Thanks to you and Brian for putting that together Mike. You two never cease to amaze me at the amount of quality and free information you put out. You really deserve to be the best.
I'm glad my local range installed heaters for this winter. I will be working hard and look forward to bringing my new swing to the lesson tee come spring.

Mike,
When you have a chance? What is jacknifing the club?
Mike,
Very nice wrap up, I liked how you both answered the questions and fed off each other. Nice description and visual on the lead arm replacement, that was great.
Just watched your swing tips to forget video as well as Brian's ideas of the release again today (snow on the ground!) and it really helps piece everything together.
Thanks again,

I agree that when you watch Brian's Video "Ideas" and Mike's "Swing Tips to Forget" and the Video aftermath all the information really comes together and simplifies what can happen to the club and the body for a consistent line up.
Steve,
Have you worked on any of this with your game or a students game?

Matt,
Great question, I have been formulating all of these ideas and slowly implementing them into my game, although it was pretty late in the year that I started. The last couple of lessons I had near the end of the year I was able to utilize some ideas or concepts too, but again, that was late in the year without my full comprehension and without the aid of follow up. I have some plans to really test it likely in the near future.
How about you? Same deal as me with the end of your golf season or were you able to have some success stories?
I hope to share my case studies as I can going forward. I'm now going through the ASII videos and finding that is also helping with the whole picture. (and then there is Michael's book...)
Hope the winter is treating you well.

I have not had any time to really incorporate any of the ideas into my game yet but I have had some good results with students in lessons. Like Mike has said it is amazing how easy it is for average golfers to change their motions so quickly. I think a key for me will be to come up my own ways to introduce the concepts to my students.

Excellent aftermath show. It cleared up some lingering questions I had.
Good demonstration of the forces.
Thanks
Ed
