I need lessons. I am swinging terribly. Dart, please email me: pjordison@yahoo.com.au. I am hoping I can start having regular lessons with you to find out where my swing went…I have searched everywhere but cannot find it…and yes, I have looked behind the lounge :) Please help…I am hoping we can start this week

Umm, in the mean time… 1. Keep your head down. 2. Don’t swing too fast. 3. Don’t swing too slow. 4. Follow through and hold the finish. All sorted.
Reverse every natural instinct you have and do just the opposite of what you are inclined to do and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing. - BEN HOGAN, POWER GOLF |

When I say driver is no problemo, I mean it is the less crap of my clubs…my swing is missing something that I used to have and I have no idea what it is but I seem to be losing more power, direction and confidence with everything other than the Driver…I can still crank one out on the tee :)

No worries live4, I will be in touch tonight. What I am certain of is you have not been paying attention to or did not “get” your imperatives. Plane line for tracing with your right forearm and rolling a flat left wrist down with an evenly loaded lever assembly. Simple but VERY slippery concepts requiring tight discipline.

You are in very capable hands now L4G! :-)
1-L, it is all there my friend. |

Don’t forget to take an apple for the teacher:)

Quick update…I saw Paul today and the man is a genius. He picked my problem without even seeing my swing ‘rolling a flat left wrist down with an evenly loaded lever assembly.’ So I hit a few balls with my laimo weak left wrist and he immediately got me to roll my left wrist through and make sure I kept a FLW going (funnily enough with my laimo wrist I hit 3 balls out of 3 into the net he asked me to aim at…LUCK :)) Paul explained why it is imperative to have a FLW and why it is necessary to roll it and why I was not doing it (basically I tried steering the ball and my brain said ‘no worries, keep doing it cause it doesn’t feel bad’...and as Paul pointed out one-third of the time a shot will go straight, albeit short.) Paul also showed me an easier way to control the direction of the ball flight (roll wrist sooner or later, or just place the ball forward or back rather than trying to control it with open hands or a different swing plane) I now have my power back and the added bonus of some accuracy (I hit the back net at Terrey Hills DR half way up with my 6 iron and launched most of my drives almost through (and some over…sorry :)) the net….heaps of extra power with no extra effort). Paul got me to start thinking about feeling the impact of the ball and registering it as a number out of 10, also to watch what the ball does with all my shots so I know exactly what each shot feels like and the result it will produce…especially the bad shots, 4 second rule I think he said it was. The man is worth his weight in gold…..obviously the changes he has got me doing will not happen overnight but with the drills he left me with and the knowledge he provided I am now feeling uch more confident about my golf….the weekend will be the real test :) I plan to see Paul on a monthly basis….if you get the chance, you should see him, it can only be of benefit. Thanks for finding my mojo for me Paul.

glad that you got back your mojo always great to hear a fairytale end ….

Yeah team. Stick with the ideas even if the doing thereof take a while to sink in. You saw the almost immediate result and felt it. Doing it time after time takes time and effort. Screwing up is fine but never try change to a 3 legged horse when the 4 legs trip. Just learn to ride it better. So here is a question for you. Did the hands on bring the ideas we talk about in here seem a logical extension and clear up misconceptions?

Guru, yes the hands-on certainly made the FLW conversations I have seen on the site make sense. As I said to Paul, I was self-taught and made it down to 3…no idea how I did it but I hit a good ball, which is why I don’t understand much of the TGM talk I see on the site….and I only sought assistance when my swing failed, generally the help I got was good for a short time but never really felt like a long-term fix…I see today as the start of my new venture to a better game.

live4golf, that post up there could have been written by me about me. I’ve gotten down to 2 (1.6) with a game that could have seen me shoot a couple under all the way to 10 or 15 over! What you have said just makes me all the happier to have spent the money to get Guru to stop on his round the world trip! Just 8 weeks to go before I get the TGM hands on experience!
Its better to stay silent and look a fool, than to open your
mouth and remove all doubt |

Ahh another convert. The Dart definitely is a genious!
1-L, it is all there my friend. |

How embarrassing. It is you guys who have the talent. I look quit dumb with ordinary pupils. Guru and I just got lucky with you ISG guys.
|
|
Man! I’m excited for live4golf… it sounds like the light bulb went off… Dart, you need to put some videos together and help spread the joy to the rest of us who struggle mightily to get the FLW and pure power with much effort, I certainly struggle with it. TW,

cant said it better and Styles too…. toget down to almost scratch on your own shows talent in you guys too …...

That should have read with “little effort”... I was thinking about my golf swing when I wrote “much effort”... TW,

Maybe I should start my own ‘Live4Golf journey to Scratch’ :) The funny thing about it is the changes Paul showed me do not ‘feel wrong’...the couple of times I have seen someone about my swing the changes they made for me felt awkward, but they added the caveat of ‘it will feel weird for a while because you have been doing X wrong for such a long time…and those changes didn’t last too long, more of a bandaid solution….but the FLW and rotation through impact just feels soooo right.

Gotchya…..I am excited too….I am home sick today, trying to get my chest clear before going to Tokyo but I might go to the range for an hour to groove the change. I am really looking forward to playing :) I do feel like a goose for reading all the FLW stuff on this site and not getting it until Paul showed me.
