) that could play their ball but lacked a degree of consistency. I knew a fella that played 15 events in a row where he shot in 60's 3 out of every 4 rounds but threw a 75-78 in there somewhere. The nuances of superior ball striking reside in the left wrist. Or does someone think that perhaps plane, or a driven sweetspot is hardest to come by?
I have had the hardest time learning how to fan my right forearm, as well as keep my head centered and stationary. In the process of hitting thousands of balls in practice I noticed that these two desirables are initricably intertwined. I (perhaps more gifted players can) cannot fan my right forearm correctly unless my head is centered and stationary. Can someone articulate this "phenomenon" for me in a more sophisticated manner? The end result is a motion that never goes beyond top, with considerable extensor action etc. It has taken me 18 months to gain appreciable control over the shaft/sweetspot and the head. I guess clubface/ball control is the last to succumb to the wiles of TGM! Is it accurate to state that good players, even players say on mini-tours etc have good plane and clubhead control but what seperates the men from the boys is clubface control? I have played with dozens of "asspros" (aspiring professionals ) that could play their ball but lacked a degree of consistency.

I still think the clubface is the last bastion to fall. There can be no hope of controlling the face, unless the clubhead is lagging on plane, right? I am starting to have the sense that my left wrist is isolated and independent, kinda like an individual hinge
My chief challenge right now is learning to trust my structure and NOT overload it. By the way the key for me not doing just that is a centered and stationary head...it seems to be the overload sensor. Mr. Kelley's practical check for swaying (if your view of the ball changes) is mind jarringly simple. I know understand overload as being synonymous with imbalance (seems like Edz may have said as much a few times!) I alway took playing within yourself as almost a negative directive i.e. don't swing so hard! I once listened to Freddie Couple talk about what he thinks about out on the course. He ummed and aahed and eventually said something like "I just try to stay in balance out there." I remember yelling at the TV "Gee, thanks for that pearl, Freddie!" Well, I now get what balance IS. Retard. So, a buddy recently asked while out playing "What is you swing thought for the day?" I ummed and I aahed and replied "Just trying to maintain perfect balance!"
