Great instructor. Articulate and easy to understand.

Since my last post I have after lots of experimentation solved the problem of hitting shots from 100 yds. I keep the ball left of center. On backswing I break wrist completely (as much as possible) even beyond 90 degress. The ball goes high and lands softly. I have yet to miss a shot after adopting this swing. Please try and give me some feedback.

Yeah !

I looked some videos of you. You're videos helped me in two cases : First i learn to understand english(i'm from Germany) Second i helped me on the "golf-side".

I'm 13 and my handicap is 7. That's okay :) I hope that i can go in the 11th class to America to play on so nice courses like you.

Thank's

Hi Christopher,

Great video.Maybe I misunderstood so I watched your video over and over, and there is a small amount of body movement and therefore weight shift away, plus your spine angle is leaning slightly away from the target. I tried this, and it worked, my shoulder turn was much better and I felt freer, plus hit some much better soft pitches. So why do you say there is no weigt shift when I believe your video shows there is, even if it it is very slight?

Regards

James

Great info for all players! Improve the pitch-improve the full swing on the money. Nice work.
