Hi Big,

I am sure you're saying the same thing as Shawn Clement, but his instruction in this video combines it all-- says what Hogan and Bobby Jones and Jack Nicklaus did-- and he shows it more graphically than I have ever seen. Easy to understand--and impossible to misinterpret. Turn, PLANT, swing. The "Plant" move requires us to push our butt toward the target to balance the arms extended the opposite direction. Then snap that front leg straight and swing around you "post."

He said, "the only way to hit it straight is by having the weight on the front leg post."

Good enough for me. Now I know what to concentrate on.

I agree with Penick that short iron is the best way to practice--hit 100 with the same iron when drilling to ingrain a different move sequence. Ignore where the ball goes, concentrate on your body moves. Most will need to hit several dozen balls doing that several days in a row to permanently change your golf swing. Its worth it!

But most important is that you don't play or swing driver, etc. until you have it down pat!!! Each time you revert to old habits, skip through the PLANT in the sequence, you erase dozens or hundreds of good swings. Back to "square one."

You are right and you are right...

The farther I got away from the wedges today the quicker the feeling disappeared...had to continually go back to the wedge while working my way through the set to keep the "feeling"...
