Now I don't know if this fact completely rules out that my pivot contributed to my flipping, but I do know how I was able to solve the flipping . . . I started paying attention to the fact I was overaccelerating from the top and almost immediately losing the lag pressure on pressure point #3 on full swings (not on short shots). I started working on acquired motion, really feeling PP #3 load in the backswing and maintaining that heavy feeling through impact. It was absolutely remarkable how different it felt. Once I videotaped this swing I realized that my newly acquired feel was not lying, I was indeed maintaining the lag pressure. I slowly increased my acceleration and my swing length and in about 5 minutes total I had transformed my action through the ball! It all started with REALLY feeling PP#3 load and remain loaded. __________________ "In my experience, if you stay with the essentials you WILL build a repeatable swing undoubtedly. If you can master the Imperatives you have a champion" (Vikram). The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts) mrodock View Public Profile Send a private message to mrodock Find all posts by mrodock
