I second that! Knowing the difference between pitch...punch and push has been a great help to me, especially as it relates to "fanning." It may be a very simple motion but most people do not do it! Why? They are too busy heaving a baby grand with a shoulder turn takeaway. For INSTANT simplification try the right forearm takeaway! My pops was acquainted with the great South African, Bobby Locke. He asked Mr. Locke what he thought to be the key to success in tournament play, Locke answered "Economy of motion...conserving energy." at least something to that effect. I never got that really until my stroke pattern started to shed uneccessary movement!
