The worst of times...the best of times.

After a minor breakthrough Hitting my last time out for 8 pars on my way to a blustery day 89, I forgot to lock my wrists on the front nine this morning and shot a 48, only 3 pars!

Then the research bubbled out in a moment of clarity.

This is what Lynn said and umm, it really works, A LOT!




So what was the result of a Locked set of flying wedges and and on-plane shoulder thrust hmmm?

8 fairways in regulation and 6 greens in regulation, 2 birdie chips and 5 birdie putt chances but missed them all ( I got a little nervous), and settled for 5 pars for a 40!

The Hitting stroke, with Impact Fix staunchly maintained allows for excellent control and power with the right shoulder crushing the ball on plane! I never controlled my ball better and only very slick greens and chips that were too solid (putting chips right through holes!) stopped a better score!

Thanks Lynn!

Went to the range yesterday and found that I can reverse engineer my swing from my Hitting. Now that Impact Fix is so clear (thanks Lynn), I get where my hands should be at Impact. Stationary Head right shoulder on plane slight drag of the handle to the ball, like an inch of slight drag and the left wrist vertically uncocks and the clubs does all the work. I experimented with the swing and got another 10 yards of carry or so, almost 20 with the driver, but nowhere near the absolute control!

So Hitting is my competitive pattern. Now to build a set of clubs around it! uggestions?
