If you listened carefully, he said that there were "many, a lot of guys on tour", influenced by TGM and asked, where are the great ones, the multiple major winners? Apparently, guys like Elkington with only one major, don't count!
Perhaps Jim could show us the list of the greats/multiple major winners who graduated from McLean University?

True...Homer has certainly helped his BOTTOM LINE.....
JM though is a marketing smart man and uses this ignorance to drive his bottom line. That some of us see right through the jibes and partial truths shows we are smarter than the herd.
The World is Flat was a good way to eat and not get burned only a few hundred years ago. JM keeps laying it out like people want to hear it.
All those players he mentions all have the impact zone covered quite nicely thanks in a motion we get. He may have been to Homers house but it would appear that he did not have the patience to incubate what he may have learned from the trip.
He doesn't attack the book and HK's work as far as I can see. He attacks some of those who uses TGM as basis for their teaching.
He may be right that there are TGM-based teachers who are too method oriented and where a "One Right Way" thinking gets in the way of improving the student from time to time. But I you will find that in all camps. The criticism is in any case uncalled for.

Don't you hate it when a level head gets in the way of a good ole witch burning?
Good points BerntR.

We can go ahead with the witch burning, even though he seems to act respectful, he is totally being disrespectful. He is targeting the golfing machine and claiming it does not produce results. After saying that he likes a lot of it, In other words TGM taught him what to teach but it doesn't work??? He very well knows why multiple winners don't have perfect swings, It's called talent and he knows it, same reason tiger can win even when Haney and foley are destroying his swing. If you have enough talent to win multiple majors without working on mechanics by all means, have at it, for the rest of us who haven't gotten there by playing yet...we'll get there another way. By practicing mechanics, a shocking idea never heard of before in the world of sports, practicing technique, who would have thought! He straight away says "people that teach it (meanwhile doing the swirling finger point to the head indicating we are all crazy) get into this religion of a perfect swing" he's clumping all authorized instructors into one boat, and clumping stack n tilt and morad along with It and stating that the golfing machines concept is centered around one, perfect swing, when the complete opposite is true, and he knows it, he knows homer didn't mandate no weight transfer, he's misleading the viewer intentionally. This doesn't jive with me. So he goes to his house to learn from him while he's alive and then when he's dead he claims his teaching system doesn't produce results. He knows it does and he knows there HAVE been incredible ball strikers who use this system but instead just flat out misleads the viewer into thinking that's not the case. Because he knows that his online viewers are also watching videos about the golfing machine and they are checking out this forum and thinking, gee maybe this Jimbo McLame guy doesn't really know what's up with this golf thing. Scary Jim, you might lose a couple students, I'm sure you have enough to eat, as berntR pointed out this was uncalled for.
