I can certainly become more consistent if I can have the left forearm more level at address. And I will try that out some more.

But it doesn't address the biggest stroke waster in my game.

I can sure understand how 6 months basic motion can help the stroke. It is just so much easier to sense the alignments on shorter strokes. I read somewhere that Freddi Couples loved to do full motion in slow motion. That is probably a good exercise too.

Anyway I think I'll try this one. (Thanks for the quote Kevin)

. . .

I think I need to firm up my power pack assembly. It is just too flimsy right now. It wasn't always like that. It has just slipped away sometime somewhere.

Basic motion is probably a very good idea too.

Bernt,

With all due respect to your Left-Handed Stroke . . .

We will now discuss it in this thread in RIGHT-HANDED terms.

All of us here -- lefties and righties -- are cool with that.



Now, to the instant case . . .

Your posts engender just way too much self-described try and think and probably and sometime somewhere. If I may be so bold -- -- Yoda says there is no "try" or "think" or "probably" or "sometime somewhere". There is only "do" or "do not." Therefore . . .

DO as Kevin has suggested in his post #10 . . .

Address the ball with your Left Wrist Level and your Right Forearm On Plane. This is hugely different from your current Cocked Left Wrist and Above Plane Right Forearm at Address (and will feel very strange!).

Practice this Address for three weeks.

In fact, make this new alignment the subject of your next post. Revel in it. Shoot a still down-the-line photo and prove to us that you really want to change.

Then . . .

Film again and submit for comment.

Including my own.

Until you do this, we are wasting your time (and you ours) in a sea of compensations.



PS Somebody please flip the BG '07 Honda 'Level Left Wrist' Address photo and compare to Bernt's 'Cocked' Left Wrist Address. Bernt has much work to do, all long before the club leaves the back of the ball. Once that hill is won, true progress beckons. Thanks!

PPS Bernt, order -- TODAY -- a copy of Percy Boomer's great work On Learning Golf (1946). You'll be glad you did!
