When I read that “other thread” I like to think that it is a little hyperbole

I prefer “Ranting of Madman” but I suppose that works too...When I read that “other thread” I like to think that it is a little hyperbole
4. I'm not happy about that. Of course, they were all my newer ones.
That’s some expensive BP! lol
I like that drill. I have been doing it without the body, body just braces. I’ll add the lower body while keeping the shoulders closed and just TTB behind the lowerbody.
" The hands control the swing. Not the body. "
I like a lot you have to say about the swing (anchored back foot specially)
But I would be more on the side that says the body controls the hands. I like the hands (top) to be loose. The hands to be thrown off the body feel.
You probably like Mike Bender's golf instruction. It kinda where the hands go the body will follow. That cue may or may not work with a seasoned athlete but with skinny 12 year old girls I think the swing will get armsy.

Here's the tape measure distance on the first hit. I didn't see it land, but the only thing in that area that makes sense for the noise it made was the wood fence across the street from the park.
The two that were close to the light pole definitely hit the street, and probably ended up somewhere down Canyon Crest Dr - LOL. Google maps measurement might not be exactly precise, but we've verified the distance to the light pole with a metal tape measure, and Google's distance matches.

If you don’t swing w your hands, what do you swing with? Think about that one for a sec..
