The ball disappears much more quickly and the Apex of my Swing and Hitting procedure with range balls was consistently, more than 10 tries, well past the 200 yard markers! Woo hoo! I can see a large difference between the flight of an Angle Hinge and Horizontal Hinge work in height of distance and turning over versus dropping to the right! So cool! ICT I just found this quote and it made so much sense I was dumbfounded. Quote: The rotation in the downswing "Duval like" does not allow the overtaking of the right arm. Angled hinging is a neccesity for hitters. The pushing of the right arm closes the clubface. When you play with a turned grip for too long, you'll always try to fight off the left shot with rotation. Those are mismatched components and are sometimes mistaken for clubhead lag. The quote was by Ted Fort regarding Hitting and is found here: http://lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread192-2.html With the proper short thumb grip, Hitting from Impact Fix (a slight opening of the front hip), or Swinging, the ball position should determine a whole heck of a lot! Off to the range will report later! ICT __________________ HP, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
