Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about the transition. Well we obviously know that the transition plagues 90 percent of golfers and everybody tends to throw their right shoulder at the ball the club tends to transition from out to in cutting across a golf ball path is to far left of your target. Now we understand when the path is left to the target the face tends to hang to the right and there is a big slice. We also know the opposite is true if the club gets stuck behind right shoulder the clud comes in to down too long the club tends to transition from out any time the path too much into out the ball will go this way. Now transitionally what do we need to do to make sure we're in the right conditions? Well what I like to tell people to do is put to practice sticks down here give yourself a little leeway doesn't have to be real close but we want some sort of train track still allows us to come a little bit from the inside from the outside depending on which way we want to move the golf ball.

So for me when I put those alignment sticks down it gives me an idea of visual reference as how I need to move the club back from the golf ball. As I said there's no such thing is moving the path 0 right at the target and having the face 0 right at target because that's not reality. We're going to transition one way or the other if you will put down those alignment sticks on either side of the golf ball and give yourselves some leeway you will start to develop your own trasition and what it will do is it will keep you from exaggerating those transitional motions. We don't want to go 50 degrees in the right field that's not good we don't want to go 15 degrees in the left field because that's not good. A couple degrees one way or the other and we'll play pretty decent golf use your alignment sticks hit a few golf shots and if youdo that I promise you will have your path and your transition under control.
