Your answer absolutely cleared the fog for me. The "exaggerated" slide that Montgomery displays is what I've always tried to avoid like the plague. Much too difficult to control for me. I find it astonishing that 12-1-0 / 12-2-0 now recommend this slide for the non-expert player. In a full week training personally with Mr. Kelley and a year of telephone calls before and after, I never once heard him recommend the Slide Hip Turn. During his lifetime (and in TGM's first six editions) the listed 14th Component Variation was the Standard Hip Turn. Ne'er the less, the Slide Hip Turn is now the listed Variation in the 7th edition, published 23 years after his death. Emulate the Pivot illustrated in Photo 10-12-A #1 of TGM. Use Exercises 1 through 4 here to learn it: http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread4435.html. It is not the only way, but it is a sound way. In fact, it is the pivot of a list of great champions too impossibly long to cite. __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage!
