I love Homer's recommendation in 12-3-0, Section 2 - Impact Fix. When you prepare #3. Grip-Flying Wedges, #6. Right Forearm Position, #7. Clubshaft Alignments, and #8. Extensor Action, you're establishing the radius and verifying your distance from the ball.

Study 7-17, and understand that "conventional teaching" says to keep the weight on the balls of your feet. I think teachers take this great advice from other sports (where the ball is moving) and apply it to golf (where the ball is not moving). Weight on the balls of the feet or on the toes places the body in a position of imbalance in preparation for walking or running. I believe that the sport with a moving ball needs a machine that's able to move and the sport with a stationary ball needs a stationary and balanced machine.

Because they compensate for each other, you must fix both. Wiggle your toes at Address, and then work on Extensor Action. See how far you can get away from the ball at Impact Fix, not at Adjusted Address.

Thanks Luke, will do.

Ill balance the machine and space it properly from fulcrum to ball when at fix, not adjusted. Sounds so logical and yet you'd never get this level of insight anywhere else.

Never thought about compensations and cause and effect relationships from a down the line, radius/fulcrum point of view. Very interesting.

One more question if I may. Given that the mass of the arms/club moves from in front of us to behind us and then in front of us again etc. In the ideal does the center of balance move around or stay put? If it doesnt move is there a compensating counter balancing of some sort?
