I'm only telling you this to motivate you, NOT A CHEAP SHOT! Originally Posted by rickyharris I do know alot about the golf swing for my age I think. And it can hurt you sometimes knowing to much, but once I learn how to use the things I know in a good way. Jim, what has it got to do with you what I want to do with my golf swing? Its my swing, my game and I need to do what i think is best! Im not searching for a magic pill ive always known that good golf comes from hard work and good fundamentals THERE IS NO SECRET I KNOW! Its just I am very much a perfectionist and I dont know if im right to do this but I want to build a swing for LIFE! I dont care if I dont win top amatuer tournaments at this moment in time, im trying to PREPARE TO BE A PRO, and the first step is building a solid re-peatable swing for life, the reason I go on these website is because I enjoy learning alot about the golf swing. Going on these websites doesent mean I am trying to swing like they say too, its because I like to learn and experiment and see what works, what doesent, what I can add into my swing, and so on. Its not like I cant PLAY GOLF well, although I do like to learn about the mechanics I ca still PLAY the game pretty well! Ive shot under par, i have won plenty of junior competitions and practice my short game for 3 hours a day 4 days a week, if I thought there was a magic pill you really think i would practice golf 5 hours a day? Anyway, im ordering the book off of amazon right now. __________________ "In my experience, if you stay with the essentials you WILL build a repeatable swing undoubtedly. If you can master the Imperatives you have a champion" (Vikram). The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts) mrodock View Public Profile Send a private message to mrodock Find all posts by mrodock
