    Consciousness and awareness - awareness is being aware of what is happening and being aware of what is happening within ourselves while we are conscious. Where did I leave my glasses?

    Iain,
    how are the lessons going?, I've seen the swing on Youtube and it looks pretty different from your old swing. What do you think are the main differences between old and new?

    Hey Gaz, lessons are going great. Marty's stuff is sticking quite well with me.

    I'd say the biggest change is my backswing, my hands and arms are coming in more, whilst I'm not really turning to the right on the backswing, I'm turning into my firm right side, which basically makes it easier to deliver the hit. My lower body is also providing a lot more stability for the stroke.

    The biggest change has been in his ball-flight.

    I'll try to get some pics up here soon to illustrate the changes in Iain's swing. I'm flat out trying to get all my sh...tuff together for my trip OS at the end of this month.

    I actually get the high right arm thing with my current super flat chopper swing. I can pretend I meant to do it now. Awesome. Kel Nagle is a member down at Manly. Wonder if he will talk to me.

    ******EDIT*******

    Just watched some youtube of Kel Nagle Swinging a driver. What in the blue blazes is with that crazy follow through.

    Amazing.

    Looking good Iain, your clubface still looks way shut at the top but obviously you are getting it back to square at impact.

    It was meant to be about 5 weeks....but now it's looking like at least 6 months. I have an offer to teach at a facility between Chicago and Milwaukee......I have to take this opportunity.

    It's getting better each time......we don't want to change the face issue overnight, but over the next few months, with what we have worked on and Iain will be working on, I expect it will gradually get close to a square position at the top.
