Slow motion drills and/or held positions while performing visual checks (look , look , look) to confirm the proper alignments being a superior form of training compared to merely hitting a million practice balls. They both work but one is faster and you can do it indoors. Sort of like Tai Chi for G.O.L.F 'rs not that I know anything about Tai Chi. I also have a feeling Lynns personal version of the RFT has a dash of Bertholy's "rod and claw" to it. Maybe, well amongst other influences ...... Billy Casper , Robert G MacDonald, Wild Bill Melhorne, Nelson and Hogan etc etc. Lynn Ive been admiring your takeaway for three years now and I think Ive "cracked its code" . As you did Billy Caspers. It smacked me right between the ears er eyes yesterday. Its revolutionized not only my backswing but rippled through my entire swing, the plane of my left wrist cock, my Finish position , my release .......Look ma I'm free wheel'n. With no rubber wristed "slop" either. Getting off topic sorry. From Start Up to Finish, every Golf Stroke encompasses Three Zones. Zone 1 / Body: Body Control . . . Pivot. Balance. Zone 2 / Arms: Club Control . . . Power. Force. Zone 3 / Hands: Ball Control . . . Purpose. Direction. In Start Up, Clubhead Lag is established by the Body Pivot and transmitted to the Arms. Educated Hands distinctly sense this delayed Clubhead movement as Drag and keep its movement On Plane. As I say on my Pit Bull video . . . "Lag back, and lag through. Lag, boy . . . lag!" __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
