I don't get the Golf Channel, so not sure if everyone has seen this already, but I this Lynn Blank video was an interesting watch. I'm guessing he is outlining the TGM principles. Anyways, I wish I had seen this video when I first started playing. It would have saved me alot of time.



Not to hijack my own post, but I noticed other GC Instructor Search Contest Entries, like Manzella and a couple of other guys. Perhaps we can post all of them in a separate thread

I like Lynn Blake. He has perhaps the best golf video I've ever seen on maintaining lag pressure and I think he's great.

But I think the problem that he has which may prevent him from getting this gig is that he talks fast, he doesn't re-state things, and he covers 50 topics every two minutes. They're all very much related, but if you had to summarize in one sentence the first 8:00 of that video, how would you do it? He covers so many topics. I can keep up. nevets, you might have kept up. But Joe Six Pack Golfer, not a chance. I LOVE that he uses Golfing Machine terms, but Joe Six Pack isn't going to understand 'em. Lynn makes statements as if they're commonly accepted fact when the reason those statements ARE fact could take ten minutes to explain themselves... and he makes 10 of those types of statements every few minutes. I wish him well, but I don't think he makes it. I don't know if he's reaching the proper demographic.

Yeah, I agree, I had to re-watch segments of the video and I bet he lost viewers at isosceles triangle, but I like his use of geometry and I'm not afraid of math. I also like the density of info since with YouTube, you can rewind and fast forward.

He lost me a little with the hinge machine. Hinge, hold, close, but I think I got the gist.

    • Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs. 
    • It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
