Returning To Hitting '09
Firstly I wish all here a Happy and Prosperous New Year
I have tried very hard in the last 8 mths to learn swingers teqnique,some results have been very pleasing,some not.
I have vowed and declared that I will be returning to and staying with H/pattern for '09 ,possibly beyond (god willing) . My aim for the '09 year is to get down to 4 hcp(presently 7).So Ted ,heaps of questions coming in the near future.....Cheers and Happy New year to all at LBG

I'm glad you're ready to get in touch with your masculine side. I'll do my best to help, so let the questions fly.

Backswing anology
Ted,I came across a anology regarding hitters backswing in the archives here,it was to do with the action of the card dealer dealing the last card to player on his right (FANNING ACTION) with R/forearm. I had I believe been doing it wrong,I was in fact using the lawnmower action which was causing me trouble under pressure.
My shots would go left in a big way,I also think it was causing a misuse of ACCs 2-3.Your help here would be grateful...Cheers

The lawnmower move is one of the worst things I've seen in modern instruction. It's a famous fad at the moment, but it has no geometric basis or advantage. I don't care how many "planes" you're trying to use. It's garbage. Have I made myself clear, without being too politically correct?

I'm glad you found that gem. Because, it will have a profound effect on #1, #2, and #3 accumulators.

YOu being an ex pro boxer, Id tend to think that hitting is right for you. Active arm extension being like a jab. Did you dance around the ring? Wonder if it will relate to your pivot. Maybe boxing is the sport most like golf? Weird thought.

I can see that, a boxers weight towards the toes like a runner, in the direction that you are going, punching. Whereas golf being rotational you need it more centered. But we also need our weight left at impact for most shots. Sort of like taking a jab to your extreme left across your body, with the right shoulder down low close to what you are aiming at (the ball) and then extend right through it. The right shoulder being like a launching pad. Some hitters have more pivot than others, some boxers dance, some drag there back foot around the center of the ring like Norton. Either way they can hurt you or compress the ball.

You know VJ Trolio was an amateur boxer, golden gloves if memory serves me right. Luke packs a punch on the course too. He's lights out long from a pretty steady platform. He'd be a back foot dragger I bet if he was a boxer maybe, although he was a runner in school.

Thanks guys for your input
First game in 09 after changing back to hitting,played at a resort course here in oz (called BARHAM) 4 over par and got R/up.
The most pleasing part is that on a lot of holes we had to avoid bunkers with drives,and my swing held firm under a lot of tests
Thanks TED for answer regarding shoulder to release,I will work on that more diligently.
Down with shoulder to release and then straighten R/arm through to straight
