finding your first wobble point

[Yoda]

John,

Have you done this drill before working with LB?

John has been for many years the student of Rob Noel, GSEM, a.k.a. Hunter on this site. We've never worked on this drill together (or anything else for that matter). Through Rob, we have become friends -- -- and he told me tonight he got this 'first wobble' idea from watching Ben Hogan go through his 'slo-mo' swings on the Coleman Estate Video (see The Gallery).

Thanks, John, for this great idea. Harvey Pennick was a big fan of slow motion swings, as was another mentor of mine, Paul Bertholy. Not to mention, of course...

Homer Kelley.

Was watching the Colin Neeman (Name ?? ) video last night and saw Yoda teach the start up with a massive pause (10 seconds), in position to allow the computer to compute...seems like a great idea, especially with slo-mo swings.

After all if we can't do it slow what chance do we have when going at 100mph+!!

i am getting ready to put it too a real test i am playing 15 of the next 18 weeks.

John,

That is a very ambitious schedule. Beside posting here, what do you do to pace yourself so you remain sharp both physically and mentally.

[john riegger]

i pace myself by putting in all the hard work while i am at home.both on my body and on the range.i was out for almost 2 years due to 2 surgeries so i have had to get my body back in playing shape.mentally i have been ready it just takes time to get back into tournament shape.the scoring has been slow going but i have been very patient,because i am very mechanically sound with my swing.i just need to play and play alot so it breaks through.that was a tentative schedule and could change at any time.i promise you that i will not play myself to tired to play my best.right now i am going to focus on just playing golf and due periodic alignment checkups.thanks for your questions
