from one of our most dedicated posters.....

I am trying to teach my mom the basics of impact. She is getting the hang of a flat left wrist, hands ahead of the ball, and forward leaning shaft, using an impact bag and a dowel. However, she always flips her wrists while hitting balls with a club. How do I teach her not to flatten her right wrist?

As a result of thousands and thousands of repetitions , I can now slightly unbend my right wrist from the top to impact. Flat left wrist at impact, but a slightly VJish type of lack of extensor action and consequent right hand coming off the grip a bit.

I demonstrated dragging the lag with a swiffer broom/brush.

As I was teaching her this stuff in the course of about 10-15 minutes, she was not too pleased with the so called teaching pro who taught her abolutely nothing in the few lessons she took from him some years ago.

the lengths that people go to - truly amazing

It's true....

Pretty much everyone can be playing better than they already are....

Too bad so much of the golf world is BS.

I have been watching the head pro at a course I work out at giving lessons, often to "the ladies," and I am appalled at the "baby sitting," "that's nice, honey," and absolute lack of A SINGLE SALIENT POINT that they can take away from their lessons. His bedside manner is so winning, they have to feel their lesson fee was well spent. But o my gosh, for absolutely nothing whatsoever.

"Go see your local PGA pro" must work! Tha's wha they dooooooo.

the point mike was making, are you talking about the cross referencing? Taking a real life application that someone already does, they know how to do, and their body does it without thinking, and relating that to a golf move

Not quite.

It was a typical Michael D Finney needle-stick.

Na I think Brian's saying that its all about the clubface. No clubface, no problemos. Clubface - big problemos.

It would appear to be a joke mocking an instructors desire to make students achieve perfect impact alignments but in a context that does not involve golf - ie. balls, clubheads, sweetspots etc. The joke is "whats the point of obsessing about lines etc. when golf is about scores and shots"....

Satire works well if it gets very close to a real subject. Yours is fictitious so the supposed satire doesn't work well...

nope, wasn't an attempt at satire.....it was an attempt to shed some light on a sick individual who only certain posters on this site may recognize....i apologize to all who read it and took it literally.....i wasted your time....but then again, how much time was wasted by the offending poster??? --- way too much, in my opinion
