Hi,

I am new to this site and pretty new to the golfing machine but after watching all of lynn blakes videos on the gallery I now know the basics! I am 16 and now a 5 handicap (played the game for 3 years and 2 months)I would like to use this site and the videos to help me on my way to the European Tour which is what I want to do.

So, Set-up: I learned the way to set-up by putting the right big toe inline with the ball, moving the left foot into the correct position (1 inch infront of the right foot) and all that!

After watchign Brian Gay and John Reiger on the gallery I have learned the right wrist bent at address and the left wrist flat with hands further ahead of the ball than what I have done in the past!

I know the basics of Horizontal hingeing, angled hingeing and vertical hingeing! One of my questions is, the reason you have to learn these different hingeing actions is because?? (is it just to train the correct impact positions, or to help you hit different types of shots? or am i totally wrong? hehe).

2nd question is: Do I need the Golfing Machine book? Or can i learn everything I need to learn on this website and watching Brian Gay and John Reiger swing on there videos on the range.

3rd question: Can you explain to me what straight plane line is? I see John Reiger practices with a work station on the range, is it basically swinging back along a straight line and keeping the sweetspot faceing the ball untill you get into the aquired motion position? (right forearm level to ground).

The one thing I dont want is to know TOO MUCH about the golfing machine, in other words I dont want my head to be fulled up with things I dont really need to know about! (this summer that buggerd me up, one of the reasons I didnt play know where near my expectations).

Hope you can answer my questions.

Thanks,
Ricky
