The toughest shot to hit is a straight ball. Your shot needs to be curving one way or another. Not big but something. My biggest problem is the "double cross" when I am playing poorly, when I'm playing well it's not how good my good shots are it's how good my bad shots are! Nicklaus hit high fades that truly moved very slightly. Quite impressive.
Welcome aboard, Patrick. And thanks for this first post. Keep'em coming!

Do any of you Swingers produce FADES by employing Angled Hinging, or do you just adjust your Fix and Address alignments, and still use Horizontal Hinging?

It depends on the shot,if i'm swinging a long iron or on a full -out shot,I'll adjust my alignments.
For less than full power i'll angle ,or even vertical, hinge.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I just relocated to Las Vegas from Omaha and I'm looking to connect with a TGM instructor or student of the game. I see John Reigger calls Henderson home but I know he is busy with his full time job. Anyone else in LV that you would recommend talking to to discuss the TGM?
Thanks,
Pat

Pat,
John Riegger plays out of his club, TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas, and is headed for his early 'stompin' grounds' in Paducah, Kentucky, this week. I'll be talking with him tomorrow and will ask if he has any recommendations for you.
Meanwhile, thanks again for your posts. We are delighted you have chosen to associate with us at LBG.
I have never met John but know a few of his college team mates. JC Anderson, Trevor Dodds and Phil Jonas. Would like to meet him. Maybe at the LV Invitational. The golf world sure is small!
Been reading on how Jack Nicklaus the ultimate golf tactician played shots according to the "percentages" and disected golf courses.
He said that he would try to aim left of the pin and cut the ball mostly into the pin in order to have the most margin for error.
How much "cut" do you reckon he played for? 5 yards? 10? 15?
He wrote the book in the 70's and 80's so do you think he would still advise this type of strategy? Or was it because the "old" ball curved more? Does anybody other than Corey Pavin and Tiger play like this anymore?
Without reading any more of the posts, I'll say Bubba Watson likes to work the ball. I've heard Tiger plays practice rounds with him just to watch his shot making.
