I understand the Taly. I have it. I think if I can master the FLW and Flying Wedges, and the proper ball position, I can build my very simple machine and shoot par or better often.

This guy would only be more perfect if he came from MN!

FLW? YOu bet!

"I try to make it simple. I take the left arm, rotate it to the top and don't worry about the wrist set," Stricker says. "I try to be as firm with my wrists as I can, and just turn through. I feel like that's a more consistent way."

I was taught to "lift" the right heel off the ground to transfer weight, and I believe this method was the main reason my swing wasn't as effecient as it could be.

With this change, I am aware of the contact my right heel has with the ground when I make impact with the ball.
Ed,

You are working on exactly the right things in exactly the right way. And, you are doing exactly what Homer said to do: Namely, you are focusing your initial efforts toward building an efficient, effective Golfing Machine on the end closest to the the ground...The Feet.

You're well on your way now. Stay with it!

If I am to get a machine that repeats, my head or my chest must be still. I have been watching Lynn in any of his videos. I move farther than he does while swinging when I breathe!

I have seen those "beach ball between the knee" drills on countless sites and magazines. I tried those lately, in an effort to remain stable. It decreased my body movement greatly! I swing in the mirror holding the ball between my knees. I can see the advantage of RFT in that regard. RFT produces a very quiet lower body, larger shoulder turn but very quiet Stationary Head. But I seem off balance while Hitting and "Spinning the Flywheel whlle Swinging. Still, Jeff and Ted hardly seem to move but wallop the ball.

Hogan's, Stricker's, most pro's shoulders really move, but their body seems so still! So I Hula left and kepp my right foot planted? The Pivot must be very subtle and quick. The arm snap after freely floating must be huge.

It doesn't seem possible to generate any real power from such a small move. Is it simply excellent timing?
