swing left, and look like this

[YodasLuke]

Yoda,

Love this post!
#3 is very over looked when people say go left. Not to take away from the total view of what may work for a low handicap player who may get the low point ( I would hope)
I have seen a few of the guys from this camp of thought. But they always have sand on the SW from the left bunker.

Thank you.

If I'm reading your name correctly, even cp'ers use straight lines to varying degrees (not circles). The basis of those lines is still the geometric plane, which makes the other acronym perfectly acceptable in my book.

I took these three photos on the Practice Tee at the PODS Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida, two weeks ago. They illustrate V.J. Singh's new 'avoidance behavior' setup.

I'll put up a post on this subject tomorrow or Tuesday. Meanswhile, consider them food for thought. Check the divot direction in Photo #2 and V.J.'s reaction to the results in #3.

Hint: He was hitting big cuts. Slices even.

3 in the morning Lynn- you forgot something. Besides sleep.

Thanks, Mike. I couldn't get the photos to load earlier because of very low signal strength on my wireless network. All fixed now.

give a man a camera and he will tell you stories. Another great job reporting, Lynn. I love VJ's 90 dollar red plastic dowel.

So what is the next step in helping this guy on?

We met for the second time, today. And, although the results are a little exaggerated, I was happy to see that he could change Impact. These things are possible for him in Basic or Acquired Motions. But, Total Motion may take a little longer.

Roll on the line...

A total of 15 minutes vs. 15 years of golf frustration.

Nice job Ted! You are way too kind.

By the way, shouldn't you be in the hospital with your newborn?

She was showing signs of an early labor all the way back at the Falcon's Fire school. But, since she stopped working, the contractions stopped. The due date is April 28th. So, I'm answering every call from her, when I'm teaching.

Looking good. Great work.
Hope the wee one comes along soon, then you can start teaching both your kids the joys of hitting

His clubface obviously has not been fixed yet.

If someone told him to "swing left" before fixing anything else....well.......

[EDIT]

...well.......then that's just plain bad advice. (for THIS guy)

And I really can't see it coming directly, and as a direct recommendation for this specific player, from anyone with any kind of experience or even anyone with any common sense. You just don't tell a slicer that he needs to swing left. That is what he's doing too much of already, and this advice does not come anywhere NEAR to addressing HIS first wobbly point. (i.e. the root cause of his problems)

The man has no problem swinging left I'll tell you that.........his clubface is WIDE OPEN. (ROOT CAUSE) And he also almost certainly has a reverse pivot too.

That is the major problem with learning from the forums, or golf mags, or videos...it might be a great idea, but not for YOU at this time. Nicely pointed out birdie.
