I'm thinking the Taser comes first, then the lag! Of course, assuming a competent instructor. Are you worried now that this is out that your lesson schedule might slow down?
P.S. Nice final round in the tournament! Looked like just two holes and probably one swing on each hole prevented you from going real low!

Reminds me of that time you went to the big house for exposing yourself at that 96 year-old lady's birthday party . . . you were getting those cops to hit you with the taser because it made you "tingle" . . . but it got real ugly when you had to spend the night . . . "Oh darn I seemed to have dropped the soap again."

Hmmm... was that an eye witness account?

Looks like you weakened the left hand a touch-but it is difficult to be sure from the pictures .
Weight more on heels?
Narrower stance.
The hands are lower at the top ,probably tracing a better plane line -more back rather than behind.
Come on Ted tell us

I hadn't played in two weeks, so it took me a couple of days to get back to solid contact. I shot 71 in the Pro-Am on Sunday, but putting was the only reason. I only hit six greens in regulation and had 24 putts. My highlight was dunking an eagle from 117 on a 607 yard par five. I hit the ball poorly on Monday of the Griffin and shot 78 with some doubles. But, I shot 70 on Tuesday with a 33 on the back. I did the same thing on the last day at the Atlanta Open, with a 33 on the back.
In my last five tournament rounds, I've had three rounds under par. 77, 71, 71, 78, & 70. So, I'm very happy considering my work load. I'd have to stop teaching as much in order to play any better.

I knew you guys were smart, but I didn't think anyone would see it from the previous view. Here's the change and the logic:
7-17: Foot Loading - enabled him to get the FLW at Impact.
In his backstroke, he was getting closer to the ball. He had been told to do thousands of chips/pitches with the FLW, which doesn't hurt anyone. But, he never had the ability to keep it in a longer stroke.
His weight was so much on hos toes that it changed the geometry. Getting closer to the ball discouraged Extensor Action. And, with the loss in structure, his wrist couldn't stay flat.
The cirlce was where his head started.
So, he would get closer to the ball, never really clearing the hip. The right elbow was inevitably on a collision course with the right kidney. Then the arm would take the detour, go around, and pull inward. The left arm became slightly bent, and the left wrist bent.
He felt like he was 10 miles from the ball at Impact, just to get the result that we did.

Sometimes the taser doesn't work...

Yeah I was at the throw down for that 96 yearold chick too. I was hittin' on her baby sister Edna. We were dancin' to some Tone Loc and I broke it down with the alligator bob. Her baby-daddy, Gilbert, hit me with a walker. Before I knew it was catchin' a beatin' from all kinds of durable medical equipment. The cops came and locked me and Mike up . . .
