In a word...
Balance.
Per 1-L:
"In every athletic activity, success seems to be unquestionably proportional to the player's sense of balance and force --whether innate or acquired. Off-balance force is notoriously erratic. The mechanical device has no balance problem but the human machine does, and mastery of the Pivot (Zone #1) is so essential for good Golf."
The
Mechanical Checklist For All Strokes (12-3) contains 45 mission-critical alignments for Golfing success. Not surprisingly, the list begins -- and ends -- with Balance.
