I think that if Homer were here, he would be participating on LBG.com 24/7.

Ok, I think I've come to understand why I can't hit my driver out of my shadow, even my Weight Watcher's 5 lb. reduced shadow.

I never hook a drive, I push drives. I block drives (they go high down the middle and drop to the right), I do not compress the ball since the average of my drives is less than 195 yards.

I do not Finish Swivel. So what the heck am I doing. According to TT, I am Angle hinging all over the place. So the question is how to do the HH.

Anyway, the point is to train your hands what their role is........this will give you a feel that you can duplicate. While HH is a hinge pin mounted perpendicular to the ground and your left arm and club is serving as the blade.................please don't think about that when its time to hit a ball. Your hands have a job to do and because you're on an angled plane, to get that toe down the line its gonna feel like a pretty substantial roll. Show yourself a few times where your hands need to go, then let em go. I remember Ted Fort talking about this one day telling me "you ain't gonna believe how reckless its gotta feel"

I've worked very hard to feel the total opposite. Stiff right wrist/Firm, Flat Left Wrist, Angle Hinge if you got 'em!

Now the movies. Lynn, TT, Ted, everyone is firing the right arm. The only question is when or where on the downswing. I guess the bottom line is to feel the toe of the club pass the heel through impact, roll on that line, but just don't jump the gun by doing impact as a Finish Swivel!

So how do I leave my hands at the Top yet fire them past my front hip? If I leave my hands at the Top and Pivot, there is no way my toe of my club is passing the heel of the club unless I "snap" my hands big time by slamming the breaks on the Pivot!

I am confused! The good news is that I am hitting short irons and hybrids well, dead on line, and they stop.

It seems like I'm going to have to start using the left side of the course! UGH! Unless, I do the VJT and catch the ball earlier on the hitting arc and spin my hands like a motha!? Is that what Hogan did, Jones? Is that "Freewheeling?" Twirl that forearm while pushing almost straight down to the right foot to Both Arms Straight?

GEEZ, my brain hurts.
