Ive noticed as a drive load hitter that the further away I stand (which makes me bend over more) the easier it is to get the shaft on plane at address, and the better my ball striking.
Good point. Yet another of the "bad instruction" list for me...let your arms hang straight down. Builds in wrist cock, low hands, lots of problems (for me, anyway).

Though I'm not a hitter this is a really good point. I finally figured out that often my left wrist is not level at address or impact. Getting it level (at least I think it is) has helped a lot, I can get my right forearm on plane now I'm hitting the ball almost as long as before my tinkering while I feel I'm really only using about 50% effort (compared to always trying to knock the snot out of the ball.......helps get to uncocked and max. lever extension).

You fit right in with me and my homeys. We will be working on these same principles the rest of our golfing lives. Mr Maestro, the most important thing I have learned so far, keep it simple. Don't go too deep into the book until you have made sure your wobble doesn't lie in the Imperatives or Essentials. Those are our fundamentals, and it's unbelievable how many lessons I give that don't have to go past them without being extremely helpful to the student, and especially for self diagnosis. I like to make personal swing key lists, along with Homer's Imperatives, Kevin's Imperatives include the level left wrist.

Swing thought for the club championship I think!

It's the first thing Yoda did to fix Lou Holtz! It makes the swing sooooo much easier.
And then Impact Fix right? I tend to get out of my car in Impact Fix. Brush my teeth with Impact Fix but doing it the other way each time puts the right forearm on plane which is crucial, n'est pas?
