Lag, lightbulb moments and videotape

Module #2 student on his way…

I averaged between 90 and 105, I shot an 87 Friday with persimmons and my MP-67s flattened 5 degrees.

Mod 7 soon Graduate:

nearly 1 year on mod 7 now…spent a lot of time on 6 and 7 as they were so hard for me to incorporate
Had my best ball contact round ever last week. Really starting to flush them! =D …and the flight is just amazing!

That is quite the transformation. Club shaft already looks very close to on plane and no goat humping. Get him going on post-pivot acceleration and that flip will be long gone.

This shot was my dynapower 4 iron and was a high fade to about 10 feet.

Module #3 student:

Yesterday I focused exclusively on getting my shoulders, hips, and legs on 4:30. I did this by withdrawing the hip and feeling like my weight was pushed down into the heel of my back foot (from your Knudson book breakdown).

Today I combined the 2 and Voila! I think it was Brady on the ABS forum that mentioned that there’s a 4:30 line post impact too, and that gave me the imagery I needed, really good stuff.

After re-reading your Knudson book thread, his talk of finishing straight up and down really clicked now because of what he was intending for- you can’t get there if you have steep shoulders/pivot stall and if you’re not trying to feel OTT post impact.

The ball was screaming off my old Persimmon. You were certainly right about Module 3 making me understand just how level my shoulders had to be.

Without any doubt, the most important concept for me is ‘the holy grail’ concept of sustaining lagpressure by continually accelerating through to e cig PV5. Its the sensation that gives you that incredible shot that you see the pros hit, right where you aimed, knocking the stick out. In truth, I probably feel that sensation only twice or three times in every round but its becoming more consistent and an interesting thing is once I find that shot, it sets the key for the rest of the round and I usually play to around level par from there on in even if I don’t have that sensation with every subsequent shot.

Its almost like you don’t have to get it perfect, the intention and approximation gives you a good result anyway.

What is PV5. I have no idea about this things. I have small knowledge about this things. I hope you will discuss about it in your reply.

Pv5 is our finish position with the club shaft vertical and perpendicular to the ground. In Module 3 we learn to bring our club from the P4 position (club shaft parallel after the ball) to the high finish with a strong pivot.

I was out playing with two of my sons and we had a closest to the pin contest from 100 out. First son hit it to about 10 feet, 2nd son lipped out and went right about 5 feet, I hit the green, two bounced it right into the cup! First time I’ve ever got jumping high fives from my boys on the course.

Played our little home course Par 3 aptly named the little monster. Longest hole is 155. Small greens and no forgiveness if you miss them. My average 9 score there is 8-10 over. Yesterday I was even through 7 with 4 lipouts and 2 that died an inch from the hole. I hit 6-7 greens. On 8 I thinned the shot and went long. On 9, I simply misjudged the distance and went long. Both times I had to chip back up and over to a runaway pin location. Putts were too long to convert so ended up 2 over. I felt for the first time like I was playing real golf. It was a new experience for me. The thinned shot was my only bad contact shot and it was still serviceable. Thanks for all you do and for opening up aspects of the game that I couldn’t reach before.

Module #2 Graduate

I am just thrilled with how much more solidly and consistently I am hitting the ball. I am becoming a much much better player and I can’t tell you how excited I am to continue my progress. I have to thank you for really changing my whole approach to the golf swing. I also owe thanks to Bradley Hughes because his videos have also shed some light and reinforce what I have been working on in M1 & M2. My ball striking is definitely better than it ever has been

Today I played in a charity tournament . Apparently the rumor with the big wigs at work was that there was an intern who could really play. Well…I lived up to the rumors carding birdies on 4 of the first 5 holes. Including a kick in birdie on the long par 5 second where I layed up to 115 and then stuck it on the stick.

The back included a birdie on a long par 5 where i smashed a 2 wood to the back left pin from 220 out to have a shot at eagle.

My putting was superb, I told you I’ve been chip rolling and 4 birdies in 5 holes is the hottest i’ve ever been in my life. I can’t wait to see whats going to happen once I train Mod 3 intentions.

Thanks so much! I would have never gotten where I am without your help!

First time we’ve won the league in 25 years.

Congrats! Great to see!
