It's very fuzzy in my mind, now, but one day, I felt the club just sort of hit the ball by itself in the sweet spot. I went out and shot an 84 having no thought except "Don't move and don't breathe."

And then it was gone. I had no clue so I asked the guy where it went. He said "you'll need eight more lessons!" Honest.

I walked out. Last summer, I had an AI who made one $30 lesson last 90 minutes. I learned a ton.

But he wasn't Lynn or LBG, though he read the book.

I keep thinking the "Vertically Uncocking Left Wrist " is huge. I know I over swing a lot.

I will research "overswinging." My sense is that the Vertically Uncocking left wrist, to be truly effective, must move very little in an alignment sense. it has to be that way to get the right "baton twirl" at the bottom. We'll see!
