This past Friday, I hit a 3-wood 250, which for me is an exceptionally long 3-wood, with the conscious swing thought of keeping my right shoulder back to allow my arms to swing in front of my body. I swng my arms and let my pivot follow, which allows the pivot to deliver my arms and the swinging club to the ball. That is just the opposite of what seems to me described above. Am I doing it wrong? How can a 250 yard 3 wood be wrong. How about overly right As they say, BEEN THERE DONE THAT!!!! DG Last edited by Delaware Golf : 10-17-2007 at 08:44 PM.
