TGM scandal
The Cesar has now denounced basic and acquired motion as being junk and flipping is acceptable. How much more is tgm headquarters willing to take?
This is becoming a scandal and putting a slight on tgm community

If you are talking about who I think you are I've ignored him a long time ago. His actions are irrelevant, I offer you the same life.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

No leadership there . . . . The Machine has a life of its own . . . it lives and breaths . . . it don't need no gas to run . . . . the book is sooooo much bigger than the home office . . . . read the book . . . . let it be your filter . . .
If somebody that is authorized says that something in the book is garbage . . . . who cares. Frankly some of the stuff in the earlier editions to me is better than what evolved. But hey . . . it's your golf game or your student. You have to put the components together and match them appropriately. If some schmuck wants to take a squirt on the book or what some other instructor is teaching . . . . let him throw down the turd . . . . he'll do a swan dive into it wittingly or unwittingly eventually.
Same ole playbook . . .

In the book's foreward, Homer indicates its intention is to be a toolbox for the golf professional. What each professional, authorized or not, does with the book seems to be his or her own business. I see nothing in the book that says it should never be challenged, or that new ideas should not be tested. Either it works or it does not.

Hitting a Homer
The Geometry of a Circle and the Physics of Rotation. Don't think those things are going to change.

He needs attention- starve him of that and move along. Manzy never like basic or acquired motion- wasn't sexy enough for him or his students.
He is week old fish left in the sun.

I am not sure of whom you speak, but they are mistaken. It is possible to hit good golf shots by flipping just as it is possible to hit good golf shots swinging a frying pan behind your back. It is, however, not the most controllable and repeatable way to do it (although I hear Bucket swings a mean chicken frying pan  ). Lower scores come about from control and repeatability which are a consequence of precision geometrical alignments throughout the stroke. It takes time and practice to learn, but it is an easy concept to understand.

I thought Caesar died a long time ago.
Elvis is dead, too, if no one knew.
