I had several nice surprises yesterday including the uniform, shallow divots with my wedges and middle irons. I started to feel like a TV PGA "superstar" with the consistent divots and much closer to the pin results.

I also realized today, that I can really trust the # 3 PP drag/lag and that The Aim Point technique is a really powerful tool from any lie! My right forearm will go, as Lynn always says, wherever we point. "Point and reach for the cup!" Yesterday, I got confused with sometimes trying to guess the measurement of the Right Forearm Angle of Approach (RFAOA). Then I snapped out of it and remembered what Daryl said about using that RFAOA to measure!

With any ball lie, I would keep my impact fix and simply place the wedges down on the ground wherever I would like to lag to or drive through. Then I would RFT back to my right ear and then simply fire! I could compensate for any lie by adjusting the Aim Point and keep my right wrist really bent.

I am sure I am missing something basic but this seems incredibly easy. Just be gentle when you call me a moron remembering how sensitive I am!

Understanding the RFAOA has allowed me to have a better understanding of the Plane, Axis Tilt, set-up, thrust and now Aim Points and now pressure points, and the tracing/covering the line techniques.

Making progress not perfection is the goal. I've realized that tracing the Baseline of the Plane helps the left wrist lay flatter and the right wrist be more bent for swinging and covering that line helps the right forearm drive the heck out of Pressure Point # 1, the heel of the right hand on the left thumb.

I was trying to figure out how to drive more effectively for more power. I know that I have to stay on the inside of my right foot for swinging or hitting. Turning my right hip to the left works great for swinging but for hitting? So I experimented with driving off my right leg which from extra use is a lot stronger than my right. Man, the loading of PP # 1 was strong and instantaneous! BAM went the impact bag!!!

So, does it work for swingers? Is this what VJ Trolio's fine book on Hogan "The Final Missing Piece" speaking about, namely, a push off the inside right edge of the back foot shifting most of his weight to the left before the thrust forces the front hip to turn left? Well, I will experiment an report back! Anyone else can chime in too!
