I seldom post scores...especially the good ones. I cannot begin to tell you how poorly I was hitting the ball (even for an infrequent player) I start to get down...then watching the DVDs again I realized that was my problem...I had lost the down...the 3-D impact. I got the old bungee cord out and started doing the extensor action drill with the right forearm pick-up and noticed that my hand path had become more circular...add insuffiicient hand speed etc. I rate that one of my best ball-striking rounds because not only did I hit the ball well but not once did the clubhead outrace my hands through the ball....that was the first time EVER that I sustained the lag pressure on all of my full shots in a single round of golf. Experimenting with this and that I had moved away from the importance of lag pressure. I did hit quite a few shots that were not 100% on line...in fact I only hit 3-4 that you could put a hat over them...but the 3 dimensional impact was there. If I had scored 5 strokes higher I would still have been chuffed!
