Private!!! What is your major MALFUNCTION!!!!!
Yoda/VJ!

Fantastic stuff!

A couple of quick questions . . .

Could you guys cover the INSIDE-OUT CUT SHOT Mr. Kelley has suggested as anti-Steering therapy, since Steering is most pervasive major "malfunction" of loyal Koolaid sippers.

3-F-7-A STEERING is the Number One malfunction – The Bent Left Wrist and Clubhead Throwaway. Any or all of the following faults during Impact may need to be adjusted out – holding:

1. the Clubface square to the Target Line
2. the Clubhead on Target Line
3. the Clubhead on a level or upward path
A very successful anti-steering therapy is an exaggerated “inside-out” Cut Shot per 10-5-E. Study 2-J-3, 2-N and 12-3-39. You always Swing along the Plane Line but not always along the Flight Line. So learn to dismiss the Flight Line. Depend on Clubface alignment for direction control (2-J). In fact, learn to execute all Plane Line Variations (10-5) to remove all uncertainty from your Computer (14-0).


The 10-5-E Closed-Closed plane line combination with its 3 corresponding stance lines is used here. Since we are talking "INSIDE-OUT" . . .

1. Why did Mr. K determine the Inside-Out Cut Shot to be the most effective ointment for a Steering flare-up?

2. Are we to play this shot with a Closed-Open (Plane Line Closed to the LOF and Stance Line Open to the LOF)?

3. AND since this is a Cut Shot, are we to use Vertical Hinging exclusively with the Inside-Out Cut Shot?

4. If using the Inside-Out Cut Shot on a full stroke would Vertical Hinging not be inferior to Angled Hinging?

Hope you guys will take a Cut at these for Bucket . . .

Yoda, I can't believe the bad luck you had with ambient noise. A delivery truck followed by weather warning sirens?

And there is another segment with Ten Thousand Cicada's in full courtship.
But lucky for us, Yoda is graciously providing this rare content. And especially lucky for me to pick and choose which segments of the set of DVD's to showcase. There is much more that would make the toughest skeptic say hummmm, very nice. I just took deep breaths and muttered...WOW! I couldn't resist showing the Bunker segment. Witness the Masters Level demonstration of Lynn showing the variety of shots for any hinge action, on any plane angle, with any ball position, using what ever lag pressure is needed. I know I'm not ready for that test.

Quiet Please!

It ain't bad luck, Rchang, it's normal! Until I started filming videos around the country, I had no idea how much noise there is on the so-called 'tranquil' golf courses of the land.

My first attempt in Orlando, Florida, early this year met with more maintenance carts and mowers than you can imagine. After several aborted attempts, we moved to the far side of the course -- far enough away, I thought, to avoid all that activity.

I was wrong.

In fact, on this outer border of the course, in addition to the everpresent maintenance men...

"All the lonely people
Where do they all come from ?
All the lonely people
Where do they all belong?"

-- The Beatles, Eleanor Rigby

...we were also constantly interrupted by everything from barking dogs to screaming avian wildlife. The last straw came when a heliocopter -- a heliocopter for cryin' out loud! -- approached and then stopped directly above us. With its occupants apparently checking out the adjacent property, and with the entire blue sky available for parking, it then proceeded to hover in that exact spot a full ten minutes! I kid you not.

Last June, things were going quite nicely during the filming of a practice tee interview with Henning Lundstrom, GSEM, in Destin, Florida. Suddenly, the range-meister cranks up the ball-picker and begins to rattle around in front of the tee. When he gets through, he fires up his gasoline-powered ball buggy, pulls up within ten feet of our location and kills the engine. He then proceeds to dump range balls, first into the basket at Henning's feet, and then into the baskets in the adjacent stations. That job done, he cranks up again and motors away. Between him -- he made several more passes -- and what must have been the entire Florida Air National Guard conducting maneuvers in the area, Henning and I didn't stand a chance.

Then, in September, after running into similar obstacles during our first run at Woodmont C.C. in Canton, Georgia, V.J. and I declared war: We decided to film our next go-round at his quiet West Point, Mississippi, learning center. Situated at the far end of the Old Waverly Golf Club's practice range and well away from the clubhouse and golf course, it seemed to offer the perfect solution. Alas, within thirty seconds of our opening lines, a train whistle blew...and blew...and blew. I could only shake my head at V.J.:

"A train, V.J?", I said in disbelief. "You have a train around here?"

"It's three miles away," said he.

Well, maybe so, but it might as well have been next door.

Undaunted, we were out early the next morning on the scenic back side filming our Putting video. We had a two hour window until the first golfers would come through and had to make the most of it. We set up our cameras and got things rolling.

Then came Blowerman.

We're talkin' about a guy on a major league tractor pulling a giant leaves blower. Between the two machines, it sounded like Saturday at the Indy 500. And for some unknown reason, Blowerman decides to make the adjacent rough his career project. He simply would not go away! Even the normally cool-as-a-cucumber V.J. finally lost it and invoked an expletive or three.

When Blowerman finally ran out of gas, we moved to take advantage of the renewed peace and quiet. But we no sooner get started again when the guy who lives just off that green cranks up his riding mower and proceeds to mow his backyard. I am not making this up!

The delivery truck and weather sirens you talked about, Rchang? I never heard them.

I swear to goodness, I never heard them.

Lynn,

Congratulations on picking up about the nonesense about bunker shots being the easiest shot in golf that teaching pros repeat ad nauseum.

as u basically say its cr.. as far as it relates to almost every player

that this is perpetuated in itself says a lot about golf teaching in general

nice music with the video by the way

I really enjoyed watching the clips. Knowing exactly how to execute shots is much better than just having a rough idea. I raised this in this thread

http://www.manzellagolfforum.com/for...?TOPIC_ID=2677

I went to the course and practiced what you taught. I have got those shots down now. It took minutes. Another compartment is now tidied up. I look forward to the short game DVD so that I can get the other unclear bits of my game fixed. Thank you .
