Re: Great Tip....going to try it!

Well, I only played 9 holes.....but it seemed to work!!
Along with Gord962's tip about tempo (counting 1-2-3; parallell to ground - top of backswing - striking the ball) I seemed to be swinging much better and hitting the ball much straighter. I was a little concerned about distance of the tee but by the time I got to the 9th I felt much more at ease with the swing and, after a really powerful feeling practice swing, hit it very long and straight.
I am only concerned that it is not a massive change in my swing (so in my head can't be the reason for changing my game around) but, as I have noted in another post, it doesn't pay too exaggerate new swing thoughts or tips.
It has certainly helped with coiling rather than swaying and encourages a balanced finish compared to the falling over on my toes feeling that I sometimes got.
We will still have bad days, but I feel that piece by piece I am getting a good golf game/swing together. Recently, it has been down to tips shared on this forum....hopefully I might be able to return the favour one day.
