Mike said this adjustment to the left hand heel pad allowed him to maximize power with accuracy. I agree that the left hand turned grip is ideal but I think Hogan got everything more correct than anybody in the history of the game. Not just judging by what he wrote, but also by what he did. __________________ "In my experience, if you stay with the essentials you WILL build a repeatable swing undoubtedly.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts) mrodock View Public Profile Send a private message to mrodock Find all posts by mrodock
