start, we are using our mind, our creativity and our eyes to accomplish the
                 flight of our golf shot.


                 We need Letter Lesson H to sight where we want the ball to go, to visualize it
                 after we make contact with it. So what I have here on the wall is the sighted
                 line target. It is just a belt that I taped to a wall. For this illustration this will

                 work for us beautifully.

                 We are in a box, we have a shape, we understand where we are in time and
                 space so this will be a simplified version of how to accomplish the Hybrid

                 Stance.

                 The back of the feet will be going to the Sighted line target and the left side of
                 the body, the left knee, left hip and left shoulder will be open slightly to the

                 Sighted line target do to the bending in more of the right knee.

                 Mr. Hogan moved the club in these concentric circles that we have made with
                 the Hybrid Stance. You do not need the parallel lines, the clubs down like a

                 railroad track.

                 Mr. Hogan applied his grip while he had the club in front of him at waist high.
                 You do the same. He did not do a lot of practice swings. Use your waggle to

                 loosen up and feel how you want to take the club back with your left hand and
                 apply power with your right hand.

                 Put the clubface square to the Sighted line. Mr. Hogan had his driver set open

                 with a reminder grip that was placed at 5:00 or 5:30. When you have this on a
                 club you will have the clubface open. I am showing you a squared clubface at
                 address.


                 Again we have two targets. One where the ball will start, ( the Sighted Line)
                 and the other one where the ball will land, (the Target Line). With a natural
                 release of the hook instrument the ball with start at the Sighted Line and drift
                 back a little to the Target Line. A nice playable draw trajectory.


                 I have 2 videos for you the one that is going over the draw and the other that
                 will cover the Hogan Fade. This is what you should try first to get these two
                 targets in your mind.


                 My head placement, my vision and my imagination are in a horizontal
                 position over my right groin area. I have these two lines in mind. I am not at
