Hi

As a newcomer to this (amazing) forum, I've been reading loads and loads in the last week or so. As a result, I've come across two terms for which I can't find explanations and a strong gut feeling tells me I should. I've tried searching for them but to no avail. The terms are "pop out" which I gather is a bad thing to do on the backswing and "fit in" which is a bad downswing compensation move. I know you guys must be groaning and thinking "here we go again" but I would really appreciate some info on what these moves are, their root causes and effects.

Cheers

John

PS - I've got COFF, NHA, NSA and SD videos and have watched all Brian's youtube stuff that comes up when I type his name into the youtube search facility. However, Tourdeep recently posted the "Poor Puppy" youtube video in a thread and it is SO helpful. If anybody knows of other such gems that are out there that I may not be aware of, please let me know how to get to them - like a kid in a candy store at the minute - just dying to speak to my son and his young pro friends about the ball flight laws - got my "BALONEY" all rehearsed and ready to go!

I will tell you how I understand "fit in" but it may not be correct. At impact the club is either leaning forward, standing vertical or leaning back. We would all hope it's leaning forward with irons. Anyway with a forward leaning club it becomes shorter than when standing vertical. If you flip or have throwaway the the club is more vertical at impact so if you stayed in your same posture from setup you would drive the club into the ground. Being smart you raise up to allow the club to pass without hitting it fat. This would be a "fit in" move. You have to fit the club in there at impact.I'm sure there's other fit in moves also but thats the one I can personally relate to.

Thanks guys - the hyphen brought up some stuff for pop-out. My gut feeling was right. Will have to look at SD again - have been working on COFF, hitting chips for a couple of weeks - got to get a decent set of impact hands before doing much else.

Shortgamer's description of the "fit in" move interests me because I know I have a strong flip tendency.

Thanks for the help - keep it coming please!
