Air,
Kev's correct. COMPRESSION!! It is a feeling that probably should be illegal. Rarely did I ever experience it before and now I experience it frequently. I think that is what Basic Motion will ultimately bring.
Dodger is correct about DOWN. After about 50+ years of lifting the ball, or some variance of, I now try to strike down on every shot including putts, just so I do not lose the concept.
I have increased my pw from about 100 yds on a good day to 115. I've been air mailing greens everywhere, but my direction is very good. I love chipping back to the hole. I don't even care if I go out of bounds yet as long as I get compression. I am sure scoring will come.
If it helps at all, I am trying to think of the ball as a clock. The very top of the ball is 12:00 and I try to strike it at 2:00. Baby, that is down. It works great so far. It just took me a long time to get there. I have a long way to go.
