The Drill DVD is AWESOME! I have NEVER seen drills divided according to the Three Zones. They way we practice to a large extent determines how we perform "out there" I know of very few people that work on any single thing for a sufficient length of time to develop a recognizable proficiency. Yoda mentioned once that Larry Nelson was still working on right forearm takeaway...ten years later! Now, you can organize your practice time around the three zones. 1 zone per practice session, or all three at different times during the same session. What is important it that their seperate identitites are recognized. How often do you ask someone at the range "Whattaya workin' on?" The reply is usually "Dunno...I freakin' hate this game!" Now you can say "Pivot...working on a flat shoulder turn...using a McD drill" The draw back to that particular drill is that it does not require striking a ball, ergo most people will not do it! This is partly why people make little progress. success is the willingness to bear pain! A sans-ball drill is painful for most of us!

Member challenge - I challenge everyone to keep a tally of the number of executed basic motion shots, especially the snowed-in lot. My guess is that even people who rave about basic motion seldom do it!

I hit 100 yesterday, basking in a sunshine bathed afternoon. It does not count if you do not pre-select a hinge action...then execute it. It also does not count if you don't look, look, look!

So my total stands at 100.
