[Yoda]

Getting towards the end of the bucket of balls, Yoda had me hit some drivers just to finish things off. Again, the block rights appeared and the route cause of which was…you guess it ‘Roundhousing’ My right hip was getting in the way of things as well so Yoda suggested that I’d set up with a closed stance (I can’t remember whether it was 10-5-C or 10-5-E that was suggested…..Yoda??) This allowed my to hit the ball from the inside with the driver and stop the roundhousing (coupled with the downstroke waggles) when I did this right, I was hitting the driver a lot better and started even drawing it too!!! For someone who has lived with a slice or a push fade all his golfing life, this was amazing thing to see.

In conjunction with numerous, correctly-performed Start Down Waggles, Alex used the Closed Plane Line and Stance Line of 10-5-E to rid him of his Roundhousing Down Stroke.

Tracing the slightly-Closed Plane Line promoted a true Inside-Out Stroke and its Draw tendency. The Closed Stance Line took the Right Hip out of the way of the Right Elbow (in both directions) and enabled his Hands to remain On Plane (a delightful alternative to his old Over-the-Top move).

Alex combined these alignments with his new Horizontal Hinge Action Wrist Roll through Impact and, also, his strong Swivel into the Finish. The end result was consistent and truly spectacular: High, hard Draws 20-40 yards longer than his 'usual.'

Congratulations, Alex!



Oh, one more thing...

The next day I brought out an old Alex Morrison book, Better Golf Without Practice, and turned to a Down-the-Line Driver sequence of a young Sam Snead. A white Line parallel to the Target Line had been painted down the entire length of the Fairway, and Sam's slightly-Closed alignments -- including his In-to-Out Tracing Right Forearm -- were apparent.

"Hey, that's just what I'm doing now!" said Alex.

"Right you are," beamed 'ol Yoda, "Right you are."
