Let the Golf World continue to employ the 'Seems As If' of distance control through length of backswing. You now have something far more scientific and dependable: Clubhead Lag Pressure Point Pressure. Use your Computer (Chapter 14) and the technique presented in 6-C-2-0 -- your 'normal' Pressure varied in plus or minus five-yard increments -- and you will become deadly accurate. I promise you that a major league outfielder does not have one length of 'backswing' for the throw to second base; another to third base; and still another to home plate. Instead, his Computer instantly calibrates the distance necessary -- it varies with each fielded ball! -- and his educated hand delivers the exact amount of thrust -- lag pressure! -- to deliver the baseball right on the money. That's why they earn the Big Bucks!

Learning to control your distance by controlling your Lag Pressure is fun. I suggest you buy a set of small orange field cones -- available at sports stores -- and use them as yard markers in practice. A set of six cones works nicely, e.g., one at 75 yards and the next five at 80, 85, 90, 95 and 100 yards. Or whatever other yardages you're working on, e.g., 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 yards. That's for wedge play. For even more fun, use the other Clubs, too. For example, if your normal three iron carry is 200 yards, put the cones out at 185, 190, 195, 200, 205, and 210 yards. Practice the technique with your Driver, too. You know, 275, 280, 285, 290, 295, and 300 yards . Now, that really is fun! And, by the way, it's also something that the 'different lengths of swing' school will never understand!

I hope this gets covered at "Cuscer-willer", this is good stuff!!
