Other than the putt I employed the down-and-out and thought I'd changed my game forever. (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.
