If you use this as a means to monitor pressure point 4, I guess it can be useful. But I suspect that a lot of students have been taught to hold the headcover under the left armpit and try to keep it there to completion of the swing, which would prevent the left arm from being flung off the chest right after ball contact. When I try it that way, it creates the sensation of steering. Not good.

Anyone else feel this?

The 'under the arm' Clubcover or towel drill is what people -- even great golfer people -- do when they don't know the existence, the purpose or the motion of the #3 Accumulator from Release to the end of the Follow-Through and the subsequent On Plane Swivel to the Finish.

Such a misguided attempt to create or constrain these forces is hazardous to your Golf Stroke and your health. In Vijay's case, he suffered a broken rib and a few unintended weeks of rehab.

So much good stuff in the archives but quite a trawl. It is amazing how many people ask the same questions as soon as they join this site, myself included!!

Definitely need a "primer" or "FAQ" section for newbies. Not a "for dummies" section, but real answers to the most common questions we ask - the reason most of us are here is for truth, however complicated, rather than simplified junk.

How about a new thread for the "questions you most need answers to when you first chance upon the yellow book" ?

I have now found the answers to these but how about -

1. What and why is "impact fix"?
2. Why do pros not adopt a formal "impact fix" ?( great answer from yoda on 06/03/2004) to this one!!!
3. Flying wedges and dowel drills - what? ( great answer with photos etc in the archives - 09/04/2004 - thanks Yoda!! ( and golfingrandy and martee photos and upload skills respectively)


and so on...
