My hand throwing sweep releasing driver (downwind) is called PARABOLA! I might be exposing myself as a dribbling halfwit but I name them ALL! An old timer recommended this little technique when I was a junior (well in the rearview mirrow, now) to bring my range game to the first tee. The idea is to figure out the mechanics on the range etc. During this process you will discover pet favorites, shots that you can produce a high percentage of the time. I call my hitting angled hinge pitching wedge (from about 115) TOM-TOM! So, in effect all the way around I am selecting (by name) the stroke pattern required. You gotta have fun, right? One more: my basic motion 7 iron with horizontal hinge (essentially a bump and run) I call GROWLER. The inner monologue will go something like " Let's hit us a little growler, here."
