Felt like I was really able to keep the hands and wrists from breaking down more. I know Mark Evershed who worked with Tomasello advocates a firm grip, but I believe that may be from the relationship he had with Moe Norman and a belief in the non deviating club face or something like that. Thoughts?? I would consider myself a 9 on a scale from 1 to 10 as far as grip pressure. I'm preparing the pressure points to be applied, #1 most importantly. When I think of pushing against something, anything really, I would not imagine that I had a live bird between me and the object. That old Snead comment has most certainly ruined many pressure points. __________________ Yoda knows...and he taught me! For those less fortunate, Swinging is an option.
