[12 piece bucket]

Following three hours of discussion, demonstration, correction and testing, I would very much agree that Ben Still prefers the Basic Four Accumulator Pivot Stoke. Maximum Hip Action and a lot of right arm.

I passed the Set-Up Pre-Shot Routine Test, the Sand Trap Test, the Impact Bag Test and the Tire Test (with flying colors I might add). I failed the Tee Angled in Ground Test. Ben said that if I can’t pass that test, then there is no need to continue until I can. But being the gracious and sympathetic teacher he is, we continued anyway.

During Hour #4 I got it. Ben said: “Hit it straight” and I did. He said: “Let me see a six foot fade at 160 yards with the six iron”, and I did. He said: “now give me a six foot draw” and I did. “Hit it high, and I did. Hit it low, and I did. He said Punch shot, and I punched it. He said “Pitch it” and I pitched it. Angled Hinging, Duel Horizontal and Vertical. He said: “Very good compression”. Ok, I’m a Ball Striker.

I went out that afternoon and shot one of the worst scores in my life. Hmm? Typical. Life. Ya gotta see the humor in it all. LOL.

Now; if I can only remember how I did it with Ben. (Oh, the DVD)

D . . .I have heard of all them tests but the Angled Tee test . . . how does that one go?
