I forgot to mention - that was the easiest way for me to draw a ball.
I've been studying this here yellaw book and have discovered that I'm a hitter by nature.
For all you devotees, you know that this means I have certain advantages and disadvantages over a swinger. One of the advantages that is supposed to be available to a hitter is that they are reportedly able to draw the ball by simply putting it a little further back than normal in their stance and fade it by putting it a little further forward. When I first heard of this I thought it was a bunch of junk. But I tried it and dang if it don't work!!
The more I understand (not read) about this book, the more I like it!!! Now if it only had a chapter about a magic button that made me more consistent.
You can start off at Roman Numeral X.
It would simplify things so much if new comers to the book started off here.
Mr Kelly said in 1-E: "The only real short cuts are more and more know-how."
To answer your question, the fastest way to be consistent is to obtain more and more know-how.
It is only when you know what you have to do, can you practise what you need to practise so that when the time comes for you to do what you have to do, you can do what needs to be done.

I started at X. Read the suggested pattern in two days. Have reread the book several times. I have a lot of know how in my mind but like I said I'm in "incubating" stage, I have mind memory but no muscle memory yet. Kind of hard to break old habits, you know?

Yes, I get you loud and clear.
I think I started out in TGM in one of the "best" ways one could have.
I had a dislocated left shoulder from playing rugby which reduced me to just reading the book and doing drills utilising my hands only.
With no ball, most people have good swings. Put a ball in front of them, you will have transformed their swings from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde.
In 3-F-4, Mr Kelly outlined a practice procedure that is helpful when adhered to.
Indoor range - Mechanics
Outdoor range - Ball Flight
Said the Master of the indoor range..."There, the hypnotic effect of distance, line and hazard drawing attention away from the Hands and inducing a compulsion to Steer the ball, can be analyzed and procedures adopted for correction."

Works for me...
Very cool section, thanks. I've got a net outside in the yard and have worked my way up from chipping, pitching and punch shots. But when I try to put it all together for a full swing, I lose that sound of compression or either start flipping again.
Thanks for all of your replies. I made an order of the yellow book and the expolsive golf dvd last night! Just can't wait anymore.
Congratulations!! Don't let the book overwhelm you. It looks daunting at first but if you read it in the order prescribed in the preface on pg. X, it gets more and more understandable.
Just don't take it personally when you are no longer able to communicate with your golfing buddies because you are speaking a different language - flying wedges, throwawy, magic right forearm, etc.
You know to tone it down to their level when someone asks you what grip you're using and instead of saying overlap, interlock or 10 finger. You reply "strong single action." lol
Congratulations!! Don't let the book overwhelm you.
Go slow- it is not a race to get through the book and magically apply all you read.
Best bet ------> read the archives of Lynn's ground breaking posts from the old TGM forum or Chuck Evan's old forum. The archives are the best way to understand the Book of Homer.
