I'm talking about small and big differences. If you can feel a bad stroke while you're executing you are not far away from feeling a bad stroke while doing the back swing. Perhaps you can feel that already. And perhaps you can even sniff whether you're going to be successful before you start moving the club.

As you get better you may be amazed by how small differences you can feel.

I am at a stage where I usually can feel a lot of early indications about what's waiting at address. At my best I see/feel a good impact coming. Sometimes when I struggle, I get a visual of a snap hook. What I feel is a reflection of how I am aligned and how I have programmed the motion. So part of the programming and the alignment is controling me but it should be the other way around.

Part of the improvement for me is to become better at reversing the relationship: Feel the stroke I intend to make and then program the machinery for proper execution.

I don't think I'm so developed in the feel department. Probably because the mechanics were so wrong. Maybe I'll soon get better regarding the feel you are talking about. All I know is that when the set-up with the right alignments is/looks ok, the chances for a good shot (via good motions) are much better.

I am off to my son-in-law's parents where the whole extended family are celebrating Christmas this year. (our turn next year) We are leaving now and will stay there til tomorrow. Over and out for now.
Merry Christmas everyone!

ICT,

I note your 'Happy Holiday' messages on three threads. No problem for me -- :laughing9 -- but, Air is going to be seriously concerned about your Christmas Advantage in the 'post count' war.

He is absent -- with leave and with family! -- and, still, you exploit your opportunity. :violent:

All in an unashamed fashion, i.e., without your normal 'length of post' disadvantage on the Unweighted Post Leaderboard! :dance:

Beware the wrath of the Norwegian!

:confused1

Thanks. The trip went well both ways, but really cold. This morning it was minus 25 F - and the coldest place 100 miles further to the north-east it was minus 40! On the bright side, I got two ball cards for Christmas so I can hit an additional 40 buckets of balls this winter.

I used it up at Cuscowilla the first day in the basic motion brush - brush technique when you were putting balls down one at a time while I was continously brushing back and thru and making a lot of shanks. After that experience I pretty much have settled down and City doesn't upset me at all.

Let's start the day with a little golf thought.

The downstroke.

Down and out (and forward). 3 D. That makes the delivery path a little in-to-out thru the ball. A horizontal hinging is a good choice? But in stead of only rolling the left forearm in the thru swing - is it also a good thing to active role /rotate your right forearm to get a good impact and ball contact?

I'm not sure why you are asking this? But the answer would probably be yes.
Any thoughts on the active rotation of the right arm as it is straigthening out in the downswing as well as the horizontal hinging of left forearm thru impact if this gives a better ball contact which I think it might do in my case...?
