Now using this technique with lighter back spasms but looking for a new one (shot 46/46 UGH):


Impact Fix, EA/RFT to Top, Lean left and Throw to Finish via driving pp # 1 and Primary Lever.

No more hooks to middle of green, but I do not really have any power in this technique. It is a very good technique for staying in the middle of fairways and greens so the precision is excellent, but not much power.

On the shorter holes, this is an excellent tq. But as soon as I start searching for power, it is snap hook city. I believe the driving PL disconnects me from the source of my power or I am not keeping my BRW intact. Or, perhaps the driving is just over the top stuff.


When I simply Lean left and use RFT and RF drive, the shots are much more effectively compressed as I hit down more crisply and the ball flies up the mountain then lands softly.
I can "punch down" with my RF (right forearm) while leaning left. It also seems as if that when I really lock out my BRW and drive on my front leg and drive my shoulder down hard, I get the same effect. (Maybe I'm throwing out there, too, but the RW is held so far back that there is nothing to over the top with?) Is that the "underhand throw?"Or, if I maintain the Impact Fix position up the plane and then step and rotate Fix back down, is that "underhand throw?"

How much protection against OTT does a Startup Swivel provide?

Since my right leg is longer then my left by 1.5" + if I maintain my right knee bend throughout RFT and front leg drive, that has to guarantee no OTT? What if I drive my right knee in to Pivot? Wouldn't that send the back shoulder down right away to avoid OTT?

Thoughts?

The hotel room I'm staying in has finally got their router working after being here for two days without it.

I have a lot to get to so I'll have to about throwing the hooker out!

Get your minds out of the gutter!!!

I'm talking about the wonderful work done with me by "the G man" and "KC Masterpiece!"

You see I'm speaking about me. I'have been the hooker of late and managed to get myself in quite a series of compensations which we all know is a bad place.

I arrived in MSP (Minnesota St. Paul) at 10:30am. "the G man," Jerry G, one of the most gracious men in the universe, picked me up at the airport and whisked me away to Greenleaf Country Club where Kevin Carter "KC Masterpiece" helps many, many North woods golfers work with TGM. He is such a good teacher that people are giving him their children for life! That's right! They drive by the club, and get out of the car carrying their children in their arms and beg him to make the young ones into the next Steve Stricker!

At Kevin's club, we got to go down to the "Inner Sanctum" replete with a net, video camera's and lots of multi-colored dowels! Kevin decided to check out my swing and immediately had me flare out both feet to aid my pivot. As he observed my longer right or back leg (+ 1.75"), he pointed out how I was bio-mechanically getting stuck on my right side (the longer leg).
He also observed how far back my ball position was of center.

Kevin was supervising a tournament and Jerry took me to his lovely home to meet the family (beautiful wife Pat amd daughter Jen (and her nice friends) and Henry and Holly, their very cute dogs. You probably don't want to hear about the sumptuous feast we had but you do need to know we watched "Extreme Home Makeover" which was touching and beautiful, and HGTV programs including the "Next Design Star" which allowed us to yell at the TV quite a bit when we saw those terrible designs!

After our fiesta, I went home to practice the major insights Kevin and Jerry had helped me understand! (Try not to laugh Daryl and OB). I did not realize that rolling my hip back put me on plane by moving my back shoulder back!!

One they showed me how easy it was to be on plane, the next real question was what had I been doing? Easy, I had been sliding my hips and not using the "Wild Bill" marching drill. My RFT was funky and I was off plane with it. Once I rolled my back hip back, I was perfectly on plane ON PURPOSE!"

The next question was then logical! How the heck can I consistently come down on plane?

This will be our starting point for the next post.

Goodnight! We golfed a Donald Ross course, today, par 72.8, slope 136 with the excelllent golfer Kevin Sweeny, anothrt TGM adherent who just fished 2nd at his clun championship by one shot and is a very nice guy! I am exhausted!
