Steve Elkington Working with Ben Doyle on Ben's TGM Illusion Mat

[EternalAnachronism]

It's ridiculous that anyone -- let alone a great ball-striker like Elk -- would get this technical. Ever hear of paralysis by analysis?

[PBS90X]

@EternalAnachronism How do you think he became a great ball striker?

Mechanics produce, feel reproduces

[EternalAnachronism]

@PBS90X, The point is that he has the mechanics. Did Moe Norman, the greatest ball-striker of all time, think about technique once his swing was developed? Not one iota.

[PBS90X]

@EternalAnachronism I don't know but I see your point.

As an instructor, I am starting with objective laws and then playing on subjective feels.

[mikepownzall]

@EternalAnachronism Actually. Hogan and Norman were very similar golf swings if you look at them in slow motion. Moe carried around a book with Hogan drawings in it.

Can Ben Doyle form a complete sentence?

[mirvae]

it sounds like he says "nice seat on that toilet seat" at 1:47

[BirdieBlues]

@mirvae HAHAHAHA good call.

[ilikelemonpie1]

GIVE ME BACK MY NAME BEN.

Ben Doyle and his ilk are hacks. Elk probably could've done a lot more in the game had he not gotten mixed up with those fools.

[dschultz6072]

@kingly71 agreed 110%

[PBS90X]

@kingly71 What do you know?

[webty]

what a joke this is...I'm gonna bet Doyle couldn't hit it out of his shadow with so many thoughts..jesus

[TexanProgressive]

We all have to simplify/shrink the truth to fit the size of our minds.

[fauxmaestro]

@webty Sounds to me like the voice was dubbed in over the video. He wasn't saying all this stuff to Elk at the time.

[mmartel25]

I know ben doyle is supposed to be yoda, but that voice and herky jerky rhythm to it would drive me bananas. he's ollllld.

[fauxmaestro]

@mmartel25 No, Lynn Blake is yoda......nerd rant over.

[joniindo78]

Ben Hogan would shake his head if he saw this...

[bath4golf]

@joniindo78

why? most of what hogan preached is validated by TGM.

[cockywatchman1976]

@joniindo78 Just out of interest, why? Im not a TGM man, Id just like to know why Hogan would be so against this.

[PBS90X]

@joniindo78 Hogan did the same. He tirelessly work on mechanics and then turned it to his own unique feel.

[jeremyhodgegolf]

Ben Doyle is the man. A wealth of information in his quiet comments on Elk's moves.

[dschultz6072]

@jeremyhodgegolf information about what? it sounds like a bunch of malarkey to me.
