He teaches "one size fits all", or maybe even better, "If all you have is a hammer...everything looks like a nail".What exactly is it that TM teaches that keeps one from getting the COG forward before swinging? I agree HE doesn't..
His instruction was formulated from trying to copy Bonds, and nothing else. While he came close to copying Bonds on the surface, he missed what was happening under it.
From there, it was simply him trying to pound a square peg into a round hole...with a bigger and bigger hammer needed when folks began seeing that not everyone has the same style as Bonds, and started calling him on it when nobody "matched" according to him unless you agreed, praised, and patted him on the head.
As mentioned earlier, not all of his stuff is good or bad, just another way of teaching certain concepts of the swing that coaches have been doing long before he came along, and will continue to do when he's gone.
