I certainly hope so!!!! At this stage my handicap is dropping fast--I shot 78 again yesterday-- That previous score was posted by a buddy-- and I am not going to change it! This is bad enough, I am already down to 9 with trend lower... gonna be hard for me to win any beer! But I am having fun hitting it straight, hitting ALL the fairways and most of the greens. If I could putt I would be shooting scratch! Regarding "secrets," I suspect this latest, the target in front of the ball, is simple an evolution of my learning experience-- over 5+ years. One thing builds on the previous accomplishments. Likely my swing today is a culmination of everything past-- and especially of my effort over the last few weeks to teach myself to swing slowly enough to consistently create the divot that makes the ball go straight. CONSISTENTLY. My ONLY swing thought on the course lately has been to create divots with irons or 3w and to create a particular clubhead path with driver. Let the ball go where it will-- I am just an engineer swinging a golf club. Works for me. Today, however, I played a hard singles tennis match-- it was fun to endeavor to make my tennis racket continue through the ball on the desired ball flight path-- sound familiar? The two sports are very very related. Jack Nicklaus was smart to play tennis during his championship golfing years. Larry

Slow down and the arms come through >and you hook. Speed has nothing to do with hooking or slicing. How can the pros hit their irons varying distances with accuracy if according to your theory varying downswing speed will produce hooks and slices? Something tells me if you vary your downswing speed this is the results you get and therefore assume it's a universal truth. David Laville, G.S.E.M. The Golfing Machine Authorized Instructor TB-8982

This is one problem I have. Almost everyone I know in the golf world uses "plane" to describe the flat tilted surface the clubhead swings on. Hardy comes along and uses "plane" in a completely different context that suits his needs. David Laville, G.S.E.M. The Golfing Machine Authorized Instructor TB-8982 |
