Thanks for posting the video.

 

Now, I can sell my book...only about 35 pages into it.

 

Any takers? b2_tongue.gif

I have read the book but I have only worked on the first two Dynamics, and only a few times at the range. I played today and my ball striking was better than it's ever been. hitting my irons and hybrids longer and straighter than ever before.

 What I do is focus my eyes 4 inches in front of the ball and aim my hands at that point on the down swing, IT WORKS. think of it as aiming the end of the club handle four inches in front of the ball.  DON"T AIM THE CLUB HEAD, Aim your hands, and the club head will follow thru the ball. Man, it really works and I haven't even worked on it that much. I cannot swing my driver this way yet.

It seems almost too good to be true how well I hit the ball using this technique for the first time.

One of the main points of the book is to look 4 inches ahead of the ball. I haven't tried this yet, but it seems like doing this would make my push a lot of shots, especially with my longer irons. 

 

Did any of you guys have a problem with this? Remember ive only read the intro so im not sure if he addresses it later in the book


Focus on a blade of grass or anything you can that's about 4 inches in front of the ball. Aim your hands at this point and forget about the ball, the ball strike will take care of its self.

I have recently had success playing all my balls more forward in my stance, about 2" off of my left heel like Hogan describes in his book. Aiming 4" infront of that would put the swing bottom outside the left foot (for me) which doesn't seem to make too much sense in my mind. So does clampett propose plaing the ball towards the middle of the stance, or can his ideas be applied with the ball more forward?


You're not aiming the club head four inches ahead of the ball, you're aiming your hands four inches in front of the ball.
