Ladies and gentlemen, I have received my copy of Alignment Golf and its is educating my hands to better golf already. However, I have stumbled across another problem. After viewing and practicing the extensors action lessons and drills, I now cannot hit the ball fat for bunker shots. I've tried using my aiming point to direct my hands a few inches behind the ball but I still strike the ball crisp. I also tried the dollar-bill drill but that does not seem to help either. Don't get me wrong, I love the crisp clean ball contact but I need to be able to play out of green side bunkers too.
I have a "tip" for you on this one given to me by a helluva bunker player Tony Johnstone. He advised me not to grip down the shaft too much. Some times people grip down so much that there low point is actually above the sand or at least not deep enough...hence ball first contact!
I'll give it a try Okie. One thing I like to add to this is, Mr. Blake and his team are right on the money when they advised to work on the Basic and Acquired Motions--there's really Magic in the Right Forearm.
New to this forum but have read great feedback on these tapes on other forums.
My only concern is I am quite new to golf (only been playing for a year and on a 22 handicap) and was wondering if these are tailored for the more advanced golfer and the newbie would be left scratching their head over some of the TGM terminology?
One area that I do need to work on is getting better compression and cleaner/crisper contact so if there is a chapter on this that would be a start.
The Alignment Golf DVDs will absolutely help a 22 handicapper---it will get you on the proper course sooner and save you time from floundering around wondering what to do. Watch them all the way through and just get a flavor for what is in them. And then watch them a 2nd time and pay more attention. And then a 3rd time and perhaps take some notes. Go to the range and start with basic motion and when you have mastered that then move to acquired motion and just keep building your swing. Some of this might seem confusing at first but just keep watching and listening . The DVD with the drills is excellent. Makes going to the range fun. These DVDs are GOLD. That's why you even see comments from teaching professionals who are using them for their own games as well as teaching others. I wish these had been available in 1990 when I started playing golf---would have saved me a lot of time and frustration.

I have been trying to find the proper way to answer Just Starting. Now there is no need to. Wonderful job with your answer! 100% agreed.

JS,
You might also like to visit "The Gallery", free videos, and check out the Collin Neeman lesson with Lynn clips.
No matter what your level of proficiency you cannot help but gain from watching those videos.
Just placed my order. Can't wait. Been playing for over 20years with severe leakage, Never on a full shot have I felt true compression. I have hit about 250 basic motion shots this week and can't wait to move forward. I have been there and seen that as far as all the golf instructions out there. I am so hoping TGM brings me nirvana with effortless power and true 3D compression!!!
It's a re-learn for me of not throwing the clubhead at the ball, but throwing my wedges with my pivot through the ball!!
Now to try and erase all those years of getting by on timing and flipping which has lead to some good days but far more bad days.
Are there any coupon codes for Alignment Golf DVDs? Thanks.
