Peter,

Since the last time you helped me (Uh oh, Ed's thinkin' again...), I have worked on releasing the club a lot and I think, for the most part, I'm doing it much better now.

Your most recent comments have me thinkin' again... (everytime I do that it weakens the nation)

Problem 1:

Now that I think about it, when I hit the pitiful low flying, short slice it is usually when I'm really trying to relax. Do you think I might be so relaxed that I'm not extending the right arm quick enough, causing the club face to be open at impact?

Problem 2:

And I think when I hit the ground before the ball it is usually when I'm trying to kill it. So maybe in my effort to be aggressive I'm extending my right arm too quickly?

What do you think?

Thanks,
Phys Ed
