O.B.Left,

I hope you guys don't mind the thread jack, but your driver yips comment hit close to home...

I quit the game this summer because of the driver yips. I couldn't even hit drivers on the practice range, buildings and other golfers weren't safe, and I didn't want my members to see me, I needed to give a few lessons and didn't want them to see how bad I was hitting it...

I solved the problem by beginning my journey of learning TGM, finding out that I had lost ALL MY LAG PRESSURE, along with losing all sensation of where the club-head and club-face were, and working with the Pure Ball Striker while reading the yellow book to get the lag feeling back. Sorry if that looks like a plug, but I consider it as a public service announcement. It has allowed me to play golf again, Just in time for the snow.

Now so it doesn't look so much like a thread jack, I'm keeping my lag pressure through the line of compression, with a steady head placed right between my feet, and striping it!

You wrote..........a frig it.

Couple of notes:

-as per another one of your threads, axis tilt as defined in TGM assumes the head is centered. The ability to do this is a display of "Hula hula flexibility" with the hips and a resulting tilt of shoulders.
-the head back move, I think, is a compensation regardless of who is doing it. It allows more time for the primary lever assembly to lengthen by moving low point further back in the stance. A common move for junior golfers who cant support the increasing mass of the levers extension with their power packages or throw out action. A moved that once learned is hard to break especially for the physically weaker adult golfer be they male or female.

This is C.O.A.M. as Homer defined it (6-C-2-B) and as it should be applied when building your own machine. The reason we release a driver earlier than a wedge for instance. The reason some hang back. A reason for kids clubs.

You could with a long enough lever move the world but who here amongst us could move a lever of that length?

I played with a guy who overcame his driver yips by cutting it down to 5 iron length. He didnt seem to lose much distance.

Where is Golfgnome?
