Let your Computer soak up these alignments. I do all my Impact Bag work in front of a mirror and take in that view as well. I love looking at these alignments! And it helps a lot. The idea is to ingrain them so deeply into your subconscious that they become as natural as breathing. Good stuff Yoda. As natural as breathing....yes.

What did Homer say???...."I don't care if you look like a circus clown on the backswing!" ....?.....something like that. Great post anyway Lynn. A great reminder of what is TRULY the most important part of the backswing. "The moment of truth".......after all, the ball only knows the club. Truly. Now....the backswing can make it easier to reach a great impact position, but that's a different story. I don't have an impact bag, but I feel the same way about hitting divots (in my neighbour's yard, of course). Anyway....good stuff green one.
