This video begins our three-part series on the Address Routine.
For our LBG Friends: Actually, this first video will probably be #2 in the Series by the time we get it all figured out. The introductions (including 'Bubba') need to get in here somehow! Also, we apologize in advance for the low-budget miking and Mother Nature's decision to move a windy fall cold front through during the filming. But not to worry, there's a ton of good info here, and the price is right...
This segment features Ted Fort, PGA, GSEB, 2006 Georgia PGA Teacher of the Year, demonstrating his very own Hitting alignments.
Both Hitters and Swingers should watch this video with regards to the fundamentals. However, Swingers should carefully differentiate those Components that clearly are in contrast to their own action. Particularly, the Hitter's Impact Address (Flat left Wrist and Bent Right) versus the Swinger's Standard Address (Bent Left Wrist and Flat Right).
The next video will feature Jeff Hull, PGA, GSEB, 2004 Georgia PGA Champion, demonstrating his very own Swinging alignments. Caveat emptor for Hitters!
The Series features more than one hour of video. As a result, these files are large. Unless you have a broadband connection, we recommend that you right-click on the link, and save the video to your PC before viewing.
Ted... do you start from behind the ball, or walk in from the side, when you play? I think many people think that one has to start from behind, like Jack Nicklaus and others, but I think that one does not necessarily have to do that. Starting from behind is probably a good thing for most, but I believe Tom Kite at one point, for example, determined he does better from the side.

What do you think?
When I'm playing, I usually come in from behind. It's mainly for choosing an intermediate target within a few inches from the ball with which to define the target line.
Love that pattern Ted! No doubt it is thanks to seeing your motion and working with both of you that I am at 'masters' level execution with my hitting and swinging patterns.
Gotta love this place.... Looking forward to the rest of the series.
