remember this please

I wish I had read the post from February 24 before going to practice yesterday. I had the same experience where after just 5 minutes I had skulled and fatted so many shots I thought I'd have to quit. At the end of 90 minutes I was chipping and pitching like I really knew what I was doing, and my touch is always pretty good if my mind quiets down and the tension melts away.

I began trying to use the kevin compare method and I was standing up straight and well everything was going wrong.

I ended up with lots of bend from the waist which allows my arms to hang down freely and the backswing is initiated by the small pivot and knee movement. My hands feel very soft and neutral on the grip.

When I go "bad" I straighten up and as Johnny Miller says, " pop my belly out " which cause me to lose my spine angle and the bottom of my swing. And tense up and lose all my rhythm. The reverse of this is to make the motion which Tom Watson describes in his "the secret" you tube video. My right shoulder comes out and past the ball and the club swings to the left. Like I am playing a big cut. The club face stays constant and I do not scoop/add loft. And I tend to be able to contact the ball first. There was some acceleration too and the club stays lower to the ground as it goes through.

This is my motion and I will stay with it and practice it through the end of the season. I had a good pre-shot going where I make two practice swings with this motion feeling the finish place or form and then simply make the motion with the ball in the way maintaining spine angle and being as soft and rhythmic as possible.
