A pic of my student Basil Lee, before and after shot ten minutes apart.
Just wanted to thank those who have imparted into my life - Lynn Blake, Ted Fort, Chuck Evans, Denny Alberts, Ben Doyle, Gregg McHatton etc, and making it possible for me to impart to others.
We only had an hour's session that day, so we were never able to work up to 12-5-3, Total Motion. I hope to provide more pictures the following lesson.
If we cannot control a chip shot that is 2 feet in length back and through, we cannot control a pitch and we most certainly cannot control a full swing.
Too many students take the cart and put it before the horse.
They realise that the flat left wrist is the solution to their problems after being guided through 12-5-1, Basic Motion by me.
So what do they do? Go straight to the full swing and try to apply the FLW, and condemn themselves to a lifetime of frustration.
There is a reason for 12-5-1/2/3 being called Basic, Acquired and then Total Motion. There is also a reason that they are placed in that order.
can't argue with that...but it is always good for a student to see how improving the chip can almost instantly help the full swing. Helps them to understand why we work with small swings.
