Martin Hall is showing TGM on his "Golfing Library" section. Now, if they'd only acknowledge LBG as the best machine hang-out!

I now find myself, Lynn, prowling around Lowe's and Home Depot for various color dowels to decorate my "Golf Room" (it would be a "Living Room" except it is filled with a basket of white laundry, a basket of colors, Impact bag, two full-length Ikea mirrors, putting track, and all my golf clubs). When I get the dowels, I will create a tracing station. For now, I have blue painters tape on the 4" wooden slats. Is that so wrong?

Hi Everyone. Lynn was very patient with me in assembling my much needed Alignments at Standard Address. I'm curious as to what other LBG practitioners do to come to Standard Address.
For example, if I start with my right forearm on plane at Mid-Body, then assemble the correct grip and left forearm above the right, does that make sense? I'm guessing it is all personal preference.
I realize now that my Arms have to swing freely in a more up direction and Shoulders should be almost parallel to the Base Line of the Plane for a longer period.

My experience was to walk into the ball from behind holding the club in the right hand/ with the right forearm as part of the preshot routine and aim the club were you want to aim (in my case some 20 degrees to the right of the goal and set up with a closed stance). Then I would grip the club with my left hand outside (to the left of) my left leg, thus giving me a stronger grip and then go back to adjusted address with this grip and stance. From there I could drag the club back with my right forearm (and pivot) with a start up swivel and the RW getting bent on the way up. But this may only be suited to my situation where I normally came OTT outside-in in my downstroke - to get rid of all the slicing/pulling that was going on ...

I tried this by holding the club in the right hand putting the right forearm on plane and then taking the correct "drink water" Ben Hogan grip. I clobbered the ball with it witha very consistent draw.
I found this very useful thread that I want to work through.

Lynn's lessons included a thorough exam of my grip and a detailed explanation of what IMpact Fix is and is not. I had it so wrong! Lynn made it so right!
So, I start out with a BEn Hogan correct grip, Mid-Body Hands, and a Standard Address. Hula slightly left and my Pressure Points 1-3 are all aligned Aft of the shaft. RFT/EA feels to Trace the straight Target Line and left ankle lifts slightly. Pivot and Right Arm Sweep down at the same time!
What caused me to get away from my Swing was a swollen left ankle. I stumbled on it the first two holes but was too stubborn to go home. Two aspirin and I tried to minimize my movement.
My first two holes were a stumbling 7 and 6 on two par fours, and a third 6 on our number 1 hcp hole but it was a good hole. You see I crushed my drive 30 yards further than ever before and I hit the best 3 wood of my life which easily carried water left and right (that I used to splash into) and plugged into deep rough pin high. I bent my shaft almost in half!
I have been watching Lynn's Hitting and Ted's Hitting videos for reminders. My new correct grip and proper Alignments have made golf so much more fun. I noticed Lynn and Ted's higher sort of "Whirly bird" finish instead of the different "Arrow through the Ear." And I realized I was doing their finish, sort of! I was so happy!
My front 9 par 36 was a 46, and my back 9 par 35 was a 41. I clobbered a few chips and smacked a couple trees pretending to be Godzilla! What was so cool was how early in the year I have made my first 41. And guess who is no longer the short hitter in the group? My club champion with his new R-9 Taylor Made was still about 30 yards longer but I was as long or longer than my other playing partners who had been usually 30 yards longer than me.
The control with the Hitting technique is amazing and I felt myself fly up in the air several times as I swept down. I have never Hit down so completely in my life!
I even putted a few chips within 3 feet of the hole on the back nine! Oh, and I made one Sandy.
Thanks Lynn and LBG crew!
