The heel pad on my hand usually blocks my view of the grip cap. When taking my normal grip I can see probably over 3/4ths of the grip cap at classic address and pretty much all of it at impact fix. Also, thanks Surf! At the range I hit almost every ball with an open stance. I laid down a club pointing at the target, then took my stance open relative to the club. After experimenting just a little with ball position I was hitting the ball more solid, straighter, and definitely higher with my 7 iron (a little higher with driver). Hey Bucket, what do think of the open stance thing? Seems to me if Ted and Lynn had Surf do it, it might not be a bad thing. Holla Just remembered, my divots shallowed out quite a bit. Very nice to see. Any chance you have video of your swing I could see? Remember per 2-J-2 . . . "Don’t hesitate to change your Stance Line – for physical and psychological reasons or for the situation at hand. Stance Line does not affect the Plane or Target Line. Just use the corresponding Pivot per 10-12 and don’t be misled by the apparent results – your “Down-the-Target-Line Impact” could be just a well executed Push Shot. Even from an ASSUMED Square-Square position. And your apparently Outside-In Impacts may actually be fine Pull Shots. Study 2-L. The Plane Line is the BOSSMAN . . . and he don't care about your feet. I like the open stance. If you hit what are you going to do though? Are you using the Geometric Plane Line and tracing it? Or are you going to use the 10-5-E Visual Equivalent Plane Line Cross-Line to Right Field? There are PLENTY of the dudes that make enough money to buy and sell me and you and Mike O that play from an Open Stance. So smoke 'em if you got 'em my friend. My favorite of all time Lee Buck does it . . . so make it happen Capt'n. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to get video of my flickdid move out here. I have an 8mm video camera. I can mail you a tape though. How big a boy are you? What's your handicap? Do you hit the short irons better than the long irons? Can you hit the driver straight? I was just wondering cause we may have been separated at birf. I of course being much much prettier'n you. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
