dang, this is funny .. discussing ding methods is almost like discussing a pre-swing routine IRL ..
i've got my own little eccentric routine that works for me .. i use a armless office chair & mount the sucker cowboy style .. with my chest leaning against the backrest .. nice support .. lol
i draw my swing mtr horizontally instead of vertically .. before i release i turn my head slightly to the right .. almost like Andy's facing the screen at a slight angle i would imagine .. i make sure that my line of sight on the ding line is not to the right of the ding line ..
on release i quickly zip my swing mtr icon so that the bottom arrow sits on top of the ding line, giving me a visual focal point ..
i don't focus directly on the ding line, but on the mtr icon above it, so the prgression of the mtr bar towards the ding line is caught by my peripheral vision ..
works for me
