Since that "Pressure point #3" video alot of major major concepts have hatched from my incubator. That incubator has been working overtime lately. My swing is all I can think about during the day, and I am even getting golf dreams and waking up in the middle of the night with a random line in my head like: "extensor action provides an indespensible control to all strokes."

Anyways, I spent some time hitting because it was working and the angled hinging was pretty simple. Lately I have been finding my swing, actually swinging has been just presenting itself to me...so I take it. The one thing that helped my hitting stroke was the Tommy T video about hitting vs swinging. While demonstrating the hitting procedure he says something like 'the clubface just keeps looking at the ball.' I found this to produce nice angled hinging which worked well with the right arm driving the club. This hitting gave me a good feel for my right forearm flying wedge. I really focused on maintaining a frozen BLV right wrist. This is easier for me that flat left wrist, maybe because I am a righty.

Today, I was thinking about the longitudinal center of gravity. I was looking for it on my sand wedge (just hanging it by the end of the grip). Then I started to see how it behaves differently depending on how you move the club. I tried to visualize where the LCOG was at all times.

Then I started swinging...Basic and acquired motions. Trying to let that LCOG do what it wants to do and base all motion around it. Then it happened. At address, and impact fix, I visualized a line from the leading edge of the clubface (also extending out from the toe of the club directly from the leading edge) which went up through my left hand (on the top of the club...sort of inbetween my left thumb and forefinger.) I think this line goes through the hand and extends at some angle from 6:00, or the bottom of the shaft). From the spot where this line goes through the left hand I can sense a line that goes straight up to my shoulder. I tried to only move the club in compliance with that line. All of a sudden, my takeaway was pulling this line back (with the right forearm). I was able to maintain this line with all those funky swivels required for dual horizontal hinging that I never really got before. This line stayed in tact from impact fix to finish. After 2 swings the light bulb went on: "OOOOOh, THAT is the left arm flying wedge!!!"



Now I have two wedges that assemble my power package. It took some time to develop those wedges.....alot of incubator time. I'm pretty sure they are there to stay. It actually feels exactly like the little yellow guy at the top of the page next to the 'LynnBlakegolf.com' logo.
