TAPES
 

Where does one get these tapes?

Yes. Same thing as if you'd stick a rod vertically into the ground and setup with the target line perpendicular to the rod's shadow. At lowpoint the rod and shaft shadows should align. Thus this test will give you a good idea about aiming point.

I don't know how many times in his life Ben has said:

- This looks so far forward, but its not!

Re: TAPES
 

Yes. If you pull your club back anytime Ben will let you know. Always shoot-hold-rest. Any jerky motion is a no-no.

I was with Ben less than a month ago. As I said he had several impact bags and also made me hit two different tyres. The smaller one seemed like an old EZGO tire.

Ben rents tapes from previous lessons. I do not think you can get them anywhere else than from Ben or someone who has been there. See his homepage.

Thanks For the clarification and the extra info metallion.
This sounds like the precision we are looking for in 2-0.

His phone number is on his website. He'll probably be in a lesson when he answers...at least he was for me!

:D

Ben tapes all his lessons. He teaches everyone the same way. They are raw- I had one with the text still on the screen and had to watch around it and it is in real time, but.... loaded with good info. It is best to call and talk with him. 50 bucks for 3 months. Martin Hall rents them all the time.

I bet Ben is getting a lot of calls these days from Yoda-phites.

ben also has a similar drill that i saw him use on steve elkington he takes a two by four about 8 inches long and then puts another two by four that is longer in line with the first but with a gap between the two of maybe 3 inches your supposed to hit the first board using a chipping technique and have it hit the second board without flipping it over and without adding so at the end of the drill the boards are both touching and your clubhead is touching the first board. elkington had a tough time doing this. ben always says "dont add multiply"

After watching Ben's video many times and seeing the correct moves, this video really gave me a reference of what I was most likely doing compared to what I was striving for. This video was very educational...thank you.

Watching this video made me realize how active my hands are and how quiet my lower body is, though it didn't "appear" so to my eye on my swing video. At the range I made an adjustment and the difference in the feeling with the chipping procedure felt "controlled" and distance control was very easy. On the full swing, I just had to trust it and only hit a few shots the way I had intended and I knew it immediately. What I noticed when I felt I performed the move properly was impact, ball flight, distance control, accuracy, were all present. Sitting here now I can still remember what it felt like and what the ball flight looked like.

The Sound Of...Compression
 

And probably one more, Fogger...

What it sounded like.

The Feel and the Sound combine as one delicious Crunch!

I guess what he means by "don't add" is not to break down or swing from the wrists? No machine components swings forward independently?
