The Address Routine -- A Three-Part Series

[Yoda]

This video begins our three-part series on the Address Routine.

For our LBG Friends: Actually, this first video will probably be #2 in the Series by the time we get it all figured out. The introductions (including 'Bubba') need to get in here somehow! Also, we apologize in advance for the low-budget miking and Mother Nature's decision to move a windy fall cold front through during the filming. But not to worry, there's a ton of good info here, and the price is right...



This segment features Ted Fort, PGA, GSEB, 2006 Georgia PGA Teacher of the Year, demonstrating his very own Hitting alignments.

Both Hitters and Swingers should watch this video with regards to the fundamentals. However, Swingers should carefully differentiate those Components that clearly are in contrast to their own action. Particularly, the Hitter's Impact Address (Flat left Wrist and Bent Right) versus the Swinger's Standard Address (Bent Left Wrist and Flat Right).

The next video will feature Jeff Hull, PGA, GSEB, 2004 Georgia PGA Champion, demonstrating his very own Swinging alignments. Caveat emptor for Hitters!

The Series features more than one hour of video. As a result, these files are large. Unless you have a broadband connection, we recommend that you right-click on the link, and save the video to your PC before viewing.

Enjoy everybody...

We do it all for you!

Thanks, Bagger!

Thank you for doing this all for us Lynn, Ted and Bagger.
We deeply appreciate your efforts!

Very nice, clear explanations.

Ted... do you start from behind the ball, or walk in from the side, when you play? I think many people think that one has to start from behind, like Jack Nicklaus and others, but I think that one does not necessarily have to do that. Starting from behind is probably a good thing for most, but I believe Tom Kite at one point, for example, determined he does better from the side.

What do you think?

Thanks a lot, Lynn, Ted and Bagger.

I am proud to say that I have almost a hitting motion like Ted!!

The similarities are when I use both hands and Ted uses his right arm only motion

Man was that impressive or what?

[EdZ]

"mmm... doggie"

Love that pattern Ted! No doubt it is thanks to seeing your motion and working with both of you that I am at 'masters' level execution with my hitting and swinging patterns.

Gotta love this place.... Looking forward to the rest of the series.

I used to be one of a stupid self learner to place a shaft in front of spin and tilt all the way to the right.

THX LBG! THX HOMER KELLEY!

first i would like to thank all those involved with posting these great videos.

i have a question regarding the angle of approach. as ted had indicated that the blur is going from 7 to 1 o'clock (looking toward the target). since the hitter is driving a straight line on this inside-out delivery line (not target line), there is a tendency to go above plane, yoda had mentioned this in another post. in adopting 10-5-E, where you cover the inside line to keep from going above plane, would this create something that looked like /|\. the vertical line in the middle is just to indicate ball separation. it seems that there would be some kind of hand, club, body manipulation to make aclubhead blur look like /|\. just seeking some clarification.

as a side note, i was actually taught the fake axis tilt by an instructor. looking forward to the rest of this segment.
thanks
