Hi Shawn, Hope everything is well, I haven't heard from you for a while, When i am at address, my club face is slighltly closed like a small y instead of a capital Y. When I was demoing some clubs the fitter told me that I should have at at capital Y, is there a reason for that, I haven't practiced it yet with any shots, still waiting for my MB blades that you inspired me to try. The 6 iron that I tried was fantastic by the way, I hope that the 712 isn't much different. Thanks John

@gojipoj Hey John!

When you let the arm-club unit hang from the shoulders which are slightly tilted because of the right hand lower than the left, you will get a natural lower case "y" at address; the key here is to FEEL THE WEIGHT OF THE ACU!

When you PLACE THE HANDS AND MANIPULATE THEM AT ADDRESS, then you deny yourself the ability to react to this weight and the whole swing will feel out of sync; See "over swing and fast back swing; shawn clement" video

I can't tell you what a GREAT video this is! Since you are in the process of re-recording some oldies but goodies, I nominate this one. My tuba teacher, Arnold Jacobs, taught us to take a big breath by sucking the air in past the lips and the subconscious would control the body. Focusing on expanding the rib cage, etc., might not move any air. If I am aware of the feelings in my hands, as you describe, the subconscious will control the body in order to create those feelings, such as lag.

Hi Shawn

This video helped me get rid of the rubbing on the heel pad, thanks!

But... my left index finger is rubbing a lot on my right ring finger (I'm a righty and have a semi overlap grip). The side of the nuckle of the left index and the right side of the right ring finger (right side above the nail - below first joint) are getting painful blisters... I'm having to use tape, but probably not normal, right? Any suggestions? - Chris

Hey Chris!

The key here is to feel that the fingers are properly wrapped around the grip like portable ligaments; air tight and vacuum sealed! Then when you perform the perpetual motion, there should be 0 play in the hands with no movement or rubbing at all!  Shawn

Did you stop lifting your right heel up on the backswing sometime after this video? Your lessons have helped me alot thanks Shawn.
