EC I just want to remark what a great check list Eddie posted here. Monitor extensor action. - This has been my number one priority. The stretching of the left arm by the bending the right elbow - to the driving of the right arm through impact with wedges intact is the stuff of champions. Focus on the "DOWNWARD" dimension of the downstroke. “Down Down Down.” Far too many people forget that the ball lies on the ground. The clubhead and #3pp should be driven Downward with extreme prejudiced. Make sure that all accumulators achieve FULL extension past impact. Anything else will introduce you to the four snares. Make sure that the RHYTHM matches the intended hinge action. This is the one that got my attention. Machiners know exactly what is said here but not to the average golf student reading the golf magazines or watching the Golf Channel. Many moan and groan about Homer’s jargon but it is this terminology that binds us collectively as one and simplifies Homer's lessons and procedures. Outside golf tips with its ambiguity terminology is as clear as Tourettes. So, let your left hand know what the hinge action is and follow Eddies other points and you won't go bad. 6bmike View Public Profile Send a private message to 6bmike Find all posts by 6bmike
