Okay,so I finally get in tonight, and I've got to tell you, the above posts just'kill me!' So close and yet so far!
The simple truth is that we swing according to ourconcepts, and unfortunately, most of our concepts -- courtesy of theGolf World -- are wrong! Why do you think there are so many poor players?More to the point, why are there so many truly dedicated players who have 'hitthe wall?' No matter what they 'do' or what they 'know,' they just can't makeany real progress!
The core concepts of The Golfing Machine aresimple once understood. You know their names: Stroke Geometry.Centrifugal Force. Lag Pressure Point. Hinge Action. Plane Line Tracing. FlyingWedges. Hitting -- Axe Handle! Swinging -- Rope Handle! Maybe you even knowwhat they mean! But knowing what to do, and then actually doing it,are two totally different things!
Said Pogo:
"We have seen the enemy. And it is us!"
The Golf Stroke is all about inscribing near-perfectCircles with the orbiting Clubhead on the face of an Inclined Plane-- while simultaneously Sustaining Lag Pressure on the Clubshaftand controlling the Clubface through Impact.
You may read that last sentence again. You might evenwant to write it down and memorize it.
There are easier things in life! Still, there islittle I couldn't show a reasonably coordinated ten-year old in a very shortperiod of time. Especially if I didn't have to get him out of a ton of veryexpensively educated Bad Habits. And by the way, that is all mostGolf 'Swings' really are anyway: An amalgamation of Bad Habits that dailyreinforce their own ignorance.
It takes me an hour to write a simple prescription that Icould show you in two minutes. And even then, there is so much more I want tosay. I want to scream:
"Can you guys just all come over to my house for acouple of hours? I'll show you The Big Deals -- what really needs to bedone -- and we'll talk about it. Soon, it will all come together and makesense. Or at least enough to keep you busy for awhile."
But obviously, that's not in the cards.
So, what to do?
For me, this weekend will involve some reasonably seriousphoto shoots. You just have to have it. It is too hard without it -- for bothof us -- and too simple with it. And maybe some video. That's what we reallyneed. I don't know the capabilities of the website technology or your ownhardware/software configuration. But the Big Deal is that you need towatch me do these things. Once you see them demonstrated, you arethat much closer to being able to Translate these precision G.O.L.F. Mechanicsinto your own G.O.L.F. Feel System. Simple as that.
Or maybe the answer is just a 'homespun' no-frills videoand you guys cover my costs. I don't care.
All I know is that it is driving me nuts that I know whatyou need to know and need to do and you don't. Andsomething -- namely, my time and the current medium -- is big-time in the way.
There is an answer. I'm looking...and I would appreciateit if you would post your suggestions. Thanks.
