Just a couple of random Friday morning thoughts.

I think a lot more people start off as hitters rather than swingers, despite the fact that many of the tour are swingers. I think popular instruction takes talented people and guides them to a swinging pattern. Naturally I think many people start off with right arm power to hit the ball rather than a left shoulder arm tug. I know unless I concentrate on pulling with the left arm and shoulder to pull the arrow out of the quiver I never have that feel, its very much of the right arm making the motion.

Question for anyone who has messed with both, I have found that I actually have better alignments hitting rather than swinging but when I try to take it to the course it does not hold up. Anyone have this happen as well?

I try to do my dowel work in my living room, check the mirror really go in slow motion. Tracing, looking, feeling the pressure build in #1 and maintained in #3.

Once I hit the course I just concentrate on keeping my head as steady as possible, trace w/ #3, and direct the thrust through #1 at my aiming point. Depending on the club driver its basically at the ball irons in front...but you knew that already

program the computer, and then just let it go only focusing on 3 thoughts at a time:

1) STEADY HEAD! (always #1!)
2) trace the plane line (at least attempt to get close to it
3)drive w/ PP #1, as I "sense" #3

These are interchangeable w/ the following....but I try to use a max of 3 before any swing.

4) hula,hula (if Im not pivoting correctly)
5) aiming point (in front for irons at the ball for driver)
6) cross line delivery
7) SLOW DOWN
frozen wrists
9) both arms straight on f.t.
