thanks, i will check that out, my TGM book should be here any day now. Actually i've been wondering whether i should work on hitting or swinging & what might work best longer term, but i think it is something that can wait awhile whilst i get a few of the concepts understood & actions under control. I feel like a kid in a sweet shop, running around trying a bit of this and that - it's all good & i have the feeling of wanting to fast forward it all to a spot where i have a decent handle on it, but i know it will take some time & i'm lucky in that i can hit a few balls everyday & at least make some progress.

Tim,

Again, you've nailed it. In the day Jerry and I spent watching Yoda teach, not once did he mention hitting or swinging. He looked at each student, and worked on the components he felt needed work.

Personally, learning hitting has been HUGE for my short game and is always being developed using basic motion. Your basic motion stroke may one day open your eyes as to your preference, but definitely does not need to be jumped on right away...

YODA, please don't let me steer Tim wrong... would you agree?
