The Hands And The Three Zones

That's because it pulls your attention away from the Hands and their assigned task of executing the correct On Plane Geometry during the Start Up. Dear Yoda, I never really thought about "Position Golf" and "Alignment Golf" as being emenies. Things do seem to flow better without worrying about what position components are located. When practicing "Alignment Golf" should I be concentrating on the Delivery Path of the hands along with rhythm and balance?

JG 33,

Any time you focus on the Hands and their alignments you are on the righttrack. The Hands are in Zone #3 (9-3). The Balance you mention is in Zone#2 (9-2). And my guess is that by rhythm, you mean 'pace' or tempo. Although 'pace'is not The Golfing Machine definition of Rhythm (see 2-G, 6-B-3-0and The Glossary) it is still important. If so, this is the speed of the Armsand Clubhead (Zone #2 / 9-2) Up and Back and Down and Out through the Shot.Hence, you are working correctly in all three zones of the Stroke.

Stay with it, and watch your Game improve!
