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."

Yep, that is right!! Its amazing how this was known all those years ago but yet no one really mentioned it.
Also another player by the name of Ben Hogan set up the exact same way. He was an ok player from what I heard too
