[spike]

I use a mid body hands address setup....

First I organize my upper body...

Left wrist on top of the shaft and paralell to the leading edge of the clubface.

Right hand to the side of the left thumb where it fits into the lifeline of the right hand.

Center the clubshaft to the middle of the hips by pushing down with the heel pad of the left hand...left hand bent, this connects the #4 pp.

Respective elbows point at the respective hips with right elbow slightly bent and a slight pressure against #1 pp will cause the elbow to move more under which will connect the right upper arm to the side of the chest (#5pp??? don't know).

Once the upper body is organized establishing the spine bend should not be a forward movement. This will cause the upper spine area to bend or hunch over with the tendency of weight moving too much to the toes.....instead push the butt back bending at the hip sockets like an oriental bow. The weight of the upper body is then counterbalanced by that of the lower body. Majority of the body weight will be towards the heels which will settle just in front of the heels when the knees are bent. The ability to tap the toes up and down with both feet will give the feeling of good balance. A slight spine tilt can be established with a small forward/upward bump of the left hip. Done right this will compress the right shoulder down toward the right hip.

Who knows...may help, may not....still gotta hit that ball.
