Just understand that they are caused by the same thing: the low point is behind where it should be. When you get sick of fatting it, you'll pull your elbows apart or do other things to avoid fatting it, and then you'll thin it.

Work on Keys #1, #2, and #3. Without seeing your swing, I can't say which is important, but self diagnose and go from there. if your head is relatively stable, look at #2. That's the likely culprit.

??? I hope you forgot the n't Erik.

I'm gonna guess #2 (beside meaning poop) is weight forward.

OP, there was a decent thread on chunking/thinning a week or two ago - use the search function and you should find some good replies.

i dont think he forgot.  hes saying that the low point of this dudes swing is behind where it should be.  that makes sense.  he needs to get the low point farther forward.

Yes, this.

The low point is back of where it should be. It's too far back. It's not forward enough. :)

The low point is behind where it should be, where it shouldn't be.

OMG my brain just exploded, but I think I understand. It's all about parsing...

    • I agree with @dennyjones, a suspension of some meaningful duration would be better than getting bounced from the Tour. They might consider experimenting each week. It might generate a bit of interest. I like the idea of a visible shot clock. If a player and their caddy can’t decide on a strategy and pull the trigger in XX seconds (30? 45? 60?), one stroke penalty. Give each player 2 resets a round. The clock starts when the last player to hit’s ball stops moving. Other pace ideas could be used every couple events until a consensus is reached to adopt or ditch an idea.
