I was once where you are now and I'll be honest and tell you that if we could measure "Will Power" alone, that yours would be equivalent to a professional scoring 10 under par in a PGA Tournament.
Thanks Daryl. Knowing how helps the will be willing that much more.

Compare and contrast. My finish was more like Ted's. Ted has reminded me to be sure to follow the correct sequence of 10-2-B

When I Pivot as a 4 Barrel Hitter, I'm using the Right Shoulder to Drag and the Right Arm to Drive. The Release is still delayed for maximum distance. The Simultaneous Release of #2 and #3 of the Hitter, through the straightening of the Right Arm (#1), does not start from the Top. If that's successful, you have a Full Sweep and little power. Even Hitters are sequenced in the proper acceleration of the club...4, (1,2,3).
Personally, when I feel a space between the Pivot and the straightening of the Right Arm, I nuke it. And, Luke likes the nuke.

Yesterday, the entire golf course was standing water. It was very hard to stay down on every shot and take a face full of mud even with lift clean and place being in effect. Early in the round, I started dragging my putts left. Lynn was very good to instruct me about pushing my right shoulder back from my target line.
After 9 holes, I gave up Hitting and and my slight, very slight Impact Fix alignments. I started a different Swinging set-up with a Level Left Wrist and a softer Right Arm on Plane. The ball started to jump again and my putts straightened out.
My understanding of the Slightly Closed Shoulders, and of Moe Norman's much more Pre-Set On- Plane Shoulder, is that an On- Plane Shoulder, or the On-Plane Right Shoulder or Back Shoulder of a golfer is an elegant and beautiful thing.
Pivot moves the back shoulder Up -Plane which is always good, and the Pivot moves the On-Plane, Up-Plane Back Shoulder, Down, Out, and Forward which is beautiful on Balance.
The Hips move in a straight line back and forward. I thought my Feet moved my Hips but Lynn said no, the Feet and Knees stabilize the Head and Tripod. So, if the Shoulders need to be closed to the Target Line, the Hips or rather the Back Hip must be set back from the Target Line!
Moe Norman was a genius! In his very simple way he created a series of Alignments that would allow him to always be "same as the last, same as the last." Right Hip was set back and the Back Shoulder was Up-Plane. The Base Line of the Plane was Traced by an On-Plane Right Forearm. He said he simply rotated his knees back and through which is really an easy mistake to make without a bio-mechanical chart. Moe did not allow himself to do a full Finish Swivel it seems, robbing him of some power. He seemed to delay the Finish Swivel for a very long time. I'm not saying I would recommend that adaptation. Moe was different that way. But he used his Hip! Right Hip fully back and the then fully through. Stable Head and Balance. BOOM.
Homer Kelly was a genius. Lynn Blake is a genius who can help others become brilliant at golf and teach others to be become brilliant, too.

Extensor Action is crucial. Listen to Lynn's check list before every shot. " Quiet knees, Quiet Feet, Plane Line, Right Forearm On- Plane, Extensor Action. Grip, Stance, Planeline."

Check out the Extensor Action in the muscles of the right arm of Pro Wayne Watts guaranteeing the Tracing of the Base line of the Plane.

HIP BACK=SHOULDER BACK AND EASILY STARTED UP-PLANE!
HULA LEFT=THE SAME THING!
BELT BUCKLE 1" RIGHT OF CENTER=SAME THING
RF ON-PLANE, CORRECT GRIP, MID-BODY HANDS, OPEN FACE, EA, BELT BUCKLE PRESET, LAG BACK,HEEL FEELS UP, BELT BUCKLE THROUGH AROUND A STATIONARY HEAD TO ARROW (FINISH SWIVEL).

Right hip back is brilliant!!!! Simple RFT and lighter EA Pivot pushes back the Hip even more! Plant and drive elbow and shoulder Down Plane. Hand Path slides down the Angle of Attack to wind up at Impact Fix or ahead of Adjusted Address with Attitude.
Right Arm gets much deeper. Elbow in works on Swing also!

I stumbled upon the "clapping hands" yesterday trying to correct several mistakes.

When Homer named it Pitch elbow that is what he was referring to. Elbow leads.
Pivot, Elbow leads, now I know how and why. Thanks guys!

You guys who have not studied with Lynn or anyone he's trained will not believe me but since studying with Lynn I have increased my speed and power by almost 30% !
How, you might ask?
Well, when I first met Lynn, my Left Hand Grip was wrong as was my Set-up so there was no Power Accumulator # 3 in any of my swings.There was no Balance and no Stationary Head. An honestly, though I thought I was aware of my PP#3, I could not use it on purpose.
I had shot a 79 and 78 last year in the dead of summer. I had achieved that and a 10.1 HCP on hard fairways and a well-timed block with a firm left wrist, hybrids, very soft, senior shafts and simple grit.
Until meeting Lynn and seeing the mad skills he has and that he teaches, I would not be able to shoot a competitive round in a tournament. BTW, an "80" is not a competitive score.
One of the things Lynn picked up on my first day with him was my right thumb bracing on the shaft. I didn't realize how important an observation that was until the other day. The Golfing Machine is about letting your machine work as effectively as it was designed.
My right thumb should be laying off the grip so my right "v" points to my back shoulder as does my left "v." Lynn showed me a lot of stuff and it takes me awhile to really learn things. Lynn showed me a drill to grip my club with a fist with no thumb and experience the Free Swivel of the wrists of both hands. By taking the right thumb off, the club settles snugly, very snugly, into PP # 3 allowing the golfer to "catch"the Lag as the club is dragged back with the Hip or RFT'd and "Sustain" the Lag as the Swing Drags or the Hit Drives PP # 3.
With the back hip back, the back shoulder is on Plane with a Balanced Pivot and Stationary Head. A Swing will Throw those Wrists and PP # 3 like a "Wrecking Ball" (as Lynn has said elsewhere) into the golf ball. A Hit will allow the back Elbow and PP # 3 to turn the ball to frozen custard as it speeds away!
My drives were 210 or 220 yards with roll before meeting Lynn. With roll, they are now 260 ish!
Thanks Lynn!
