A Gripping Question

CROMWELL, CONNECTICUT

Q. Did you change any part of your game this year playing on the Nationwide with an eye towards, all right, if you can get this in order, then I might be in a position to move back in next year?

JAY WILLIAMSON: I'm really working on my outfit. I just wasn't sure -- I'm going all white shirts out there, you know. (Laughing). That's a good question. I didn't really -- gosh, the last couple of years, I was kind of caught in between two fundamentals in my golf swing. Unfortunately, I kind of hit that stage while I was on a medical exemption and so I had limited time, but yet I was trying to work on something, like all guys do out here. But what I was trying to work on was not really, well, I'm working on my grip or I'm working on my posture, it was pretty fundamental on how you release the club. And I fought it for a year and a half...

JAY WILLIAMSON: I have more confidence in what I'm doing. I feel more confident with how I'm actually trying to hit the golf ball.


Jay and I focused on the Swinger's Sequence Release at Sugarloaf in Atlanta three weeks before he won at Ft. Smith. There we built on the foundation that was laid during his first visit late last summer. [See my post #17 in the Jay Williamson Wins thread. http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=4684]

Essentially, his 'Golfer's Flail' was somewhat jammed up. To free his Action, we Turned his Left Hand grip a smidgeon to the right and got him Cocking and Uncocking the Left Wrist properly (Perpendicular Motion -- the plane of the Left Arm Flying Wedge). Here's a Before & After of the grip.

Wow, that's a big difference. Nice work, Lynn.

Will be pulling for Jay to close the deal today. He was refreshingly honest in his GolfChannel interview about being nervous and the craziness surrounding leading going into Sunday on the big tour. Hopefully he can redirect that energy into good golf shots today!

Is he overlapping with his left forefinger on the outside ...does he do this with all his clubs?

Boss . . . why did the turned grip get his Left Arm Wedge working better?

His motion looked SOOOOOOO good Saturday. I imagine it should be on YOUTUBE at some point.

Go JAY GO!!!

When I first saw him, he was arching (horizontal motion) the left wrist and both the top and the finish. Clearly, that is no longer the case.

Clearly! I got the tee-boo toe-jam or whatever it is set to record it. This story is MADE for these golf network cats. It's like it is in the cards for this to happen. Whatever happens . . . it's gonna be fun to watch!

Go Jay!

Very nice! Battled back coming down the stretch and hung in there. A job well done.

Wow!
This was the most exciting, entertaining round of golf I have seen in ages. I will only echo what Nick Faldo had to say about Jay Williamson-- that he played brilliantly, and has absolutely no reason to hang his head!! WELCOME BACK TO THE BIG SHOW, JAY!!
