Today had an excellent ballstriking day....due to your advice mixed with some other stuff heard from Brian...and tried a tip from hue also :)

Guys - Girls - Bend the right elbow and Align the forearm with your plane NOW ! ! ! !

I immediately felt my alignments in the right arm working better... - the right wrist bend just slides up the plane and bang it works... started hitting it pretty good :)

Then I went onto working on this head position yoda talked about - I couldn't get it into my head (bad pun I know)... then I worked more on my lower body action to really clear the right hip - and this is something been working on for a little while but can find its can be a lil tricky to do... well not anymore - Something clicked and I remembered Brians pivot artical on the movement of somewhat straightening the right leg - wow again - Im now stable.... At which point im hitting my mid to short irons like a pro...

Tried the woods - Bang ! - most went higher and more boring into the sky...(well forget the shot with the big hook I hit off and landed 45 degrees left of target...opps ... oh well instant amnesia - what hook ?)

I started to have fun when these movements were becoming familiar so I thought - as long as I trace the plane line with pp3 I can stress the club with float loading the club which was an idea put forth by Hue.... I had to say all that accumulation at the top of the swing was scary but bang ! - I think rather than a full sweep, a float loading action can you get more power into the ball....

Will put up film soon ;)

glad to hear it Mathew, looking foward to some pics, with that tempo of yours you'll be hitting every green in reg ;)
 
Good work Mathew,

I do believe Homer thought float loading was more difficult to execute. For a swinger, why not try drag loading?

Mathew: All I get is the Quicktime Logo in a square in the middle of the screen. Could you post the pics frame by frame as you did before. I have got Quicktime but may be missing something and am not to good at fiddling with computers. So any help in in getting it working would be appreciated. Can anyone else see Mathew's swing? Thanks.

Looks and sounds very nice Mathew!

At some point you may wish to reduce the tension in your hands. "do" less with them during the swing, adjusting your setup and alignments a touch stronger. You 'set the wedges' and it is very easy to see that you keep them aligned well.

Wonderful tempo. Wonderful balance.

Sizzle.
