Sevam,  I have a question about the stance that you have. I know that the left leg is flared out but are your heels parallel to one another or is your left heel open to the target line? Thanks for all of your videos.

[sevam1]

All things being equal the more I flare the lead foot the more closed the alignement through the heels is relative to the target line but it depends on the type of shot also.

Mike I have to say im confused on what starts the downswing. I've bought the book as well. It would be great if you could help me with what starts the downswing. Thx :D

[sevam1]

Just move the navel towards the target.

Hey Farsigh,

You need to let the pivot dictate the whole swing. It's the opposite of what most golf teachers show you. The pivot starts and ends the swing, no need to think about hand positions, you wont have time. The angles of the arms are naturally created by the motion of the pivot. Work on your pivot motion back and through and just hold on to a club, sounds weird but it works.

Cheers!

Sevam1, do you have a video on the pane of glass from 5 lessons? The plane seems to be a very prevalent part in hogans teaching does that have anything to do with the move? anything on that would be very nice because I am completely confused about it! Thanks for the great videos!!!!!!!!

Great vids. BTW...Do you like Rush???

I just hit a few shots in my living room with plastic balls using the preset pivot point tip and I hit them dead at my target! I haven't done that in a while! There may be something to these tips.

This guy is awesome, judging by his voice he might be a Canadian as well which is double awesome.

Hi Mike! Don't think you will ever see this... but thanks a million! I've been obsessed by golf for a couple of years, and you made me realize how much, which is almost not at all, I've been using my lower body.

Somehow, I've been able to play well with an all upper body move, with hip rotation, but with no weight transfert.

With this tip, I felt for the first time ever what a real pivot feels like. I was pure joy, I've hit the best shots of my life, in ONE practice. It's only a start. THANKS
