I sort of get this!
Quote:
There is so much power in the hitting motion! I use it for my sand, chips and pitches. :read: But it is terrifying, as you all know, not knowing where the ball is going with a driver, hybrid or even a 9 iron. And on the front 9 yesterday, I kept searching for the correct ball position but fighting my hands, my right wrist was not staying bent! Sometimes I'd shape a hybrid with a little draw right on line to a pin. Sometimes, I'd bomb a drive (280 yards down a slot in the fairway) but then hook a 9 iron (1.5 club elevation), it just never occurred to me that the ball position and hand position are directly related! :idea1: So I sort of wimped out and opened my club face and kept swinging to keep the ball fading back to the middle (and gave up at least 30 yards). And I shot a 40. I feel like I can shoot par swinging but I can shoot lower than par with a hitting stroke. This tip will help me be a better swinger and hitter. ICT |
I Get Letters . .
Lynn,
Wanted to follow up since our lesson. I have been following the drills. Let me tell you, WOW, what a difference in my ball striking- I am hitting my dirver LOOOOONNGGG, and of course much straighter. I want to thank you for making the understanding and action of the swing much simpler than I have ever had! I want to come back down- Perhaps in the Fall, give myself 8 weeks or so of drilling--- thanks Man- what a difference! Mark Moxley |
Hitting it big and enjoying life as a swinger!

Lynn, I finally really figured out the "pointing at a cup and reaching for it" analogy for Hitting! :golf: I am pursuing the Atkins diet and have lost 7 pounds now in about 10 days and had a crisis on the course yesterday! :( I couldn't find my pot belly to hurl it into my swing. I also have been fatigued by my body starting the changeover from burning carbs to burning protein. I was lost without a clue! :confused1 So I dragged myself to the range today and thought about how much lighter I feel and started to move my feet and knees! :happy3: Before I knew it I was cracking some 240'sh yard range ball drives concentrating on moving my knees to the ball and vertically un-cocking my left wrist and my aim was solid. :) I was overjoyed and so I overdid it with two large buckets (about 200 balls)! As I neared the end of the second batch I really got tired and was soaked with the Mid-Atlantic humidity. I thought about reaching for the cup or in this case, the ball. I teed one up, RFT'd, and stretched out my right forearm and hand to the ball. :laughing1 250 yards and straight down to the end of the range with a big 'whoosh!!!" LMAO! The remaining 20 balls went the same way with hybrids, wedges, and irons as well as the driver! I pulled out a scuffed NXT S from Saturday and put it into the woods past the 250 marker on the fly! :golfcart: Sometimes, I am very dense but sometimes, I'm not!!! Thanks Lynn for the diet tips!

Letter From A Lurker After a Phone Call
Hey Lynn,
Played today and hit balls. The only thing I concentrated on was the bend in my left arm in line with the shaft. Remember I'm left handed. It felt like when I took the club back I only bent my left arm and no wrist cock. I also felt my club face was probably closed at the top. I hi the ball great. It's the most compression I've ever had. I didn't move my right wrist any to cock. I must have been doing something right. No thought of legs or hips, just take it back like that and rip it. Anyway, just giving you a report. Thanks Alan Silverblatt |
