Toolish,

I am sure you know how to practise. What I suspect is that you have as little as one quarter of one degree of steering that causes a small amount of quitting that you not aware of.

That is enough to throw you off the scent.

With zero steering - rhythm returns. When you know your true rhythm you know everything

You hit a bullseye on this one...Dart! Is this why clubface control (hinge action) seems to be the toughest imperative to understand and implement? I feel sick to my stomach when I know I have steered the ball, even if it is a mini-steer. I have been mistaken for a sullen brat at times when I hit a short iron to 10 feet and turn away in disgust. My hands tell me I was not fully committed to it! Tracing has helped a great deal, but at the end of the day club face control is a seperate identity. Interestingly the brilliance of basic motion resurfaces in that it is the only way I know how to work on hinge action with any meaningful feedback. I have to say that I have a new appreciation for an on plane...driven...rotating sweetspot! Does The Dart have any suggestions on how to curb the human tendency of being a chicken !T! No offense Bucket!
