I know my mentor (yodasLuke) has stated it is the trick that is hardest to learn but for me (maybe because of physical issues) I cannot seem to use my right arm activelly without using my right hand resulting in the unbending of the right wrist resulting in casting etc. I suspect something in the lower pivot motion is required to make it work whether than pivot motion be active or passive. Either case where do I begin drill wise etc. to get there. I have tried the right arm only and can't really make good contact with the ball which of course limits the distance. As a thought process I drive my right hard as I can from the end of my backswing very hard right from the start. It is a reduced backswing so I do not believe I have over accelerated before I hit the ball. Dave Don't take this the wrong way, but why did you switch if you were striking the ball better swinging? __________________ I'm not a TGM or PGA certified Pro, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night jim_0068 View Public Profile Send a private message to jim_0068 Find all posts by jim_0068
