His Fairways Hit percentage was way low, only about one in three. He thought the answer lay in a new driver. I shot straight: "You're swaying. Big time. No way you improve your percentages until you stop doing that." I buttressed my Rx with the indisputable evidence from my high-speed Casio. He saw it and agreed. Then, he sent the TaylorMade guy scrambling for a new club. That was the last time I saw him. Bad news messengers have a hard time making new friends. Fine by me. It's his career, not mine. If you notice in the videos Lynn posted Dodger, all his instruction to me is simple and very do-able. When I miss a shot at the driving range now, it is because I have lost my Balance and moved my "Stationary Head" or I have not fully Pivoted and lifted my left heel. Whether in the bunker or putting, then chipping, then pitching, Lynn's explanation of the machine is logical and clear letting the tubby guy with the artificial hip and 1.75" longer right leg self-diagnose and correct. As Lynn showed me and told me, 'Doing TGM correctly is the surest and shortest way to building a permanently powerful swing or hit'.
