Here's a new student of mine that's only taken one lesson. In the 45 minute lesson, this is what changed. There are other things in these photos that I'd like to change, but the before and after pictures are very different. After he hit the second shot he said, "did you hear that?" I told him it was the sound of compression. When you can see a difference in the trajectory at 10 inches past the ball, imagine what it looked like at 100 yards.

I've heard the expression "The Sound of Compression". I've not made that sound and I'm not sure how to do it. But from these two photos there is a difference. What do I do to get there?

What did you have him do to get into that position.
I started with the right forearm alignment, which is not shown here. But, from down the line it was a borderline atrocity. It was higher than the left, as the left arm was visible under the right at address and completely out of line with the shaft. I showed him impact fix and had him hold the fix position as a rehearsal. We discussed the pressure points at length, and focused mainly on the #1 pressure point. I used an old trick of mine that usually works wonders. I put a penny in his #1 pressure point and told him that if he dropped the penny, I was going to shoot him in the head. I know that sounds a little drastic, but I thought it would focus his attention. Apparently, it did.
To be honest, the hip slide came as a result of us doing rehearsals at impact fix. The location of his hands led him into a little too much slide. After he heard the sound, I wasn't about to change the slide. He was giggling like a kid.
