(This was only the third time I've birdied this particular hole. It is not easy. And starting the round with a birdie is alwas great.

So. Did I go on to birdie every hole?

Nope.

Not even a PB

But I definietely saw benefit.

One of my issues have been excess lateral movement on the downswing. Employing the down-and-out virtually eliminated it. Worked great as a key for me.

Thanks for sharing, Lee!
Thanks again Lee, Yoda, Bagger

Metallion,

I concur with the 300 yard drive...with this swing the trajectory is sweet when you hit one 300 yards. Just give it 3 to 6 months of practice and play and the consistency will go up nicely. One of the benefits of this swinging motion is the compatability with the hitting stroke pattern....just a few component changes and bammmmm you got another set of distances with your clubs.
