Great Expectations? Charles Dickens Doesn't Live Here!

I don't recall mentioning any expectations for this student. I merely pointed out his first 'wobbly' point and what had to happen to correct it.

I did mention that "humble expectations" -- that is, rational expectations tempered in reality -- are the key to a lifetime of enjoyment of the Game. I also mentioned the will 'o the wisp of Instant Perfection. Both statements imply the opposite view of the one you have attributed to me.

That said, I have seen many, many students improve instantly and permanently with an improved Head position. Bottom line: It is extremely difficult to get your Hands well forward through Impact with your Head hanging back and down over your right Foot.
