Please pass my congratulations along to the gentleman. Could you share some of the suggestions you made during yor first lesson? On my first lesson, we traced the baseline of the plane with a laser and discussed the RFT and clap.

Thanks for the video. Great!

I always try to find out about the player's history. He had some baseball experience. Baseball players make quick changes and understand wrist conditions.

I explained uncocking and hinging actions. I also explained the release interval and release point. That changed the physics. Once his hands were educated, changes came quickly.

The plane changed when we worked on tracing versus covering. And, I gave him some simple analogies to change the feels.

It's like wearing a sweater in a walk-in oven. I got a new pair of glasses last week. I put on my sunglasses, put my clears in the case, and left them in the car. At the end of the day, the anti-reflective coating on the lenses had melted. Thankfully, they're going to replace them.

When I'm in teaching mode, I throw my top 100 against the wall to see if anything sticks. I stop when I see the

Giving so many lessons, it's difficult to remember what gave the student the Ah-Ha moment. But, I'll try to go back into the memory banks.

Yes, I understand. As we get older we become more forgetful. Which one of the two of you is 73?
