Clubhead bounce angles will dictate much of what is feasible with these shots, so experimentation is vital. The results of the testing will have to remain in your "computer" to be conjured up in planning specific shots at hand given different ground density parameters WITH AN UNDERSTANDING OF THROWOUT AND (if you're reallly good) INTENTIONAL DEGREES OF THROWAWAY .

EC,

Welcome to the forum! Not a Packers site but hey, if you are a fan that it makes it all the better. As you can see, Yoda likes it green!

I'm going to press you on this one to see if you can help "clear the fog" on the terminology and procedure. There's a bunch of new folks here that could really benefit from your post if you can break it down a bit.

I'll kick it off with some clarification of your first sentance...In TGM path is always the path of the hands.

Hope all is well at Pinehurst...

Bagger



Bagger,

Thanks for the welcome, but hey, I'm no Packer fan! It's Panthers all the way and a GREEN bermuda grass field. There is absolutely NOTHING I like about a frozen tundra!!!


OK,

Circle path is a CIRCULAR hand delivery path...no straight line is attempted, and is normally executed without an axis tilt. Accompanied by vertical hinging it is capable of producing super soft shots. Quite frankly, when given a decent lie, I make a couple of adjustments to assure that I disrupt RHYTHM and thus create intentional throwaway. In Mr. Kelley's own words..."Throwaway can be an extremely useful procedure when used intentionally." Granted, this takes a superior understanding of the mechanics, but isn't it superiority for which we are all striving?
