Major omission for me to leave out #15 . . . THANKS FOR GETTIN' HIM IN DA GAME!!!
Hands mid-body with ball off left heel (flared), feet together.
RF on plane, club behind the ball on sighted plane line
Rehearse club straight in front of me (horiz.) FBRW Like a rock!
Right foot back, balanced stance, ball moves= right foot goes back.
RFT, slight EA, trace BLP to shoulder height or less!
Nose over the ball as I step and drag.
Front 9 was bad news. I hit several clubs really really well past their normal distances! As I stepped forward, I threw my right shoulder at the ball. I hit a PW 130 yards and a 3 hybrid 220 yards which was really sucko for my score since the pin was 30 yards away each time! "Momma said there be days like this!" I shot a 48.
I dialed it back to just stepping through and shot a back 9, 41.
I lost $15.
Well, I have no idea how you guys control your distance with the shoulder strike. Maybe that's why so many people swing?
Do you simply use the hit for drives and long shots only?
I'm really not upset. I was dreaming of par today, and instead, I got monster distance. I was dying for monster distance until I realized I didn't need it to shoot par. UGH!

If I do my FBRW and make it rock solid, and trace the BLP with EA, I'm going to score, but not on "big-boy courses," so I need to know how to dial up the distance like JerryG and Kevin (when his elbow heels) and Dodger and Bartly (who are scary beasts).
When I do simply freeze the BRW like a rock and trace the BLP, I have a perfect backstroke. With short clubs, I can straighten the right elbow and the ball mountain climbs dead on line landing softly.
If I get a perfect backstroke (or close) and keep that power package braced with the right arm intact, should I be able to step and roll the whole shoulder and package Down and through the ball for the long clubs? Is that what the "crap smacker" is?
Lynn shows on the TEd Fort tape that there is no independently extending right elbow so the whole power package must come down together as allowed by the Pivot right?

Depends on your Release procedure. Sweep, Snap, etc.
Daryl? What is the release called where you pivot and drive down...

...In the same set-up as impact Fix? I step on my left heel(after hula)and roll the back shoulder at the ball with my FBRW frozen and my right shoulder driving the PL and FLW to China through the ball, even the driver (that ball flight and straight line is so cool).
I have managed to get Impact Fix correct at END and hold it frozen. With the Pivot being correct, and Impact Fix being correct at END, my only real problem is reading the putt, right?
BTW, D, how is your summer going, and your golf?
I'm sorry I haven't asked. I have been chasing my white whale of par.

I played 27 holes, today.
Got to the course, early, 6:15 am. Tee time at 6:45am. I warmed up with 4 acquired motions FBRW/TBLP/Pivot/Right Shoulder Follows DOWN, DOWN, DOWN (from 20 balls).
Hit 10 more balls practicing FROZEN BRW and trying to really roll the shoulder down. Off to the tee.
Pulled first ball left at about a 20 degree angle, and the 9 iron was pulled left of the green by about 10 feet. I went on to shoot a weird 44. Dbl, almost bird, almost bird, almost bird (all 3 GIR's putt burns edge), dbl, dbl, trpl, par, par. I still have a bad habit of forgetting to really extend and trace the BLP and taking my hands too far in. I also have a bad habit of playing the ball too far back. That leads to snap hooks, pulling into trees and missing greens in really foul places given a hard and fast ground.
Lessons learned! Ball moved up. TRACE! LOOK! PIVOT and RIGHT SHOULDER FLOWS TO BALL. Shoot 40. Par, birdie, almost birdie (edge), bogie, bogie, par (very nervous, tell myself "hang on, one bogie and two easy pars and I shatter the 40 barrier,")203 yard par 3 and I send the par putt 20 feet past the hole. Dbl. So I smother a drive into the biggest pine tree south of the North Pole on the next hole. DBL. Par.
9 more holes. Lessons learned. Lots of good shots. Shoot 40 again.
I have to keep my nose over the ball. TRACE, STEP and ROLL.
I have this 40 thing down!

Practice is best done at home, without a club and without a ball. (dowels and badminton rackets ok)
The Range and practice area and green are good for fine tuning and having fun.
When you Play, try to get the ball in the hole with the fewest number of strokes. (I'm not kidding)
Develop a Pre-Shot Routine.
That may be true Daryl, but my avatar is more charming!

That's does it Daryl! PM me your address. I'm driving to Chicago to kick your but around your home course!
You had better be a par shooter, buddy, and I get strokes!
$ 2 Nassau and it's cash only!!!! Oh, and you are buying lunch!
