We worked these drills as a group at Falcons Fire, and they have been a tremendous help to me. I had worked so hard on tracing and monitoring my hands, I had completely ignored my pivot. Lynn was quick to point that wobble out. Lynn, if you remember you sent me a home shot video that was a tremendous help. It was the one with your dog playing tug o war in the background. Not sure if it is on the website. I do the drills now while swinging a weed cutter, its a good workout.

I remember, 8cork. That was a fun little video to do -- I never posted it -- especially demonstrating lag pressure with the help of a pit bull! I am considering producing another for the site.

Yoda, your post explaining all the pitfalls of these exercises was perfect!

Sometimes your words read like a "pop-up" book - so illustrative! Thanks!

The MacDonald exercises would make a special edition "pay per view" download video classic!

I would love to hear your thoughts about his words on page 41 of my copy...

"There is a remarkable analogy between the way in which a woodsman swingas an axe and the manner in which an expert golfer strikes a golf ball....

... The movement, (sic) is really a picking up with the right arm and bearing down with the left arm"

Thanks again.

PS. you can't be a real instructor unless you develop a real accent ...did you hear Bob Torrance interviewed!... A uncompromising Scot who has not had media training...thank God!!:laughing9

I don't know what you guys are talking about...I understood him perfectly :golf:
Since I have not been able to play at all this year, I have been looking at and doing the MacDonald drills quite a lot to help improve the swing.
