This article contains what I work on. The principles are what every PGA pro should be teaching.

I believe it should further emphasize that the best way to ingrain new motions and positions is in stopped poses and slow motion rehearsals, just as we learn to dance or play a musical instrument.

The WORST way to learn anything new is in full speed repetition. For most of us, that simply doesn't work, it just further ingrains our mistakes.

And thus is automatically "one of the best"...

...and will remain so right up until you start trying a new thing.

The best way to kill any thread is to see that Alan Baker was the last poster. I'm out.

Good. You never contribute anything about the game of golf or learning
it other than:

"Look at me! I'm cleverer than all of you! I used to claim it was
because I was better at the actual game of golf, but it became obvious
to even me that my bullshit was too easily recognized, so now I'll
tell you I'm better not because I can actually play the game well, but
because I'm more diligent at improving my game. This despite the fact
that I've claimed for more than a decade that I can hit 'all the
fairways'".

And I continue to work on this. I work with a PT every few days to increase my flexibility and core strength, especially for the golf swing. SO now I can separate my hips from my shoulders and maintain my posture through the swing. With this new capability, my teaching pro can help me make a more advanced golf swing, to do what the pros do. And of course, the more we use something like hip separation, the easier it gets.

Here is my swing today. Notice the better separation, the better squat, the spine angle and later release. This old dude will be driving it long and far down the middle and then nailing the green from there. You could do it too, all it takes is hard work and persistence.

Hmmm...

You talk about DOING something with your hands...

"and make a better release by supinating my right wrist"

...something you've spent years telling us was absolutely, 100% wrong.

You've also abandoned the whole "take it up vertically then lay it off,
because that's the way all the good young pros swing", too.

Strange.

And according to what golf teaching should you "throw your left knee
across early" at all?

And most importantly:

You've told us all for a decade or more that "I'm hitting all the
fairways and most of the greens"...

...so how is it that this latest thing is going to finally let you reach
that goal ("will be")?

I'll let others decide for themselves based on the facts whether you're
really here to talk about what works, or simply to puff yourself up by
claiming you're achieving things that we plebes aren't.

Good. Let us decide. Meanwhile, be a man and live up to your word.
Specifically, fulfill the promise you made to the group last October
when you stated that you would not interact with Larry anymore.

Alan, NOBODY HERE gives a crap about you or me or anyone else. This is a nearly anonymous golf discussion group. We discuss the OBJECTIVE principles regarding the golf swing and other subjects. It is NOT and never was about any of us, especially you.

So your continued stalking and personal harassment is especially out of place here and everywhere you post. Don't you notice that essentially nobody in any forum in any thread EVER replies to your posts? HINT! You have made yourself a pariah. And now you can enjoy that status. You did it to yourself.

No, Larry:

You DO NOT discuss the objective facts.

You can keep imagining whatever you need to let you get by, Larry.

You are so fucked up you're forced to respond to anything. It must
suck to be a loser like you suffering from masochistic narcissism.
