Multi-perspectivalism meets TGM

As a matter of fact, I have Henry and Holly (canines) on either side of me as I sit here reading my favorite thread and dreaming about Compression.[/quote]

In one of my graduate programs, we tried to imagine every intellectual point as a 3-dimensional, and look at it from as many sides as possible.

So, if my "mind is in my hands," and "sustaining the lag in balance" are top priorities, certain things must be done.

The Plane is the thing so medium EA is essential with either Hitting or Swinging. A steepness on my front side should actually give my right shoulder a "head start" with a little momentum. So my front hip needs to be out of the way with Hula or an open stance, about 20 degrees for a driver and as much as 30 degrees for everything else. A narrow stance, within the shoulders, helps me feel like that exercise where you stand with your feet together and swing back and through.

With my leg shortness, simply using EA and RFT activates # 3 PP, and stepping left,or simply raising my left shoulder a tad, or even a slight bump left gives me all the room I need. It allows me to drive my right shoulder, arms, hands and the Lag straight DOWN and OUT on Plane through the handle, and through the ball and through the ground. Or, with the same medium EA, simply roll on the TSP and Pivot the shoulder down!

I have two more days to post scores until the last GAP revision of the season. My hcp index is 11.1 now. I'm confident I can control the LAG well enough to shoot par or better. It's 38 degrees here tonight and the high tomorrow is called for 60 degrees and 65 degrees on Sunday. Our regular foursome is disbanded for the season. Maybe I can get in 72 holes this weekend!

Having a new/used Adams 9.5 degree (stiff shaft) Speed Driver helps!!!!

Now, a set of muscleback irons, maybe, and a trip to Cuscowilla in April....what's the weather like there in December I wonder?
