One last question then, is there a reliable method of getting your distance from the ball correct so that you can swing down and out ? thanks Make a fist...then extend your thumb and pinky finger. That's how much room you should have between the butt end of the club and your belly button. You can adjust it SLIGHTLY, but it will be pretty close. __________________ I'm not a TGM or PGA certified Pro, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night jim_0068 View Public Profile Send a private message to jim_0068 Find all posts by jim_0068
