My problems were a bit more complex and more deeply rooted from years of poor technique. However the faults and fixes were clearly and simply shown to me and I understood what I was doing wrong and how to fix them. It took a bit longer with me than my son but soon I too was hitting solid relatively straight shots. (A very good feeling)
Retraining my old body to permanently alter my faulty pattern may take a little longer but I am optimistic. Nothing he asked me to do was difficult nor something I could not do but it will take some dedication on my part to retrain myself. I've had several lessons and been to a couple clinics. None were as helpful as the time I spend with Mike.
All in all a long drive but worth every minute.

Steve,
I thoroughly enjoyed working with yourself and your son. The upgrades we made in your full swings will take shape within the next month. You have to keep re-watching the lesson dvd and focus only on what we discussed and not waiver. I would have liked to spend more of the 3 hours on the shorter shots as it proved to be the one area where their were difficulties.
I hope you enjoyed your time with me and I would like to thank you once again for the visit. keep me posted on your progress
