That's right, Bob. As is the unconscious habit of almost all beginners -- and even many who are well beyond that stage -- Vickie would 'hit and rake' ball after ball without taking a new Grip. The correct Address Routine involves verifying a new Grip, Plane Line and Balance for each Shot.
Also, she did not yet know Station Three -- The Finish -- as the precision destination it is. During the course of the lesson, she came to know and, more importantly, Feel, four key alignments at the Finish:
1. Left Wrist alignment.
2. Left Hand location.
3. Clubshaft position.
4. Body position and Balance.
The cure I used was to ask her to hold each Finish, verify her alignments and then totally release the Club.
