It seems like I am a mix because when I hit my irons well, especially my short irons, I feel the sensation of extending my right arm and driving down and thru my aiming point. With my (well struck) tee shots, I feel like I am swinging my hands low and left through the ball which usually results in a baby fade. Historically, my misses have been left. Thanks- Welcome to the forum! Spending a day with Yoda and 3 other students, I don't think swinging and hitting was ever discussed... More importantly, work those imperatives and essentials. Study sections like Hula-Hula and wrist positions and flying wedges. Swinging and hitting are really fun to discuss, but there is a lot of meat to get through before it becomes important to your learning. It seems to me Yoda has said he and Brian Gay spent over a year together before they realized he was truly a hitter... Kevin __________________ I could be wrong.
