In March or April of this year, I came across TGM with its emphasis on the three imperatives. I realized that I was a struggling flipper. There are all kinds of causes for this; for me, I was quitting on my pivot too soon. In order to overcome this problem, I started working on Basic Motion everyday. I hit about 60 balls or so. While doing this, I focused on a FLW and taking a divot after I hit the ball. After a while, I started working on Acquired Motion, while intentionally and actively trying to swing to follow through. I would hit 45 or so balls with Basic Motion and 45 balls or so with Acquired Motion. That exercise got me to keep my pivot going through impact. At the end of the day, I ingrained a stroke pattern that enabled my pivot to carry my arms and hands through impact without quitting; and the result is that I can, most of the time, not all, swing with a FLW at impact without thinking about it, or doing anything active to get a FLW. So . . . I would say, given GolfBulldog's question, that a FLW in a good swing is the result of the natural geometry of the swing and not something that one actively does in a full stroke; but in order to learn how to do that, one must spend some time intentionally and actively hitting with a FLW, through Basic Motion and Acquired Motion.
