Thanks Kevin, forgot about the level left wrist at address. I use adjusted address, and it is really easy to set up with the left wrist out of position. What a difference a level left wrist at address, whether impact or adjusted, it makes maintaining the alignments incredibly easier.
Impact fix with level wrists and the flying wedges are a huge shortcut to G.O.L.F.

Edz, as a swinger it is so easy to set up with the left wrist pre-cocked. Immediately there is a significant benefit when the left wrist is set in a level position, makes the flying wedges and forward lean not only easier, but makes it feel like second nature.
Please pardon my ignorance, but may I ask what does a "level left wrist" mean? I have seen this term quite a few times but I am not sure what it means exactly.
I realize this may not be a simple answer so if anyone has anywhere you could point me, I would be much obliged.
Thank you

Mid way position between cocked and uncocked.
Hold your left arm out in front of you, parallel to the ground palm of the hand open, fingers pointing straight out.
Look along your forearm and visualise the straight line relationship between it and the top of your thumb.
Point your fingers down and uncock. Raise your fingers and cock.
I just wanted to say thanks again and you have me really busy right now! I played 9 holes before work this morning. I hit the ball pretty well as I tried incorporating a few small things into that I have recently discovered. My main fascination right now is Yoda's hit pattern. I printed out the #6.pdf file from your page and I am consuming it. That is where I would like to get to at some point. I know I am setting my sights pretty high, but why not shoot for the moon? lol
It just seems so simple and sfficent yet so powerful. That is my grail, I hope I can get there someday.
Anyway, thank you again.
Scott,
Yoda's pattern is my holy grail as well. It's what my minds eye sees as the simplest most effective way to play golf. Let's learn from each other, you know where to find me with questions or answers!
Kevin

Thanks Kev, much appreciated and I am sure in the coming weeks and months I will come to rely heavily on you and the graciousness of others here. I am patiently waiting for my "Alignment Golf" DVD and can not wait to delve into it. I really like what I am learning so far. I have been down many paths, read quite a few books, and watched countless hours of video and I feel that this is the way to go for me.

I didn't realize your DVD hasn't arrived yet. It will open a whole new world of understanding. All the posts you read here will all of a sudden start making sense, no more mystery. It's like a giant key that opens the door to understanding Homer Kelley. As an added benefit, visualizing V.J. Trolios basic and acquired motion will smooth out your short game...
The first video "looks" like it's all short game, it's not. The same concepts will be used in your long game.
The second video is called "drills." It's not just drills, pay close attention and there is all the information you can imagine about total motion. You just put the pieces into your puzzle...

No DVD yet, I just checked the mail hoping it would be today but no, not yet.
What you describe sounds terrific. I am hoping that many of the pieces I am learning start to come together more comprehensively and from what you describe, I think it will.
I just have to say that my early assessments of TGM is PURE GENIUS. I just watched the video "pressure point 3, where are you?" for the 6th or 7th time and I finally got it! Yoda has a very rapid delivery and he uses some of the technical jargon that I don't fully understand yet, but wow does he make sense. Like I said, I had to watch it over and over and it something clicked and I understood what he was saying about a hitter keeping everything behind the shaft. The swinger explanation took a little longer but I got what he meant when he said the #3 pressure point goes to the top of the shaft at the completion of the backstroke. Absolute genius. Then how the pressure point varies from the hitters feel due to being on top of the shaft and feeling the #2 in the left hand.
I believe that I am more inclined to be a hitter but I certainly don't want to make that decision until I can get further educated on all of this.
Man, if this is a preview of what is to come for me, I am more excited than ever. it is going to be a long weekend as I wait to get to work Monday in hoping that my "Alignment Golf" DVD shows up in the mail there.
