( on the plus side, two local farmers have offered me lucrative terms to plough up their fields ...) ... this is a fantastic website ... and I bought the little yellow book ... could not make head nor tail of it ... read a thousand posts or so ... and eventually downloaded the videos to try and make progress ... ... it seems to me that Yoda, Tomasello, Doyle and Dietrich are all saying different things -- about the same thing ... ... the left hand ... Tomasello tells you it only moves one way - put your hand out in front of you vertically and turn it down facing the ground ... end of story ... Yoda says it is only used in a hammering-like motion ... ... Dietrich says you use a hammer-like motion with the right hand on the downswing ... others say you only fan the right hand backwards and forwards ... ... I cannot get the sound properly on Ben Doyle's videos, but I think he says to hit those little chips and punches with your hips - and he seems to be moving his knees -- others say the bottom of body is still and the hands do the work ... ... in the last minute of Tomasello's Hands video ... it looks to me like he is turning over his hands completely to the right on the takeaway -- if I did this the clubface would feel completely open and be facing the sky by the time I had it back to waist level ... .. Hogan said you start the downswing with your left hip ... He is my hero and I believe him ... but I like the guys here too - even though they are saying different things ... ... I am trying to become a Golfing Machine - but am turning into a pathetic, demented, broken-down, non-recylcable widget ... ... today I stood over a ball for forty seconds ... with my mind in such a mess that I could not even figure out if I had a club in my hand -- let alone what I should be doing with it ... very sad ... ... thanks be to God I am a already a semi-alcoholic ... or this could drive me to drink ... __________________ Maverick Irish eyes are smiling Irish Maverick View Public Profile Send a private message to Irish Maverick Find all posts by Irish Maverick
