Homer called the wedges "The Flying Wedges" because they fly like an aircraft wing structure, through space on a predetermined flight plan destination. If the wing structure changes, the wing bends and guess what? The aircraft is out of control. I fought flipping for a long time and the magic formula that cured the ailament was to be consciously aware of the wedge alignments and allow the pivot to take them through their destination. Zone 3 (the hands) delivered by a structured on-plane zone 2 (arms) using extensor action, powered by zone 1 the pivot.

As you get comfortable allowing the pivot to transport your quiet hands, which lead the clubhead through impact, you can then begin focusing on pressure points and aiming the lag pressure using #3 PP.

There is a great drill that Yoda likes to use and you will see in the Collin Neeman video. Begin with Basic Motion (chipping) and take it to acquired motion (pitch shots) which is your arms never pass parallel to the ground. Resist the urge to swivel into the finish. Never let the clubhead pass your hands. Over time, work up to 150 yard pitch shots with your 5 iron and you'll get the idea.

And there is always that high tech wet mop, wet towel over the clubhead drill...

Opps...I just saw that this is the TGM Basic thread, looks like I have some splain'in to do...
GREAT post BAGGER!!!!
