Poundin' Pinetree!

First, thanks Lynn for all his help. We've worked over the last few years on a number of things. Here's a brief synopsis:

Properly Soling the Club: I had a "bob" upward at the top, and it was caused by not "getting as far from the ball as possible"
at adjusted address. Taking excessive bend out from the knees, and spine at adjusted address took the bob away immediately.

Extensor Action: Maintaining the feel of the right arm staying straight (but under plane) at the top (and/or end), as well as at follow through increased the "structure" of my swing - less wobbles!

Hand Controlled Pivot: I have struggled with this for years! Making back swings with just my right arm, then attaching my left arm at various stages taught me the proper feel. I've also come to understand that with basic motion (zeroed shoulder turn) and aquired motion (minimal pivot), the pivot moves only enough to support the hands moving on the proper plane of the right forearm. This supporting role of the pivot to the motion of the hands was really big for me!

It's been a great ride - even though I've always been a pretty good ball striker, my shots have more compression now than ever before.

My association with Lynn has been a privilege; I look forward to being a part of making Lynn Blake Golf a world wide leader in golf instruction.
