Improvement
 
Finally I have been playing a little better. Today 6 par, 7 bogeys and 5 double. But very inconsistent. I can have 3 par in a row and then continue with doubles. But a step in the right direction is better than no steps at all..If I could make less mistakes and get rid of the doubles and make a birdie putt or two, it would be ok by my standards..
I'm (lag)putting better and the drives are straighter (and longer). It's important for me to get to the full finish - arrow thru the ears.

Where do you notice wobbles in your motion?

I'm a little wobble blind. I can register when I'm not completing the swing to its full finish. If have enough weight shift/ axis tilt / right shoulder and right forearm on plane, if the hands are far enough in front of the ball at impact and if the LW really is straight in the thruswing, if the finish swivel works like it should etc - I really don't know. I'm not even sure all the imperatives and essentials are in place. I just hit the ball /make a more or less decent swing and hope for the best. But I can feel and see a good shot compared with a bad one.

Right forearm takeaway.
 
In the takeaway: How much separation/takeaway between the right elbow and the right side of the body is advisable? I tend to feel that I move the whole bent right arm unit more than doing a fanning motion with the elbow more or less stationary at almost the same place (if that is a goal?). But we don't want a lawnmower motion either !? Am I making any sense?

Air, pretend a wall prevents you from moving your head forward as you swing or Hit and that only your club head swivel is allowed to proceed under the wall. Your front elbow is against the wall stopping it's forward motion. Your head is resting against the wall. RFT, Pivot, WATCH THE BLUR AND WAGGLE EITHER TRACING OR COVERING, feel the wall's restraint, Swing or Hit watching Impact. Let the wrist swivel forward but not the head or body.

YOU MUST GET THIS FEEL INGRAINED OVER SEVERAL DAYS TO BUILD UPON IT!

Point your left knee at the ball then your right whle leaning against the wall! Or be at Impact Fix against the wall and RFT while Covering the club head path. Try to minimize your body and head motion to discover your points of balance. I know Lynn showed you the "Arrow between the Ears," and "Best Seat in the House." Practice getting there while leaning against the wall. (I am aware of this logical conundrum so do not despair. Imperfect world =imperfect language sometimes.)

Lately, my balance has been strong with a left Anchor Impact Fix starting position. Lynn might have just gotten puzzled but all great things start with small beginnings. :idea1:

Report back! :golf: nnnnnnnnnnnnnuhhhhhhhh (Caddyshack movie reference)

The Grid Test

Put up a handicap golfer -- or even a TOUR player or three (past and present) -- and let's see how they do on the 'grid' test.

Now, the surveyor gets out his transit, measures off against his control points, and says "Ben set his head 1.1263 inches to the right of center at address and then moved it to .34 inches ahead of center at impact." I say, fine. Does that mean I should teach my students to set their heads 1.1263 inches to the right of center at address and move it .34 inches ahead at impact?

Please.

Students need to learn the correct Pivot -- the correct circular motion of the Body -- and the correct Action of its Components (Feet, Knees, Hips and Shoulders) . . . not how to move the Head back and forth one inch.

Learn to Pivot, guys. And learn to keep your Head still while you're doing it. Picture the spinning skater and Center your arc. Make it the subconscious lynch pin of your Stroke, and introduce a new consistency to your game.

Specifics though, Air! Here's one or more: You are pressed against the wall so your head is still and Pivot will turn as if it were "in a barrel," only allowing your Forward Swivel to go underneath the wall and around. Got it?

Now, from Impact Fix RFT covering the actual club-head path. Do it slowly and slowly drag your right knee to the inside quadrant of the ball to come down. Angle Hinge right. Keep practicing slowly with dragging the right knee at about a 45 degree angle, slowly. Now I pinch PP # 3 with my thumb and forefinger to remind myself of its importance. Slowly point your PP # 3 as you slowly drag your right knee to the ball. Experiment with picking 3 Aiming Points on the Baseline of the plane. Do it in wet grass and make three different divots and look at their shapes.

My insight for me is that the slow drag of the right knee "Sustains the LAG," wonderfully and lets me pick the flight of the ball. This was new to my experience as my HCP is still 15 or so. Slowly dragging the knee actually allows me to make contact pretty well, as well as I did shooting a 77 or an 80.

Now, slowly drag the left knee to the ball and Trace the Baseline then either shift your hips or turn left or slowly drag your right knee to the ball again. Watch the beautiful Horizontal Hinge close as a door. Slowly repeat and practice the Aiming points to experiment with ball flights and shapes.:read:

Slowly with the knees and Aiming Points to figure out your ball trajectories and # 3 PP control. Don't forget to close the face for longer Angle Hinge clubs depending on the Aiming Points or opening the face for the longer (8 iron or below) Horizontal Hinges. I can now actually hook a 52 degree wedge off a green so beware of that HHinge! :naughty:

I read somewhere that you can open the face as much as 10 degrees to shape the HHinge but it looks like a lot to me. Still, the added zip produced some real rifle shots in flight and sound on Saturday that had me in very wet bunkers!

A week from Friday I will walk into the written test to become a PA Certified Golf Coach for HS. I hope they have some idea of what I will tell them! I know it works and I can prove it "upon their persons" as it is said in "The Death of Arthur"! :laughing9 :whistle:

Now that I am a "permanent " Social Studies and Computer and Business Technology teacher in PA, I might as well become a golf coach! \\:D/

Good question.

I believe more fanning and less separation in the early stage of the back swing may potentially reduce the slice tendency and contribute to a later release, more swing speed and ball compression. There are probably a zillion ways of getting into the right slot after transition, but I am a mirror image kind of guy where my takeaway and back swing tends to have a very direct implication on the down swing. And a lot of fanning early in the bs tends to give a lot of fanning (release) towards impact.

Air, take any piece of instruction try it and if it is TGM it will be bio-mechanically sound and complementary of other good bio-mechanical observations. The pieces of the puzzle will come together albiet slowly. I like BerntR's suggestion of "less fanning" and that might help me be more solid at Impact.

We try, we fail or succeed, and we learn to try again and build on the past.

Don't be too sure. I don't like guessing. I'm more of a get it in with teaspoons guy. I don't enjoy a lot of experimenting. It's more like : Do it like this. That's why I have visited Yoda. But then I lose it again - that's the frustrating part. So, now I'll try fanning it more and see if that helps to get rid of the (OTT) slice.
