That said . . .

They do have problems, as do you and I.

Unlike us, these guys rarely lose Lag. They know how to keep their Left Wrist Flat (Imperative #1) and relentlessly stress the Shaft (Imperative #2). As a result, they have no problem belting the Ball to the back of the range and beyond. Almost always then, their 'Swing' problem (which often includes their 'Putting' problem) lies in Direction and Plane (Imperative #3).

When I stand behind a PGA TOUR player, I am aware of his Motion (and its idiosyncrasies), but I give it only a passing glance. This guy can stress the shaft though Impact, and the ball explodes. He knows it, and I know it.

What I'm looking for is On Plane consistency:

Is the Club's Start Up Path and Release Path identical (8-4)?

Shot after shot, THAT is what I'm looking for. All too many times, the two paths are different.

Then, I ask myself "why" . . . and what must happen to reconcile the two.

That is where the magic lies.

Gotta love anything that makes it simpler. That is what I see every time I watch the video of Yoda and Brian Gay working together. Great stuff!
