There's a driveable par4 at my course (276 yards) that I can either carry or hit fifty yards short on at any given moment I can hit those solid shots every once in a while (yesterday it was a 215yard 4iron and 175yard 7iron) but I'm left chasing that feeling for the rest of the day. I hit a flagstick from sixty yards and made par, but sh--ked a six iron two holes later. That's the type of game I've been dealing with lately

NC, I have never heard so many powerful "thunks" filled with compression from my driver as I now hear. Head stationary = balance! Right/left or Foward press with left heel/Right /Left creates whip and LAG. The proper grip allows the Flail to destroy the ball while you watch! Don't forget the separation between the left forearm above the right forearm, or the Turned Shoulder Plane.
If I can see the club head "blur" collect the ball, I know the shot is in the middle of the fairway or green. if I lost sight of the ball and blur, I lost my balance.

I'm loving the feeling of the Right/Left/Right/Left, I made it part of my Waggles and it's been helping me a lot with my Rhythm. Visually finding the clubhead "blur" is something that I haven't really considered, so I'll give it a whirl next time I'm on the range or course

Just remember NC, that my musculature is different. My slightest turn of my hip forward crashes my left heel DOWN and I feel Balanced. Still, the Stationary head enables and empowers the FLAIL!

With Great Practice Comes Great Responsibility
Last night was a pretty successful night at the range. I set up a little station with some alignment sticks, two on my Plane Line, one parallel for my Stance Line, and one standing up at the end of my Plane Line to let me know if I was really starting my ball On-Line. Well with how thin those buggers are, I was pleased with myself to hit the stick eight times (five times with my nine iron, three with my six iron) I couldn't catch it with my driver though  I worked through a bucket of balls with my nine iron, six iron, and driver trying to build a fade into my Motion. I'm just excited to see some noticeable improvements in my ball-striking going into some tournaments here in the next couple months  Just got to keep up the grind as I get ready to try out for my college team in the fall

There is no try.
There is do . . .
Or do not.
So . . .
Do it.
