Thanks Compda,

Building confidence in ones self is one of the most difficult things to do in golf. It really boils down to beleiving you can hit the good shot instead of fearing the bad one. All of us have had bad ones I repeat ALL OF US, But rarely do we have confidence in ourselves to produce the good one when it mattes most. It maybe a drive, long iron, a chip,pitch, bunker shot or even a 4 foot putt. Negativity rules and plagues the mind. One always produces a tentative execution of mental and physical ability. The fact lies in that ability of the mind to clarify the process of thinking positive and rationally. This is what I worked with on Meghna and all my other students - The power of the 'computer'.

The mechanical advantage that Lynn spoke to Meghna was the snap release. She worked on it with me for a couple of months, gained strength in her forearm and wrists to withold the release of the trigger to the max that she can presently handle and beleive me hits it 25 yards further on the driver, and that is a big advantage from her previous ability. Max trigger delay is a dangerous mention in the book and people may try to overdo it simply because MAX is what people will strive for in the swing, be it pwoer, distance or delay, so tread with caution fellas - you need to be supple and strong at the same time to use it effectively - Just like my friend JUSTIN. If you wanna see anyone WHIP it , watch him. He has posted a photo of him in that position on the forum and i have been fortunate enough to witness the cccrrraaaaack!!!.

Looking for back to back wins from Meghna who is playing again this week - presently at second position after round one in the Eastern India Championship. I am not with her as in the last win but I am sure she knows what to do to win.

As for JJ, he naturally drag loads and snap releases. He can really turn the screws loose when he wants to have a go- and so he did. 314yds into a 10mph headwind is quite a snap. Its not in the food Justin its in the hands - THE HANDS!!!

Cheers!!

Guys, I hope you are enjoying this as much as I am.
Another piece of information, Vikram is the National Coach of the Indian Golf Team.

Come 1st December, he will be leading his troops out in Doha for the Asian Games - the most prestigious sporting event in Asia.

As Viki has pointed out, the Snap Release is mentioned in the book just like the Bending Left Wrist is.

They are mentioned because TGM being a catalog, catalogs what can happen, what ought to happen and what should not happen.

It also prescribes warnings of side effects to the use of certain procedures.

Nonetheless, for physically disadvantaged players (small build, low hand speed etc) the short, quick arc of the Maximum Trigger Delay produces yardage equivalent to players with high hand speed (i.e Tiger Woods) utilizing the Full Sweep or Random Sweep procedures.
