Yoda,

Your posts regarding keeping the head stationary and in the middle of the stance has worked wonders for me along with info about Flying Wedges and right forearm takeaway.

My head in relation to my feet used to form a right angle instead of an isosceles triangle. By forming the isoceles triangle, it is much easier to keep the head stationary.

When I started chipping and pitching, I felt the #3 pressure point all the way through the downswing and the #4 pressure point occuring naturally. Before I was trying to keep pressure between the left arm and left chest which only achieves in increasing tension.

With the improvement in maintaining LOC, I love the sound that occurs at contact.

Again, thanks for the info that you provide to this forum.

Great stuff, Ed.

Funny how this stuff works together. You mention your new success with the Flying Wedges (6-B-3-0-1) and Right Forearm Takeaway (2-F and 7-3).

One of the reasons people have such a hard time keeping their Head Stationary is that their Head isn't properly positioned in the first place. And even if it is, their Shoulder Turn Takeaway tends to pull it out of position. This also tends to disrupt the Wedges and delay until too late the Right Arm's assignment of taking the Club immediately Up, In and Back (On Plane) in a true Three-Dimensional Start-Up.

However, with the commitment to properly position your Head between the Feet at Impact Fix and then keep it Stationary added to your existing focus on the Flying Wedge alignments and the simple Right Forearm Start Up, suddenly there is no inclination to move the Head! Except, of course, habit (executing its ignorance) and that is easily overcome with the look, Look, LOOK approach of 3-B. The bottom line is that a good Start Up requires a properly positioned and Stationary Head and a precision Flying Wedge Assembly and a Right Forearm Pick Up. It doesn't really matter which of these you acquire first -- I'd recommend the Stationary Head! -- or last. Just as long as you ultimately get all three. Because, at least in this instance, "it takes three to tango!"

So, stay with it. And stay patient. Sometimes things take a while to gell, and then...boom, you make a big breakthrough and...just like that!...you're suddenly better for the rest of your life!
