[O.B.Left]

I signed up, always willing to listen to Lynn Blake's teaching.

Mr Blake is something special isnt he?

Having had a few chipping lessons from the man himself..... there is a criticaly important but easy to overlook thing that shows up in this photo of Brian Gay.

Take a look at how he gets his weight left..........there is a slight lean of the head and upper body to the left. Now everybody in golf knows you're supposed to put your weight on your left side when you're chipping, but Mr Blake had to pound this lean of the noggin into my noggin. Even though I thought I had chipping figured out about 40 years ago. It makes the Angle of Attack steeper, the contact better, the results more consistent. It feels to me almost extreme, but it doesnt look so in pictures and it really works. Its very much like standing on one leg in feel and in real. In fact that is a great way to get into this position raise you right leg off the ground then put it back down without changing your heads position.

So here, you could say, is an example of a Machine Adjustment at Address where the Head is not centered between the feet.

I mention this because even though you guys might read Lynn's words and think you're far enough left, theres a good chance you arent. I sure wasnt. Sort of like a pool player raising the butt end of his cue to get at a cue ball stuck up against the rail.

And yes I suck at drawing lines with my computer.
