It is ALL mental! By that I mean I believe is has a lot to do with having the right "concepts." Seems as if will never cut it except for out of bounds right that is! Two "biggies" for me were that the left shoulder is the center of the orbiting club head. To be honest I had never really thought about it! But I was operating (looking at my perverted axis tilt) on the head being the center of it all. Of course it IS the center of the pivot, but its relationship to the left shoulder is very important. The second is the right forearm takeaway. This made my newfound hand alignments meaningful i.e. hands to pivot. No longer wheeling it around with the shoulders then shifting up with the arms. My biggest challenge other than priming over 20 years of habitualized ignorance is "accepting" the turning feel of the right forearm flying wedge. Like many I would look like I was a crossing guard holding up a stop sign to say "STOP!"(what Yoda demonstrated as the common tendency in the Drills DVD with the badminton raquets) I keep a pair of pink $5.00 raquets in my bag and swish them quite regularly on the range. I am loading the club like a swinger, as opposed to a hitter trying to swing I can feel #2 PP, and particularly the rotated pressure point (#3pp)! A lot of fun really.
