Hi Mark...
Can't wait to see you and the gang again in August. Duesseldorf here we come! Then off to the Black Forest with Mrs. Yoda for a cuckoo clock. See you then!
On the shorter shots, the club feels like a feather. On the longer the shots, the club becomes heavier. The shortstop in baseball that catches the ball as he lands on his stomach and tosses it to second feels a light pressure against the ball in release. The guy in center field that's on the warning track and throws it home feels a very heavy ball or maximum pressure. The eyes see the target and the hands sense the pressure required to get it there.
Let the Golf World continue to employ the 'Seems As If' of distance control through length of backswing. You now have something far more scientific and dependable: Clubhead Lag Pressure Point Pressure. Use your Computer (Chapter 14) and the technique presented in 6-C-2-0 -- your 'normal' Pressure varied in plus or minus five-yard increments -- and you will become deadly accurate. I promise you that a major league outfielder does not have one length of 'backswing' for the throw to second base; another to third base; and still another to home plate. Instead, his Computer instantly calibrates the distance necessary -- it varies with each fielded ball! -- and his educated hand delivers the exact amount of thrust -- lag pressure! -- to deliver the baseball right on the money. That's why they earn the Big Bucks!
Learning to control your distance by controlling your Lag Pressure is fun. I suggest you buy a set of small orange field cones -- available at sports stores -- and use them as yard markers in practice. A set of six cones works nicely, e.g., one at 75 yards and the next five at 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100 yards. Or whatever other yardages you're working on, e.g., 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 yards. That's for wedge play. For even more fun, use the other Clubs, too. For example, if your normal three iron carry is 200 yards, put the cones out at 185, 190, 195, 200, 205, and 210 yards. Practice the technique with your Driver, too. You know, 275, 280, 285, 290, 295, and 300 yards . Now, that really is fun! And, by the way, it's also something that the 'different lengths of swing' school will never understand!
I hope this gets covered at "Cuscer-willer", this is good stuff!!

It will be, AG: Power Regulation (2-M-2) in all its glory!
I worked with three earlybirds today -- Alex Chung and Burner (both well known to these forums) and LPGA professional Melissa Dziabo (The Golf Club at TwinEagles, Naples, Florida). We had a great time during the day and a wonderful dinner tonight with late arrivals Paul Smith (Golfguru) and Bambam. Tomorrow, things get serious as 23 more pilgrims arrive, and we get this thing kicked off!

You said it. I'm dying out here. If the event is half as successful as, we that can't be there think it is, all those in attendance are going to have a terriffic time and a wonderful learning experience.

It isn't easy being green (with envy)- I've been lucky to attend several past events with Lynn so I can't complain, but I know what I'm missing so I'm going disappear - I'm weak.
