I just sent this now 'not-so-private' PM to Aussie Bomber:

I've not forgotten this thread, Aussie.

But, my time (and web access) has been extremely limited the past two weeks. I'm just back from the PGA National Championship and other commitments that have precluded engaging in a 'power' discussion (no pun intended). In fact, my posts of late have been painfully produced 'texting' from my handheld Blackberry!

I had hoped your thread would take off with my introductory post, but apparently everybody is laying in wait. Meanwhile, it's off tomorrow before dawn and the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, Michigan.

Just know that I'll be there when I can.

Thanks.

C' mon, guys: Weigh in with your thoughts. There is the Mechanics of Power (Chapter 6); Body Power (Rotor Power/Swingers or Launching Pad/Hitters per 2-M-4); and also, strength (the sparsely populated 2-M-3 / Muscles).

Obviously, Aussie is doing the right things right. Otherwise, he could not achieve his prodigious distances. What can he do to ascend to his next level . . . a level none of us and, in fact, few in golf's history, have ever achieved? Don't be shy. Remember: Homer Kelley, golf's ultimate mechanic, never claimed a club championship, much less a long drive championship.

Let's get this thread humming!
