Let's look at the shots around the green. Setting into impact fix and moving number 1 (the right forearm back and through) is the hitting chip. Setting into impact fix and using pivot power (number 4) is the swinging chip. Different hinges can be used to control the layback of the face which in turn will gives us different trajectories and travel.

Now let's look at the cut-shot and the lob shot. Two separate shots outsided the chip or basic pitch which can be used for exaggerating high shots. The trouble is these high shots are needed more and more around modern day greens.

So work on these four shots independently. Separately on different days. Better yet someone pick a shot from the above and let's define them out component by component so our practice can be even more intense.

--------------------------------------
By the way I teach the full swing all day long. At the very end of my playig mini's I Monday qualified for a tour event. "Take the blinders off" I told myself. "Let's really watch these guys and see what their ball is doing different than yours." I had played with this caliber player before but more as a performer than a researcher. So I sat back and watched and what I saw were nice "tight swings" with lower, boring ball flights in great balance. What I saw from my swing was a swing which lacked extensor action, a high ball flight, and good balance. So that started my journey to G.O.L.F.

I will do all I can to take Homer's work and put it into the short game.
