If I get a perfect backstroke (or close) and keep that power package braced with the right arm intact, should I be able to step and roll the whole shoulder and package Down and through the ball for the long clubs?

Perfect Zone 1



Lynn shows on the TEd Fort tape that there is no independently extending right elbow so the whole power package must come down together as allowed by the Pivot right?

Depends on your Release procedure. Sweep, Snap, etc.

I played 27 holes, today.

Got to the course, early, 6:15 am. Tee time at 6:45am. I warmed up with 4 acquired motions FBRW/TBLP/Pivot/Right Shoulder Follows DOWN, DOWN, DOWN (from 20 balls).

Hit 10 more balls practicing FROZEN BRW and trying to really roll the shoulder down. Off to the tee.

Pulled first ball left at about a 20 degree angle, and the 9 iron was pulled left of the green by about 10 feet. I went on to shoot a weird 44. Dbl, almost bird, almost bird, almost bird (all 3 GIR's putt burns edge), dbl, dbl, trpl, par, par. I still have a bad habit of forgetting to really extend and trace the BLP and taking my hands too far in. I also have a bad habit of playing the ball too far back. That leads to snap hooks, pulling into trees and missing greens in really foul places given a hard and fast ground.

Lessons learned! Ball moved up. TRACE! LOOK! PIVOT and RIGHT SHOULDER FLOWS TO BALL. Shoot 40. Par, birdie, almost birdie (edge), bogie, bogie, par (very nervous, tell myself "hang on, one bogie and two easy pars and I shatter the 40 barrier,")203 yard par 3 and I send the par putt 20 feet past the hole. Dbl. So I smother a drive into the biggest pine tree south of the North Pole on the next hole. DBL. Par.

9 more holes. Lessons learned. Lots of good shots. Shoot 40 again.

I have to keep my nose over the ball. TRACE, STEP and ROLL.

I have this 40 thing down!
