Some feelings that I have gotten working with the AXIOM method over the past few weeks: 1) I tend to drift into pushing off my right side as a round progresses. Even so, I have had reasonably good success with this method but still had a release that was a messed-up combination of left and right. 2) After experimenting as suggested by Chuck, I decided to focus on the left-side release. While working on this I found getting off the merry-go-round with my right foot image often added a push just before and through release which very effectively screwed-up the snap at the bottom of my swing. 3) After much mirror and camera work, I realized if I changed my AXIOM image to: focus on my right foot moving clockwise from oneish around to the six or seven o'clock position and then use my LEFT HIP to move the weight on my right foot through 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and then onto my right toe I got into a great impact/clamshell position without any push through impact and with good clubhead speed. I could just let the club release and be pulled through to the finish. 4) I now use a toned-down variation of this sequence of feelings to tame my pitch and chip shots with great success. I finally feel like I will reliably hit these shots predictably. 5) Chuck/Craig/Chris - if you think this is blasphemy in the world of AXIOM, please feel free to remove this post. If not, I am interested whether you think this is a good progression for how I use the magic of the AXIOM method. Kindest regards, Tom
