FEEL isn't a CONSTANT....in other words you begin with a "base" feel to your swing....so say you look at something you'd like to change...if you do it in the camera...you have to move your feel what seems like a MILE to make the change on the camera that gets you an INCH....the more "pressure" in the situation (practice swing vs. ball with net vs. driving range vs. practice round vs. playing vs. playing for cash vs. tournament) the more you will revert back to what was your "base" FEEL...but what you are trying to do is move the "needle" on your base forward to match the MECHANIC you are trying to produce.....but as Homer said...you are trying to produce feel from the mechanic...THE MECHANIC IS THE ABSOLUTE...THE FEEL IS THE VARIABLE...SO THE FEEL YOU HAVE IS A TOOL....of course then you may have to isolate a feel of the "overall swing" vs. the feel of the particular mechanic you are trying to improve....some people are good at "learning to change stuff"....others it's harder...so a more systematic approach is required....then once you've made the change...the needle has moved on your base...you trust the "new" baseline...but then you monitor...and your feel has produced another flaw you need to correct...you start the process again.... __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
