Give me the Alignments! I had some perverted notion of Impact Fix! It was wrong. Lynn showed me the value of Mid-Body Hands with Standard Address. Bent Left Wrist and Straight Right Wrist. All of the sudden, my club was square to the ball and bit the ball before taking turf. My Basic Motion tattled on me though! I was terribly wooden in my heels and my shoulders were rocking and blocking. I had swaying hips not turning hips . I had no balance! Two hours later, my golf shots were showing an inverted fish hook shape and my driver was carrying 200 hards with only two thoughts in my mind: "Standard Address" and "Heels lift in Balance!" My club head speed increased by at least 100% as I stayed in balance! What did Lynn show me? http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=4435 ICT I don't know how to place the pictures of Exercises 1-4 in this text. I need some help with that, but as soon as I got my left heel up and right hip STRAIGHT BACK, my shoulders flattened out and I had gained tremendous whip on the club! Lynn demonstrated how balance actually allowed the feet and arms to move in a coordinated fashion! Because my body was so quiet, I was able easily view the ball and watch the club firing through with what seemed to be an incredibly quiet body and almost perfectly still head. Almost an hour later, as Lynn was logically layering connections with the machine I sort of got lost. Without saying anything to Lynn, I quieted my body and simply maintained my balance with heels up and down and the ball began to yelp off the club face! 7 iron, wedge, driver it made no difference. March on my right heel left heel comes up. March on my left heel and right heel comes up as I step and face the shot! I had so much balance, I was able to simply hold my "arrow through the ear" position indicating great Balance, Swivel, and Extensor Action. And then I would simply let the club slide down through my hands. More to come!

Progress and not perfection is the goal every day!
