Beautiful is one thing (it's a very dry place) - more important: warm and pleasant.

A pause at the top?
 

Since there is no real golf play today, I have time to ponder on this new concept for me - is a little pause at the top something to incorporate in my swing?

I used to hit from the top like mad. But the club throwing feeling more from the inside - the delivery line as Daryl pointed out for me - is this easier and safer to do with this little pause at the top that I'm talking about? If it can help me in my swing (not necessarily everybody else in their swings) to begin the downswing on the right path - it should be a good thing, I would think? It gives me more time at the top to feel the extensor action and perhaps get some better rhythm and balance and weight shift on the way down? I hope.

No right or wrong Mr. Air, you need to experiment...

For me, if I try to pause, I sort of "snatch" it on the way down. Very jerky. When i work on tempo, I like to feel a little extra "float loading", like my body is starting down beginning with the feet on up, and the clubhead is staying behind. That "snatch" move getting the club to start first is the destroyer of swings, and a great contributor to the "over the top" move.

There is always a possibility that something can go wrong. I was certainly jerky enough the old way and always OTT, so whatever can get me on the right track/line/path I am willing to try. If this hurts more that it helps - then I'll have to get rid of it (in March).
What did you mean by : Please see my signature. :)

I could be wrong. I have been before, and will be again. :)

I think it applies to us all.

LOL - Just kind of a disclaimer. All I do is try to regurgitate what I learn here. Hopefully I steal the proper information the majority of the time.

I have a very poor memory, but have become very proficient in the Rules Of Golf. For those with a bad memory, the secret is being able to find the answer in the rule book. I find the same thing with TGM, I wish I had a better memory, but I am getting better at finding the answers either in the book, or in one of YODA's or the other GURU's posts...

I've read your post several times. I hesitate to reply, because I don't know what to say - because I don't understand the meaning of what you are saying here, but if it's enough for me just to say : OK - I'll try that.

No problem Air, just a little language barrier. All I'm saying is that I am just learning too. Don't take what I say as truth, it needs to be confirmed by the others who have been at this longer and are a lot smarter than me... I'm just trying to help without making anything worse...

That I understood - and - ok - was a pretty good answer after all. I think you have much to offer in the help department.
