More mirror work revealed that I NORMALLY SET UP WITH MY SHOULDERS SLIGHTLY OPEN!!! Lynn wasted no time showing me Mid-Body hands during our four days together. The result? Horizontal Hinge Hammering!!! Coupled with a firm Bent Right Wrist, and a correct Right Forearm Angle of Approach, square to closed shoulders make the Horizontal Hinge Hammer happen (sorry)! Doesn't matter how I take the club back or how I trigger the down swing, left heel plant, left knee point, right heel lift, right knee point, right elbow re-connection no matter, a square or closed front shoulder makes the hammer work. Mid- Body Hands or Moe Norman's angled set-up, sets the shoulders correctly for the solid hit! My theory and confirmed observation is that my shorter left leg and artificial left hip simply lead me to always stand with my left shoulder open and has to be purposefully closed. (And for some strange reason, the elbow plane achieved by a lawnmower pull takeaway feels like it generates a lot more lag into the ball!)

Progress and not perfection is the goal every day!
