After a year of tinkering with TGM heavily, i have finally come to understand the flying wedges. I have battled with getting the club underplane for quite some time now and busted my bohonkus for a couple of years untill today. After much thought over this period of time i have come to understand the things Hunter, Lynn and other contributors to this site offer to everyone. This is just the begining of the journey but im sure everything is going to fall in place shortly. Everynight after i come home from practice i ponder why i get the club underplane. I look at other players swings, but nothing really jumps out at me. I use mirrors nightly to monitor the progress and still when i get to the course, and set up my practice tools (mainly the sun behind my back so there is a shadow of myself out in front of me) there is a wobble just after the takeaway. When i emulate this problem in the mirror it looks alright and is still relative to the plane line. But in video its horrendous. So back to the basics and last night while remembering one of the lessons i had with Rob (hunter), i came across a phrase "Get it set into impact fix, and lock the right wrist, dont change it." WOW. It was like god opened the gates of great swings to me and shazam there it was. After remembering this quote i did the old LOOK, LOOK, LOOK and there it was. No more underplane problems. The magic of the Flying wedges truly does exist but one must fully understand it to use them. I understud it when told to me but it was just one of those things that took time to really really understand it. I am very appreciative to everyone on this board and the contributors are awesome for sharing this information with us.
Thanks again for the time and understanding you give us

It would be really interesting to see before and after video from face-on and down-the-line if it is at all possible.
Congratulations and best of luck! It's great to see someone that works as hard as you do have a breakthrough!

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)
Isn't the Incubator a great thing. You should be very proud. Like I always tell you the hard work will pay off. The hard part is being patient enough to let the Incubator do it's job.
The bent right wrist is really cool . once you get a hold of it. Awkward and not very intuitive at first for most people.
I alway admire the pros - especially Tiger - just raking/sweeping/mopping the ball off the ground to enter airborn state.
(Makes me hope that a long golfless winter has not straightened mine...)

metallion, it was not so much a flattening right wrist through impact but after startup the club went underplane and there was alot of flopping and correcting once top was reached meaning if i did not time it well and reroute the club on a shallower plane then i would be very steep. The idea of locking the wrist in place was to correct the bending right wrist after hip high thus sending the club head behind me and the shaft under plane. I do agree that a bent right at impact is pertinent for good golf consistantly. Also Rob, this has corrected the swivel problems from what i can tell, ill get some video soon and post it
