Basically what Manzella has on his site for his setup article is pretty much spot on. The only things he changed was: -Shoulders BACK AND DOWN in their sockets....this is important. You want to feel like you're almost squeezing your pecs to get your arms to the ball. This helps with distributing the load of impact further across your body vs a few select spots (like my shoulder) -Engage my abs and lower back just a hair more to "pre-load" the swing and impact. -Keep the more chin up and eyes down look. Thats it.... __________________ I'm not a TGM or PGA certified Pro, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night jim_0068 View Public Profile Send a private message to jim_0068 Find all posts by jim_0068
