Do yourself a favor, Planetracer. Save this response. Make several copies. Put each in a seperate plastic sheet and in your golfbag. Go to the range and do as he says. Write him a pm from time to time. HE KNOWS WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW.
Planetracer, Teddybear is right. Life is about choices.

NEW HAMPSHIRE- "Live Free or Die"

In a more free culture, you can choose to waste your time and talent as you wish, or you can learn correct ways to tie your shoe, hit a golf ball, do open heart surgery or clean up an oil spill. Freedom is a brutally tough concept that some of my Jewish ancestors could not accept after slavery, and some people can never accept because it is the hardest and greatest gift in the world. Freedom requires maturity and self control, humor, patience, humility and kindness. Freedom requires interdependence which is trusting both yourself and others. Freedom transcends bumper sticker wisdom while appreciating the necessity of the odd almost meaningless phrase to express an emotion that has to be expressed for a person to feel better.
We are all free to learn or not learn. Welcome to our forums and your new adventure, here.

The phrase comes from a toast written by General John Stark on July 31, 1809. Poor health forced Stark, New Hampshire's most famous soldier of the American Revolutionary War, to decline an invitation to an anniversary reunion of the Battle of Bennington. (Gen. Stark was also at Bunker Hill) Instead, he sent his toast by letter:
Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils.
Hope, as a teacher, you have intellect in other than history.
Have a good day. ("odd almost meaningless phrase to express an emotion that has to be expressed for a person to feel better")

You missed the point but, ok, thanks! Your quote is correct and my disagreement is with the correctly expressed quote being used in a golf forum to mislead a person looking for golfing insight. Otherwise, as my six family members who have served in American armed forces will tell you, I am generally a fan of the military killing evil people and breaking their expensive toys.

thank you. that is a very detailed explanation. i will copy post and start work on it immediately. i have alignment dvd,and it is great
i think i currently use EA but i need to work on PP#3, i have trouble sensing #3 and if i focus on that while playing things dont tend to work out.
for now my feel for EA is right tricep contraction starts my hands away and keeps the right forearm tracing my straight base line.
this is how i get to the top. i am a swinger so from the top my pivot throws the right shoulder down plane,and if i keep a STEADY head pow there goes another one.
i started with the book 7th edition and the dvd, oh yeah and this website witch is a great resource and my scores have gone down. so again thanks for the help.
Daryl,
Wholehearted thanks to you for the illustrative description of EA. I really needed that. I am now looking at other threads for additional information, though I don't know why since yours was probably more than I could ever ask for.
I will be off to the back yard to work on it shortly. I have to prep for City's visit in August. I hope to lighten his wallet a bit.
I have just started doing the right forearm takeaway. I was searching how to do this AND get extensor action...I felt narrow with zero EA today. The idea of resisting with the left shoulder is like a light bulb turning on above my head. It is a foreign thought though...I have been thinking "left shoulder down and back" to start the swing for years...and it naturally was following my right elbow back with RFT attempts.

Thank you, I'll resist with L shoulder now.
And I didn't understand RFT or Hitting!
Sorry Daryl and HB!
