Set your Head directly between your feet. Without moving your Head at Address, slide your Hips to the left to create a little Axis Tilt. This will automatically lower your Right Shoulder and allow you to have more bend in your Right Arm, thus allowing you to establish your Right Forearm Flying Wedge. Don't do it artifically by just moving you head to the right. Right now you have too much spine lean to the left at Address.
Use a mirror or video to verify the alignments. Any time you make a change in you Geometry or Physics, expect a "different" sensation. If it doesn't feel "different", you haven't made a change. Want a "different" ball flight, then you better be doing something "different". Otherwise, we go back to the clinical definition of insanity...doing the same thing over and over, but expecting "different" results.

The depth of knowledge on this board by the followers of YODA never ceases to amaze me. I learn something EVERY day.
Thanks Drew,

Stick with it ml249, this alone will be greatly beneficial to your game.
It may feel awkward at first but the adjustments you need to make to get there at address are also the adjustments you would need to do to get there at impact! If it feels so weird for you at address it implies to me that your body wont want to get there dynamically at impact, as it must.
In my first lesson with Lynn we spent a long portion of the morning working on just this. In fact it wasnt until after lunch that I finally had it right and Lynn remarked something like "well there you go, that took longer than usual but this alone will help you to achieve your goals in golf". (I wanted to shave a few strokes off my cap and move into the plus side of things). Im proud to say that Yoda was correct, as usual. In fact yesterday after a few days off and no time to warm up or practice, I shot a 66 at Story Creek on Vancouver Island. A majestic course cut through an old growth spruce forest with towering trees, deer everywhere and one gleaming, LBG member and G.O.L.F practitioner.

P.S. My thought for the day? The left hand must be LEVEL at Fix (as it will be at impact as it moves from cocked to fully uncocked)

O.B.,
Ya have to add up all the Strokes, not just the Putts!

Congrats.............
Thanks D.
You have me there, I did add up the putts. 10 on the front nine. Scoring is easy when the darn ball goes in the hole all the time. I was picking one out of the hole, dropped it, it hit my foot and ran back into the hole. Weird.
