P stands for positions. A stands for alignments. We prefer alignments. a3_biggrin.gif

Really well, thanks. I think others have commented in the relevant thread about how they enjoyed them.

Dave and I are fairly certain at this point that we'll know the DVD is out when we see a review by someone online. :)

 

We've been hearing "a week from now" for awhile now.

 

Soon.

 

P.S. For golfers who do a lot of reading, I suspect there won't be a lot of new information at all in either set of DVDs. We have to remember, though, that we're about 1% of the golf population. Medicus sold well over a million of those hinged clubs, but when's the last time you've seen one? How many have you ever seen? There are a LOT of golfers out there.

It is still good to see it as a refresher though.  Sometimes the visual image of an explanation helps more that prose when you are struggling at the range or on the course.

 

When will Medicus come out with hinged putters?

I have a lot of trouble with swaying. I believe it occurs on the backswing. How much of your weight are focusing on the lead foot. I am old (54) but willing to learn a few new tricks. I want to get back down to a 3 or 4 again. I still hit the ball a decent distance, but the sway kills me for a few holes every round. Are there any S&T guys in Southeast Texas that you know of?

We'll have some 5SK guys in Texas here shortly.

 

I can't tell you how much weight you need to feel on the lead foot, but at the top of the backswing, most good players have about 35% of their PRESSURE forward and about 50% of their weight (give or take 5% for both). Centered shoulder turns = weight distribution staying the same, while pressure changes slightly.

 

Send me a PM if you want. I know some good guys in Texas.

Here's a little article we wrote. It's the cover story in this week's Golf Tips Magazine.

http://www.golftipsmag.com/instruction/full-swing/lessons/5-keys.html

It's not perfect (a few images are wrong, for example the one in Key #5 shows the same image for the last two) but it's still good overall.

Any updates on when the instructors are going to be announced? I could definitely use some hands-on help, I'm feeling exceptionally dense at the moment :)

Very good article, very clear and concise. Shame about the odd wrong image.

 

On page 2, is that half an alignment stick Chuck is using to demonstrate Key #3?

I like your description at the start of this thread better.  Are you going to be involved with Medicus?

"Take a training stick and put it in the grip of your club so that a foot or so sticks out." Though it appears Chuck may have just held onto it it beside the grip in the picture.

I didn't have space constraints or need to work with pre-existing images when I wrote the first post like I did when I wrote the Golf Tips article. :)
