I just started reading this book. Right in the first chapter he discusses the mistakes golfers make by grounding their club while addressing the ball. I've always done this except in bunkers but it got me wondering if this is something that I should change. Has anyone stopped grounding their club and experienced better ball striking as a result?

Wonder if the swing the handle concept works on short game problems (ie chipping yips). Seems like it would - thinking yippers concentrate on the clubface and overuse of the smaller muscles. Might be worth picking up the videos. Noticed that the VHS versions on Amazon run for only about $10.
