looking forward to it

i suspect there are a few of us could lay claim to a less than text book swing - yours had better be pretty funky now you've laid your cards on the table

Ok, the good news?

When I loose all hope, when the under-endowed young lady in the simulator outdrives me by 20 yards in the air, when the dog bites, when the bee stings, I must remember my FFLW (Firm, Flat Left Wrists).

More good news on my way to 38 putts and shooting an 88 on the simulated Old Course from the championship tees? My FLW, my FFLW (Firm, Flat Left Wrist), allowed me to increase my driving average from 176 yards to 198 yards.

More good news? I only messed up 3 holes, A LOT! I mean I was 8 over on two par 3's and 4 over on one par 5 (The hole before the road hole has an out of bounds line which I crossed twice for a 9! )

So, a FFLW, firm, bartender, cool, like the fruitiness of my boxed sangria. So, my bet is that the FFLW allows the Finish Swivel to activate.


Nice guess, newbie, but there is soooo much more to know!

Regarding the post-Impact alignments you have observed:

1. In the video, as Mgjordan correctly noted, I am Impacting a heavy Bag with a light stick. The Bag is non-resilient, and its mass is several hundred times greater than that of a Golf Ball. I am Making a Motion, the bottom portion of which has been rudely interrupted by the Bag hitting the stick just as hard as the stick is hitting the Bag. My Left Arm and Wrist have not suffered the same collision. Hence, the stick has been buried in the Bag; my Arms and Hands have continued forward; and the extreme alignments you have observed are simply God's Plan. In fact, for the alignments to be any less extreme, at Impact I would have had to Quit. And that wasn't going to happen!

2. Further, I amTraining with the express purpose of eliminating the Golfer's Public Enemy #1: The Bent Left Wrist through Impact. I am training to take Lag Pressure to Both Arms Straight and beyond. As stated in the video, Impact alignments at a normal Ball Location are irrelevant to my purpose. Also, the Angled Hinge Action (and its Rhythm) of this Hitting Stroke have been stifled by the Impact. For obvious reasons, the Finish Swivel is non-existent.

3. Even so, the Motion is not as exaggerated as you think. While it is obviously a wrench of your concepts -- and those of tens of millions of other golfers as well -- what you see in the video is what the great playersFeel through Impact. And the reason they get such different results than we do is because they get there -- Through the Ball with a Flat Left Wrist -- and we don't. It's as simple as that! All this is good news because you are now standing at The Gateway to your best golf.

Rarely do Players -- even the 'good' Players -- sustain the Clubhead Lag Pressure through Impact. In fact, Lag Pressure Point Pressure is in its greatest jeopardy 3-6 inches before Impact: What should have been a sustained drive to Both Arms Straight becomes a Throw. To be sure, it can be an 'expertly' delivered Throw, but it is a Throw nonetheless. And history's great strikers don't Throw...they Drive! Hitting or Swinging, they Drive. I'll put some photos up soon that will surprise you.

Homer Kelley told us:

"The Clubhead Lag 'lays' into the [Right Forefinger] #3 Pressure Point. The Club doesn't want to go along, but it has to. You don't Throw the Club! It's like dragging your baby brother."

Now, it's up to you. It's one thing to read about a drill. It's another thing to see it done and to ponder its usefulness. But to actually do it and enjoy its benefits -- aah, there's the rub!

"Do or do not. There is no try."

A FFLW is part of the heaviness of a Lag-laden, proper stroke on the way through, through, I said and Yoda said, Lag splitting through the ball.

Here's the video Yoda explains in the quote above:

I admit that I cannot do that, YET! I must learn how! If you have a "+" hcp. you can do it, which means there are a lot of golfers that need to learn this, also.
