Well, you knew the insane one (that would be me) would have to disagree on many points.

Although I've taught some Tour Players, I do not play for a living. So, I shouldn't be included in your list of players. I'm a teacher that loves to play, and I wish I had more time to do so.

But, I am capable of Hitting. I have had sub-par rounds in tournaments using the procedure. And, I'm presently Hitting the ball very well. I was a bad Swinger.

In my second match of our 2006 Georgia Match Play Championship, I was 5 under on the 4 par fives (one eagle and three birdies). So, apparently, distance is not a problem for a Hitter.

Until I met Lynn, I had never met a Golfing Machine teacher that thought Hitting was a valid procedure. And, I knew many. Homer thought Hitting was equally useful, precise, and powerful. With him, I agree. I do not agree with the school of thought that Hitting is only for the short game. I don't know many that could truly describe the Angle of Approach Procedure. So, if anyone had ever tried to Hit, it was probably not pure.

As much as I'm ashamed to have to agree with Bucket , it is overacceleration that ruins the ability to Hit a driver. Since we have no club longer than a driver, we add too much (early) speed when we want to Hit the ball hard. The slow Start Down for the Hitter (mentioned in 6-H-0) is mandatory.

Hitting is a lost art. But, I'm very happy to have found it.

So, no...I must not Swing.

Ted is being very modest here.
The Day before the Falcons fire school,he played at Eagle Creek in Orlando with some friends of mine.I told one of my friends to tell Ted on the tee that he could reach the 7th green if he bombed it across the O.B. on the right.
I forgot Ted was playing off the tips-it was 346 yards to the pin!.I was parked near the green and he carried it 320 -and just popped out of the rough another 5 yds.
Not bad for a hitter
