stumbled upon this on youtube last night, I don’t know why I haven’t seen this on the LBG site before.. pure gold for those searching for the beginning or basic TGM motion.

Plenty of good stuff from LB as always.

Looking forward to hitting balls with him later in the year:)

where are those balls being hit Guru…you heading to the swamp?

Terrific video and definitely something I’ll bookmark and watch again and again and try and put into practice.

Thanks for the link u8ergolfer.

Cheers,

Dart and I also got the invite to drop by so we thought this too good an opportunity to pass up.

You lucky pair of Bastiges!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have fun…I was hoping Lynn might be coming this way instead!

Wow! what an eye opener for me…

I’d love to see a better clip of this is there one floating around somewhere?

Showing my ignorance here what are the three different types of “releases” used for in the golf shot? I’m pretty sure I’ve got the terminology incorrect sorry…

If you register at lynnblakegolf.com, you can freely access the free video gallery. There are a whole series of Colin Newman lesson videos in that section under Colin Newman. There is even a better series under Jeff Hull showing the execution of these motions.

There are 3 release types – snap release, which occurs at the latest possible moment; sweep release which ocurrs from the start of the downswing; and random release which is any release that is between a snap release and sweep release. These 3 types can all be automatic or non-automatic.

Great link thanks, Jeff.

How do the three hinge motions (horizontal, angled, vertical) control the trajectory of the ball? I used the wrong terminology when referring to the release instead, sorry.

Also, my biggest problem is my grip – when I grip a club in the fashion that I think is correct it feels extremely strong to me. My normal grip is what I would call weak maybe it isn’t, I attached a pic so you could give me your thoughts.. (normal on the left)

TW,

Sorry the picture didn’t attach.

TW,

In general, horizontal hinging produces a lower trajectory shot that is penetrating with a tendency to a slight draw. Angled hinging produces a higher trajectory shot with a fade tendency. Vertical hinging produces a high lofted shot with a greater fade tendency eg. useful for lob shots, bunker shots.

Your left grip image looks too weak and the right grip image slightly too strong. I think that a neutral grip would have the left thumb very slightly aft of the grip, but not grossly aft of the grip and you would see two knuckes when viewed from above.

Jeff.

Guys,
to simplfy jeff’s explanantion, all jeff is saying when your left hand is gripped weak, your hands rolls into FLW and the club face stays open, ball fades, same with right, If left or right hand is to strong hands rotate to FLW club face will be slightly closed and cause a draw.

Jeff: Proud of your efforts in learning what the little yellow book says and what it does in action.
