Greg Willis, "You are the man!"
I'm not big on lengthy posts, so this will
be as brief as I can make it.
Folks in this forum are sold on hybrids, so
I figured it was high time I got on the bandwagon.
So I went through the pro's r-shaft Cobras with
so-so results, but assured him I could work out
the bugs. Then one of my friends volunteered his
kid's G-2 with the S-85 low kick shaft -- too weak
for the boy but a viable senior option for me.
While this is all going on, I revisited Greg Willis's
right hand drill video, for about the sixth time.
This time, the penny, as they say, dropped.
Now, I had puzzled at Tiger's right hand at the
top, laid wide open as it is, and vowed to look
into this. On that sixth viewing of Greg's video
lesson, the scales lifted. It all made sense.
Now, I am no stranger to the release, but I had
gotten so fixed on the bowed left hand that I had
all but forgotten all about the right. Truthfully, I had
no clue. Until, that is, good ol' Greg came along
and made it all clear.
So, I go to my practice area, yank a couple of
nine irons into the cars, and commenced to work
it out. By the time I had gotten to the hybrid,
I was hitting the purest shots I had ever hit, just
like the ad said, uncanny accuracy.
My first outing was nine casual holes and the results
were promising. I called my friend and said, "Let's
talk." Today, I played nine with my usual opponents
and it came together through the whole bag. I bogied
one, bogied three, and shot 35, for a net +6 ways
on the nine, paying for about half the Ping. Greg
Willis, "You are the man!"
I can't imagine how I even managed to hit the ball
before this. It must have looked like a contortionist.
Believe me, I am not pitching a cure all. My belief is
that if I don't get the straight left arm to at least
4:30 on the clock, there is no way in hell I'm going
to keep it inside. But if there is a magic pill, Greg
Willis has figured out where it is.
In repayment, here's a blood player's secret for you
all, take it or leave it: if you find yourself falling
behind in chipping and putting, try my slo mo technique:
chipping and putting, the entire swing shifts to half
speed, eyes glued to the ball until impact. I mean
literally become a slow motion picture. (Obviously,
not while you are walking around looking things over
or they'll think you've lost it) Play like this for
two or three holes (you'll probably have to lengthen
your backswing in both chip and putt) or however long
it takes to get your game back. This technique will
bail you out every time, guaranteed.
