Hi Delaware! I have been fully sweeping for a couple weeks, now!
Thanks for your post and what you said about power and accuracy is true. Sometimes, I roll the shoulder to sweep and sometimes I use the right forearm.
As long as my tripod is solid, so is the shot! If I move my head to peek, then I'm doomed. I find that a light FLW helps, too, and a slower than average motion.
Are there dangers to this move? I feel so relaxed while doing it that it reminds me of simply dropping the club straight into the ball. Where do you play your drives in your stance? My left leg is short by 1.5" so mine is a blade back of left heel.
I was interested in this method many years ago when I read Bobby Jones mention a Leo Diegel and Josh Swisher who used a "shut faced" method that allowed them to snipe at holes from great distances and kick his butt.
Of course, we know Jones, not those guys. Are you in Delaware?
Thanks.

I have generated all kinds of great shots with this procedure....pinpoint accurate sandwedges to 300 yard drives with spectacular boring trajectory. Just read the Tomasello interview in GI
GI: What happens to the shots of a player who executes these moves?
Tomasello: The player will immediately hit the ball higher and straighter, and substantially longer. The flight pattern will be dead straight to its apex, with the ball falling a touch left or drawing fractionally as it decends.
