very stiff but his forearm seems somehow, supple. Is that what Delivery Line Roll Prep? Are we firming up our FLW at the Transition at the Top to create LAG that will force the forearm to Finish Swivel? Hmmm.
One more fine LBG video will help.
Maybe I am missing the "pow" in Power! If I diligently keep my left wrist firm and flat, making a left fist even as I write, there seems to be weight and heaviness that my left forearm flips over by itself when I straighten my left arm. Is that the LAG that must be left at the Top while the Pivot reverses?
More to come!

Do you have a video of your swing to post up here ICT ?
That might give those that can help more to work with ?
I am not posting a video until my "chunky monkey" status changes, Timothy.
Otherwise, you make another fine point. I had an English girlfriend in college... she was awesome.... it reminds me of a story....

i'm trying to drop a few too, 7lb in the last 3 weeks - but there's no fun in it is there
off topic.........not exactly PC but apparently the late great Clement Freud's favourite joke.....
fella walks into the bedroom with a sheep under his arm
''honey he says'' (in accent of your choice)
''i thought you'd like to know that this is the pig i sleep with when you've got a headache''
the wife looks up from the bed
''you really are some sort of stupid idiot'' she says 'that's a sheep not a pig !''
''yes & you can mind your own business'' he says ''i wasn't talking to you ''

That was great!
BTW, When I post a video, you will notice my Total Motion looks profoundly different from Lynn Blake's or any real golfer!

looking forward to it
i suspect there are a few of us could lay claim to a less than text book swing - yours had better be pretty funky now you've laid your cards on the table
