Someday, Red Baron!
Dustin Johnson carries his 3 iron 50 yards further than I hit my driver by 50 yards!

How do I get to be a better golfer?
1) Firm, Flat Left Wrist
This is where I want to go!

Without a precise followthrough the finish tends to be contrived, off-plane and for show! Once those arms are pulled as taught as guidewires where else can you go but swiveling back on the face of the plane? I have found that if I focus on taking my power package to both arms straight...I swivel. A more important distinction is also seperating hinge action from the finish swivel.

But how do I get there?
The only natural result of a proper Both Arms Straight position carrying LAG through the ball is the Finish Swivel.
When I practice simply pulling my left arm straight down, as hard as can from RFT, my drives are straight albeit about 180 yards, and all my irons are crisp and biting. My theory is that with a quiet lower body, I hit both Arms Straight properly. Hitting my driver as far a Tiger hits his 8 iron is not acceptable, though I can have a single digit handicap with such a stroke.
What do I have to employ to straighten my left arm fully getting to Both Arms Straight and the Finish Swivel? Without this answer, my handicap is handicapped!
Is it the Pivot? Is it a Hip Slide then the Pivot?
