"THIS TIP WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE" on Tilt (on YouTube) and the Keep Your Arms straight because your right arm will fold automatically (YouTube)-- on the first aforementioned video, Tom said that his hands and arms are dead. I was struggling with the 2.8 videos over 18 holes yesterday because my arms were tense. But when my hands and arms are dead on both the back swing and down swing and I begin with the hip contact is crispy and shots much farther. Plus, I can do the flying wedge!

This could be the tip I needed to continue my journey with 2.8. I've seen marginal improvements but it's fleeting and frustrating. I know full well that it will take time but as humans we are impatient and want instant results - sadly, that ain't gonna happen with years of swinging the golf club poorly and incorrectly. When I read through this something struck me - I'm still relying on my arms and hands and NOT letting my shoulders/torso/hips to do the work. Unless I read something wrong (in this and one other related post) then I know what I need to do and that involves exercising this: "Hands and Arms must be dead" I didn't quite get it when I first stumbled on this post but after reading through it and finding the related link on YouTube "THIS GOLF TIP WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE! (The Secret to The Golf Swing)" it all started to click and I think I'm finally getting it. I'm going to put this into practice later today on my practice mat/net and see how it turns out for me...it's going to feel foreign, this I know but it must be done. I hope to be reporting back in a day or two with some positive feedback. :)
