The problem I'm having is translating that feeling I have throught the hitting zone while chipping and pitching to the full swing. I have seen improvement with my worst problem (topping the ball) with some very good advie from Compda (AKA Jusin ) but that great feeling and quality of contact that I get from prcticing TGM chipping and pitching still eludes me with the full swing I am feeling the problem with monitoring the flat left wrist and the bent right wrist in the hitting zone and I really don't know if it's being sustained and what it would feel like when correctly executed in the full swing So I know this is all in the learning process and I am committed to trusting the process but any and all advice isa welcome and appreciated. Michael Hi Mike buddy, "but that great feeling and quality of contact that I get from prcticing TGM chipping and pitching still eludes me with the full swing" This great feeling and quality of contact eludes you because (and I hazard a guess)of the addition of pivot motion in the Total Motion per 12-5-3. Not to say that there are no pivot components in 12-5-1 and 12-5-2 the Basic and Acquired Motions or the chip and pitch strokes - they are just zeroed out. I would suspect that in your full swing, the pivot hinders rather than helps your full swing. Per 9-0: "The Three Zones are a natural division of the action. Their identities must be maintained in teaching, practice and playing. And unless developed in sequence, a very weak "compensated" game is inevitable." Train the pivot (Zone 1) then let the hands control the pivot. Per 9-1, "Emphatically, Hands are not educated until they control the Pivot." __________________ The Singapore Slinger http://justintanggolf.blogspot.com comdpa View Public Profile Send a private message to comdpa Find all posts by comdpa
