Re: Homer Needed A Downstroke Key

What a great post. I am certainly gonna try this.

While I probably have many swing faults, the biggest obstacle against more GIR's is in my case is probably the inability to trigger a stroke procedure that gives good results most of the time. I have several procedures lurking that work well. But more often than not I fail to call them.

And I often know at setup whether I have it or not. (If I were to not hit until I am 100% ready I would probably only make 36 holes during a season).

I probably need keys that is mechanically more precise than the very unprecise "now you don't have it" sensations that I currently have.

Please keep the keys coming.

Thanks,

- First post
-Norwegian golfer, new to this forum, trying to learn the
mechanical and mental aspects of the GAME
- In need of a proper terrminologi to go from feel to mechanics and back
- Now trying to use TGM as a vehicle to understand my own swing.
Results sofar:
- by consulting some of your posts - confirmed natural born hitter
- On typical bad days good directional control, and poor distance
control. Has now learned that this probably corresponds with
compression leak caused by an angular hinge action and a solid slice
under the ball (I believe I can slice a draw).
- Discovered that n good days a (much more) horisontal hinging
action is present.
- can alternate between swinging and hitting
- has recently "discovered" that the integrity of the flying wedge
correlates with my stroke quality.

- and am very impressed with the stuff that is being published on the
TGM forums.
