And you match the beam with the arch on the mat to get the "inside approach" to help you roll over your hands and develop a draw. My uncle used it more than me cause his natural swing was a strong fade( which i called a slice that he wont admit -_-). But it helped him out more than me, cause my natural ball flight is a slight draw anyway. It just helped me develop better ball control.

word...I saw that Leadbetter contraption on TV...I'm left handed, so my natural tendency is to hit a draw (cut spin) to the left...When I'm playing well, it's a nice controlled draw...When I'm playing poorly, it's a weak push or a slice...
My problem with alignment is with my shoulders...It's more important to have your shoulders aligned correctly than yoiur feet because shoulders determine where the ball goes more than feet...though, Ideally you want EVERYTHING aligned properly...
I've learned to work my irons in both directions...
I haven't learned to control a fade with the woods yet...I can hit a hell-u-va power cut though...and control the direction of it
a hook for me is normally out of bounds...crazy though...I know the distance I want lies in a controlled hook...that gives u more roll and raw distance than a cut
but yea man...I know you know all this, I, just excited to actually have someone to talk to about it
