I've seen a pure hitter, and his name is YodasLuke!

LW 100

PW 140
9I 150
8I 160
7I 170
6I 185

7W 215
5W 235
3W 255
DR 280 carry
These distances are with "normal" lag pressure. (the pressure with which I play-not trying to get crazy) In fact, I'll give you a short story that was really funny to me. When my distances started getting so high, I thought that my clubs must have been sent to me de-lofted. I went to the local equipment store and had them checked. My LW measured 60.5 and my SW measured 56.5. They were opposite of what I thought; they were actually half a degree weak.
...can't blame the extra distance on the clubs...have to blame it on YODA and TGM.
I met Ted last month when I took my lesson with Yoda. I have some nice footage of him on my own personal DVD now!

The thing that I thought was most amazing was Ted does not take his hands high and does not have a lot of wrist cock at the top - in fact it looked to me like he was taking a 3/4 backstroke. He sets up at exactly impact fix and starts up from there (correct me if I'm wrong Ted).

I said, "Man, you don't take the club back very far at all"

He said, "That's it. That's all there is."
