Hit off of grass OK?
Your # 3 PP cannot stray too far from your back elbow.
Think about it.
Watch Lynn's videos (all of them, tonight, while drinking beer or your choice of a meditative, highly reflective substance. Watch everyone's elbow! If your married, watch your wife's elbow!
If you are single take a club into a bar/pub and find a hot girl. Tell her you need her to help understand your golf swing. You are capable of handling this I trust! Whether she helps you or not, loudly proclaim your need a a female golfer's elbow!
Make a list of all the girls you meet and, if they are cute, PM me!!!!
Ok, I get a little carried away, sometimes. It's part of my charm.
Seriously though, watch Lynn! He's very good at this stuff,
If you are a swinger, you must Hula/shift your hip at the downswing. YOUR BACK ELBOW WILL FIRE your vertically uncocking wrist DOWN and you will crush the ball through the ground.
As a hitter, start with the Hula shift. Use a little Extensor action and pull your left arm with right forearm takeaway to shoulder lever. FEEL THE LAG! LOVE THE LAG! ALLOW THE LAG PRESSURE TO SNUGGLE (A TECHNICAL TERM) INTO # 3 PP. AND WHILE YOU ARE FEELING THE LAG SETTLE INTO YOUR TRIGGER, DRIVE YOUR RIGHT ELBOW AND FOREARM STRAi GHT INTO YOUR BALL! The more ball you hit, the less you'll feel the impact!
Get the lady you met at the bar to tell you what she thinks of your shot! Have her put a few tees into the ground, WORK IT!
Let us know how you, uhmmm, "made-out!" I love Win mcMurray. Did I mention that!

i would be grateful if anyone had time to comment on the likey usefulness or otherwise of this focus and/or suggest a different one
TIA

Thanks fella, i'll give this full attention later. With a quick swing here in the living room i think there is good improvement possible with some of the work on the hips that you suggest. I'm playing in an hour, so will see what occurs.

Playing in an hour? With the present 8-12" of partly cloudy collecting on the ground here in Minnesota I think our next round will be April.
Off to the dungeon for Basic Motion.

I've got a bunch of work to do, i realise i don't know what my hips should be doing for a start - i'll ask when i've worked out a bit more.
i think i've been basically a swinger but i was hitting today & i'm excited by what happened (2 weeks after making a start on TGM) i hit more well struck shots today than i ever have in a round of golf. The two good players i played with both commented on the improved ball striking & extension through the ball.
bring it on !
i get your point about the elbow - i'll experiment tomorrow - yep, sorry Jerry i get to play tomorrow too

This is so true. There have been shots where I thought for sure I'd simply chunked it. Just felt like a divot with no "hit". However, the rifle shot sound and ball flight told me it was the compression that I was seeking.
