Im sure Austin followers drool over it but my own personal opinion of it is less than enthusiastic for the above reason. What about it rocks your world? The experience I had working with Mike over 14 years is priceless. I am sure it is the same with Lynn and his time with Homer. Mike setting the long drive record of 515 yards is unbelievable with the balls and equipment they had back in the 70’s. Mike talked about applying torque to the handle. This was his secret as Mike put it. His right hand was driving hard and fast through impact. I wish he was still around to debunk the kinetic chain theory nonsense I hear on another forum. I say it is the fall of Rome over there so to speak. I even hear Caésar is now saying you don’t have to point at the plane lines anymore on the back swing. Tour pros don’t he says. He even put up an audio file about it. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I know Homer would not want to hear that. purehitter View Public Profile Send a private message to purehitter Find all posts by purehitter
