Peter, thanks for all your input. Do you ever sleep? Just some thoughts regarding change of direction. Went out to hit some balls today with one thought in mind, Pause before starting down and/or back. This had always worked for me but I got caught up in the "hit it hard & long" trap. I just started swinging easy with a wedge only thinking "pause" and made good contact as well as some decent high and about 115 yds shots, which for me is good distance. I have been reading this forum with somewhat of an o. k., but not for me attitude. Well to make a long story short, I tried the squat move which I just KNEW was a waste of my time and energy. Goldarn ball JUMPED off the face about forty feet higher and about ten yds longer. This lasted for about fifteen real easy shots and then my ego got in the way. I was just thinking squat to start down and let it happen. Can't thank you and everyone enough. I felt like I was eighteen again. We must find a way to get copies of Bertholy"s book for those who want it. I do! Keep up the posts!
