Lefty,
I did a little experiment where I practiced my swing and watched what my arm was doing. i discovered I was forcing my arm higher because it felt like it was not going up enough on the backswing. I realized that just by letting the natural motion take effect your arm naturally swings high enough behind your back. My ball was actually more powerful with a natural backswing.
I have had issues with muscling the ball and I need to remember if I just keep to a smooth fluid delivery and hit my mark my ball will will pack more power. It is a mental thing thinking a higher backswing and more juice on the ball makes it more powerful because at least in my case it does not. Wow, after reading your post, Scott, I realized that I was probably doing the same thing. I thought my backswing was not going high enough and was forcing it higher 'on purpose'. Tonight in practice I just let it go as high as it wanted to. I got my lifetime high score the first game where I stopped forcing the backswing higher!! I just pointed the ball at the mark, let it do its thing during the swing, and watched it go exactly where I wanted it. It seemed easy. Thanks!

One value of reading this board is finding a conversation of another that relates to you. I have noticed that a few times for myself. This is great , first to know that I am not the only one with some problems, and second that there ore some really good recommendations here.

Strange, I posted the above at 2:26 am. It is now 3:56 am. The recent post column on the right says I posted the above 1 second ago. Someone's clock is off.
