I'll do that Bucket...so many swing theories out there it makes your head spin.

I've dabbled in them all, but until I quit flipping, scooping, and coming over the top I'll just keep spinning my wheels. Thx man....

Neil,

I haven't got the book, mainly because of the stories of engineer's that couldnt even read it. But I think since I can bounce stuff off you guys I will go ahead and pick up a copy.

Coltsfan,

You cannot go wrong with the great references you have already been given. A huge piece of the puzzle for me like the Bucketmeister said was/is conceptual. What steepened my learning curve was understanding how the HANDS work. Once you understand the vertical v. horizontal relationship then you got an understanding of them winged wedges! Watch Yoda's Dowels and Wedges (the best 4 minute lesson I have ever had!) and be sure that you WILL NOT read that in Golf Digest next month! The added bonus will be that you will learn how to spear fish as well! I have watched that 50 times...conservatively. Tom Tomasello's series (Episode 3) will help in that regard. The hands work together as you have no doubt heard, but they have seperate and distinct tasks. Work on that strong single action grip! Learn all 24 components...then identify, or choose anew! The guided struggle beats the snot out of the blind struggle! Good luck.

Okie,

Thanks man I will do that. The blind struggle is killing me. I have about 25 golf books and I just need to shelve those, buy the Yellow book, and study the stuff you guys have directed me too.

Its gonna be a long cold winter in Indy so I have time to work on the basics in my garage hitting into a net. I noticed that last night that I made better contact doing the basic motion with relaxed or soft wrists versus stiff wrists. Should the wrist be somewhat soft at impact vs tight or stiff?

RWH-thanks man, I will access the info that way....
