I discovered this on the Range today my only thought was have my belly follow the clubhead at the same speed I can't believe how it improved my accuracy with all clubs I guess it is just about getting the club head square at impact any thoughts

I recently had a similar "realization" except, in my variation, it came alongside the thought of keeping my head still.  I was totally moving my head back in the first part of my take-away without even realizing it.

Now, on video, I can see that my head moves drastically less . .and it feels like my belly/midsection/torso/what-have-you, follows the clubhead. 

My take-away, at least the first part, now feels like a weird "belly stretch" - if that makes any sense, lol.  I feel my hips staying where they are and my head staying where it is . .and my belly turning to stay in-line with the clubface.  This feeling lasts until I start to lift my arms in the backswing.

Then, in the downswing and follow through - the club feels like it stays connected with my belly - even pushing ahead of it . .and definitely not getting behind my belly-button anymore. 

As long as I can keep my wrists loose at the same time - this is smash-city - the best I've ever hit it . .by a big margin.

Sounds similar, I have never heard any one with this swing thought just hope it's not a one time fluke.It makes sense though if your belly button follows your club head all the way back and through with arms connected to body you can't get ahead or behind with your swing , if  that make sense , don't have to think of anything else it just happens naturally perfect rythem  and a nice draw I also visualize the swing path and try to keep club head on that path

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
