Thanks for the great advice about not starting the hitting downswing action too fast. I think that's why I was not having success when I tried hitting - I was thrusting too soon from the top. I need to give hitting another chance.
Jeff.
It really ruins it with the fast Start Down.
And, I know this subject has been beaten to death in another thread. But, the idea of straightening the Right Arm from the Top is foolish. If my gun's in the car and I get in my first fist fight, I'm hoping the moron starts straightening his arm, before he moves his shoulder towards me. He'll be eating through a straw for weeks.
Ask anyone that's used the 3-D imaging equipment, and they'll tell you it would be less than advantageous. The idea of doing this could be useful for someone. But, accomplishing it is another thing.
Poor players Release the club from the Top. Great players Release later.
Ted is right on that and it's almost impossible to do the Hitting stroke properly with anything else but a Sloooooooooow start down.
Using a shorter backswing is also having unexpected results.
Many times I noticed that shortening the backswing in a hitting stroke led to a far better compression and more consistance in precision.
But as Ted stated, the first time you do it, it's a torture for your mind!
Strange, facinating and wonderful thing: the slower and the shorter you go, the more the comfort, power and precision!

Homer said to make your stroke slower and shorter, until you start losing distance.
