Then, graciously, Lynn shows the Hitter's Flail. The "down" or "release" of the Hitter must benefit from being delayed since the force of the blow is carried closer to the ball as is the forward lean of the hands, so eloquently explained to me by Lynn, Kevin and Gerry. To Hit effectively, It seemed as if Lynn fired "Down" as his hands got to his back foot and right elbow got to his side. Do the skilled Hitters in our group have a key or body location they employ to know when to fire down? Yesterday, my range practice with fatigued range balls seemed most effective when I slowly rolled my front shoulder up and almost horizontally fired my right hand to my left pant's pocket. The 8 iron flew with a high little 5 yard draw about 155 or so and sweet spot ripples of delight. (Perfect balance, too, thanks Lynn!) Max distance however did not appear for other clubs including driver though everything had a draw and kept a solid flight line. So the ''Down" then of the Hit begins when? I understand why "over- acceleration" is really a problem missing where you might trigger the "Down." I had some success firing at the Plane Lane slightly before the ball with the driver dependably producing a high push and a big quacking 20 yard hook and roll shooting ahead of the teed ball by about an inch or so. Am I getting warm? ICT __________________ HP, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
