Learning to Hit

[innercityteacher]

This is my current hitting with a driver. Right forearm picks up and drive down. Easy to perform, ball goes straight but only around 240 yards.

1.Should I stand more closer to the ball with the left arm more closer to the body?
2.Am I at the STP, zero shfit?
3.Have I did the take out the slack move as I don't feel th initial bump.

Appreciate any of your comments.

Thanks.

I have been making the mistake you made in your first video by trying to maintain a real, rigid, "Zero-shift." If you research "Impact Fix," you will discover more "tilt" at address with a softer right arm, a very special grip which I was unaware of until a few days ago (left index finger as trigger and left thumb on the "aft" or back of the shaft), and a very simple motion of bending and unbending the right elbow. (This special grip is very new to me and it works well with my short and mid-irons, but it has me hooking my driver so I have to play the ball way up in my stance to get the horizontal hinge fade effect or a straight ball. Anyway, the other guys will give you the info on this. They are expert, I am a novice.)

While using this "Search" function on this forum and looking up "Impact Fix," also look up "Extensor Action" which you simply must use to benefit in your full swing, chips, pitches and putts.

So "Impact Fix, Extensor Action, Right Forearm Takeaway (look this up if you have not so far), TOP, and then you swing or hit (which I'm not that solid on but Yoda, Daryl, OB Left, Kevin, 12 Piece and lots of others are).

When you "Search" go to the earliest or "Last" posts first. Study and look, look, look!

If your resources allow, I would recommend "The Address Routine" with Yoda and Ted Fort and the "Alignment I" DVD set.

The free videos are all instructive as you know, but have you looked at "Holies and Polies?" It shows Yoda working with person's right forearm hit and pivot. Very instructive!

Keep up the good work!
