Make sure your wrist conditions are correct when taking the right forearm on plane at address, most people have the left wrist already cocked and to set the right forearm on plane in this condition you have to do some unnatural things.

true, true...level left wrist is key

Good point. Yet another of the "bad instruction" list for me...let your arms hang straight down. Builds in wrist cock, low hands, lots of problems (for me, anyway).

Though I'm not a hitter this is a really good point. I finally figured out that often my left wrist is not level at address or impact. Getting it level (at least I think it is) has helped a lot, I can get my right forearm on plane now :) I'm hitting the ball almost as long as before my tinkering while I feel I'm really only using about 50% effort (compared to always trying to knock the snot out of the ball.......helps get to uncocked and max. lever extension).

You fit right in with me and my homeys. We will be working on these same principles the rest of our golfing lives. Mr Maestro, the most important thing I have learned so far, keep it simple. Don't go too deep into the book until you have made sure your wobble doesn't lie in the Imperatives or Essentials. Those are our fundamentals, and it's unbelievable how many lessons I give that don't have to go past them without being extremely helpful to the student, and especially for self diagnosis. I like to make personal swing key lists, along with Homer's Imperatives, Kevin's Imperatives include the level left wrist.

lost swing
 

I was playing in a tourney last week when it "happened",I lost my swing completly,had my lie angles redone and clubs regripped the day before. The situation called for a turnaround somewhere,and I was lucky ,simply turned back into a hitter for remaining 14 holes,got a "A" H/cap win at least,my point is....how good is it to be able to have reliable alternate pattern to fall back on............staying with it for the near future,my cocern at this point is that while my irons deserted me my driver was still solid in swing pattern,is it OK to play with both,I might add I did stay with swing on small chips

NiceB!
 

Do you use senior shafts on anything?

It is definitely ok to use both however u need to understand their differences, account for them and make sure one does not influence the other which can be difficult when switchig back and forth this is why homer preferred that all your patterns be the same from putt to drive well at least the same loading action. It's easy to confuse the machine and switchig between loading can be tricky

Level Left Wrist/turn/pivot
 

Swing thought for the club championship I think!

It's the first thing Yoda did to fix Lou Holtz! It makes the swing sooooo much easier.
