I agree 12-5 is wonderful. John's reply was right on. He is a great student. There are a lot of guys out on tour who use 12-5 in there warm up routine. But John is one of the very few who knows what it is really all about. I have worked with players of all levels, from beginner to tour player and try to convey to all of them how important it is. I let them know that the Three Stages of 12-5 should be used for the rest of there golfing life. They serve two purposes 1) to build alignments and 2) to maintain alignments.
Do you think it would be advantagious to go through basic, acquired and total motions in a net if you could not get to the range everyday? By the way my HG's are really sweet. Thanks for everything and let me know when the 460 driver is out.
yes it would be very helpful.mr.kelly has that in the book.learn your mechanics,before taking it to the range.the new taylormade driver is alreadt available,to us tour playes

Johngolf33,
Absolutley yes!!! Everyday. You will be the first to know about the HG 460cc.
Thanks for your quick replies. I will try approaching 12-5 in the way you described John following some of your warm up routine, with the sand wedge and then eight iron.
John and Rob as a follow up how do y'all incorporate the first paragraph of the Basic Motion Curriculum into your lesson's and routines??
Homer said, "Use a slow, smooth motion up-and-back, down-and-out and up-and-in the same distance in both directions as continously as possible."
John do you use dowels to accomplish this part of 12-5???
