First: It's in the Book and the Book is Based on the TSP. Hardly any mention of mechanics is given to the Elbow Plane.
Young guy, and older guy. The TSP is not age specific.
Diagram. The Elbow Plane and the TSP can be diagrammed.
The Ice Man. The Longest Ball Striker in the World. Most Long Drive Hitters use the TSP.
Another Person.
Another Diagram.
The Ice Man up Close. Notice that the Right Forearm is On Plane. It is 90 degrees to the Plane of the Left Arm Wedge. As it should be.
Look at the picture below and NOTICE that the heel of the Putter is raised above ground and the Shaft is more vertical than what you normally see. She is preparing to putt on the TSP as soon as she can see the Ball. The TSP is NOT Gender Biased.
Nice use of styles, colors, and PG rated shock value in service of teaching important TGM concepts. My hero!

What do you guys think about that idea for a swing thought? What swing thoughts do you guys use?
How much time do we have?
But seriously now folks.........Im all right sided in my swing thoughts. I get in trouble when I start thinking about left sided things. Left hand wrist cock thoughts are my ruin. Maybe that is just me though.
Somewhere in the book Homer discusses how the Right Side centric view of the swing and the Left have very different "appearances". Cant find it for a reference but its a great note. I personally prefer the right sided ones.
Grant if you're Hitting try chipping and doing little pitches with just your Right Arm attached to the club. For me it is a great warm up and exercise in what the fundamentals or basics of my stroke are. Load the elbow, freeze the right hand, on plane right forearm, direct the thrust and the trace or aiming point with the #3 lag pressure point, fan and bend, get to Both Arms Straight, etc etc etc.
I try to limit mine, and I guess your mind will really only allow you to process 1 at a time...but here is what Ive been using.
1) STEADY HEAD! (always #1!)
2) trace the plane line (at least attempt to get close to it
3)drive w/ PP #1, as I "sense" #3
These are interchangeable w/ the following....but I try to use a max of 3 before any swing.
4) hula,hula (if Im not pivoting correctly)
5) aiming point (in front for irons at the ball for driver)
6) cross line delivery
7) SLOW DOWN frozen wrists
9) both arms straight on f.t.
Grant you're under the Plane at Top .........which will often tend to bounce you back over the Plane in Startdown. It may be Right Elbow position. Research what Lynn calls the "goal posts". Probably on video more than in a Yoda post Id imagine. I think it'll help you a lot.
And maybe research "geometrically flat" left wrist at Top as opposed to literally flat, which is often achieved via an off plane left hand wrist cock. Something Tiger is struggling with so you're in good company. Ideally the club lies on the inclined Plane at Top........ but the Left ARm doesnt, cant, its above the Inclined Plane, given any #3 angle in the grip. "Flat" at top is not "literally" flat given a 10-2-B grip type.

I can't agree with that. The Flat Left Wrist should be Literally Flat at the Top. The Back of the Left Wrist doesn't lay against the Plane but the Palm of the Right Hand and the #3 PP does lay against the Plane.
I submit he's got his hands on the TSP but the club is UNDER and plane line shifted out.
Not so hot here. Wedges done . . . clubface whip . . . time the flip . . . but good enough to win a major be rich and have a hot wife. He's a wrist rubbin' goat humper compared to Hogan . . . but hey . . . he's really good at it. Look at his hips and his wedges compared to Hogan . . . no freakin' comparison.
Sadloski ain't no model he can't hit a runway that a DC10 can land on.
