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?

I have just received Paul Runyan's : The short way to lower scoring.

I quess I'll read the whole book - but it was the putting technique I'm most interested to study.

Still OTT I'm afraid:

It may help you to get a better feel for things if you were to move your hitting mat a couple of feet over to your left, as you face the house, and then continue to hit the ball at the same place on the wall as you are doing in these videos.

Right now you are steering (in an attempt to miss your windows?) - I think.

Just a thought. Worth what you paid for it. :)

I would suggest perfoming many acquired motion:

adjusted address;
preturn hip;
backstroke with right forearm parallel to the floor, limited wristcock;
first move down: hip slide;
then #4;

see if there is difference on the right shoulder, it should drop down slightly instead of going out.
