The golf stroke is really a structure and a set of physical laws and alignments that surround its optimal use. You can only control what you can control and you can only control what your ready to control. People can spend countless hours wasting time trying to program themselves to do things which are impossible for them.
. . . and since this is a golf-oriented site . . .
. . . perhaps you can forgive my ignorant assumption that you were referring to the golf stroke.
Sorry.
You are too skilled at English to do two complete misrepresentations and thus I can only conclude your doing it deliberately.
Im not going to even bother arguing here (don't mistake that with I can't) - take down my animations and I am no longer posting here.
What is it with people on t'internet that they cannot say - "sorry, I accept your point of view"!

I have no problem with it and to prove it...I accept your point of view regarding the videos. If there was something I could do about it I would, but I don't work for Microsoft (thank goodness).
I think the jest of this thread is "practice can make perfect".
The problem us weekenders have is that we can make it happen on the range but the course is far more demanding. So when the wheels come off on a shot, we immediately go into mechanics mode to make the appropriate adustments and then move on to the next series of shots while still staying in a mechanical mindset. Rather than accepting the shot for what it is and staying in "player mode".
If a Concert Pianist went into mechanical mode when missing a note, the audience would recognize the change of pattern in a instant, but true appreciation comes when the Pianist misses a note and recovers brilliantly. I've seen Ice skaters and many other performance athletes do the same.

I was a pretty good pitcher when I was a young kid...one of the better ones in the league...I remember once getting pissy with the coach because he pulled me out of a game...I told him I was out of here...thinking he would change his mind ...but he didn't....I walked off the field and was heading up the dirt road home....didn't get very far though...went back apologized to the coach and told him I would never do that again...I guess I respected him for not letting me get away with it....and I loved playing baseball way too much to let my childish behavior deprive me of playing the game and missing my next start.

If I may add that what people fail to do is reconnect the proper mechanic with the corresponding "feel." My game went up a notch when I made last step in a "fix" is the indetifiable feel. These days I am completely reliant upon the feel of my right forearm flying wedge. Once I sense the angle that I need to take the right forearm up, back and in and down, out and forward...it is go time! I cannot pull the trigger until I feel/sense that plane of motion. Our feel system is our ultimate reality out there, the good news is that we can engineer it using proper mechanics FIRST.

Mathew,
For whatever the reason, you have been in a major self-destruct mode for some months now. Your arrogance, negativism and high-handed disregard for others have been the source of much divisiveness on the site, including this last sad episode. Until you resolve those issues, I not only accept your resignation from the site, I applaud it.
The request to remove 'your' animations -- how quickly we forget the inspiration and collaborative effort that was their origin -- was as predictable as it was petty. They now are down and will be replaced in time by other efforts less sensitive to personal whim.
You have both taken much and given much during your tenure on this site. I will miss your positive contributions, but not their price tag. You are welcome to return when you are able to check your hostilities at the door and conduct yourself in a civil, mature manner.
