Comments on: Topping the Ball http://www.peakperformancegolfswing.com/topping-the-ball/ A Simple, Yet Powerful... Pain Free Golf Swing! Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:23:00 -0700 hourly 1 By: David Green http://www.peakperformancegolfswing.com/topping-the-ball/comment-page-1/#comment-62178 David Green Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:10:55 +0000 http://www.peakperformancegolfswing.com/?p=5514#comment-62178 This article brougt back many memories of frustration. I would swing good on the practice tee, and then on the course top the ball most of the time. Then one day on a trip to Seattle, there was a "light bulb" moment. The golf courses were so green, and beautiful, it felt shameful to ruin the grass by taking a divot. It is OK to take a divot and ruin the grass. I still have to remind myself once in awhile that taking a divot is ok and part of the game. This article brougt back many memories of frustration.

Surge your guidance please. In trying to arrive at the objective of swinging the arms faster and coming up like a pop tart I lose control and the ball goes exactly where I did not intend it to go.. "What am I doing wrong" and I say that knowing I may well incur your displeasure. Your comments and advice re topping are very helpful. I am due for an operation this coming week and shall be "hors de combat" for a while but shall use the time to brain wash myself. With good wishes Eric Hi Surge

Griffin. THANKS!!! After reading your response and we here being in the grip of winter and not able ot get to the range or the course for a while. I mulled it over in my head and stood in my living room simply alligning the ball and my point of focus over and over again. Your explanation was nothing short of perfect and I am certain that even WITH the astigmatism I fight every day I have a much better focus point than before. Again...THANKS!! and not just to J. but to all of you here on the site. Your insight, experience, and professionalism are indeed a great help and a gold mine to golfers if they will just listen and practice. Dale To: J. Griffin. THANKS!!!

A large margin of error means that you do not have to be very precise and still hit the target/accomplish the task. In other words, the margins are wide so it is easy to stay within them. A small margin of error is the opposite. There is little if any room for deviation or else the attempt will fail. A golf swing has a small margin of error for hitting a good shot. Surge,

Your set up advice as far as the arms hanging straight down for the driver is something I may have been remiss about - a problem I have been experiencing is that whilst the ball has got away OK the distance has been severly affected as I seem to be hitting too much towards the heel of the driver and it is my intention now to make sure of the position of my arms and also to pay more attention to my feet set up! I completed all the documentation for the special price on the peak performance driver swing but do not appear to have received any confirmation or been able to access it on my computer - is the video electronically generated to my computer or do I receive an actual DVD - down under here in New Zealand it takes at least 14 days for anything to arrive from the States if in fact I am to receive a DVD by post! Would you be kind enough to look into this for me? Thanking You Merry Xmas Alan P Don
