"Steve,
I recently watched your "Mike Austin Takeaway" video. I was struck by your penetrating insights and keen awareness of what was ACTUALLY going on in Austin's swing apart from the misleading observations and
interpretations of others.
Many golf pupils and instructors suffer from what psychologists call "confirmation bias" or "group think." You don't. Congratulations.
I have authored a book, entitled GOLF'S THREE NOBLE TRUTHS (2007), focusing on awareness, balance and unity. I lament, among other things, the woeful lack of growth among most golfers. I assert that there's something seriously wrong with the way golf is currently being taught and learned. Simply put, I smell a rat.
Thus, it's no surprise -- given your rare ability to perceive and think independently -- that you have succeeded in recognizing and teaching the proper bio-mechanics associated with the Mike Austin Swing. How wonderful.
Thank you for your work. I celebrate your efforts. I bow to you. Best wishes!

How do I keep from flipping the club head at the bottom while keeping such supple wrists?
I am a new member. I like what I am learning as it is what my body has wanted to do for the last 20 years but no one said it was OK. I picked up ten-plus yards with my irons the first time I went onto the course ( 7 iron 160 yds) with decent control but I struggled with a big hook with the driver. All else seems to be ahead of schedule. How do I keep from flipping the club head at the bottom while keeping such supple wrists? I am using a neutral grip.
Thanks,
Keith Brewer
