I do know alot about the golf swing for my age I think. And it can hurt you sometimes knowing to much, but once I learn how to use the things I know in a good way. Jim, what has it got to do with you what I want to do with my golf swing? Its my swing, my game and I need to do what i think is best! Im not searching for a magic pill ive always known that good golf comes from hard work and good fundamentals THERE IS NO SECRET I KNOW! Its just I am very much a perfectionist and I dont know if im right to do this but I want to build a swing for LIFE! I dont care if I dont win top amatuer tournaments at this moment in time, im trying to PREPARE TO BE A PRO, and the first step is building a solid re-peatable swing for life, the reason I go on these website is because I enjoy learning alot about the golf swing. Going on these websites doesent mean I am trying to swing like they say too, its because I like to learn and experiment and see what works, what doesent, what I can add into my swing, and so on.
Its not like I cant PLAY GOLF well, although I do like to learn about the mechanics I ca still PLAY the game pretty well! Ive shot under par, i have won plenty of junior competitions and practice my short game for 3 hours a day 4 days a week, if I thought there was a magic pill you really think i would practice golf 5 hours a day?
Anyway, im ordering the book off of amazon right now.

Ricky,
No offense, but with working 40 hours a week I have spent twice that amount of time on the short game, and the kids that are going to be pros someday probably are too! I'm only telling you this to motivate you, NOT A CHEAP SHOT!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
