Either case where do I begin drill wise etc. to get there. I have tried the right arm only and can't really make good contact with the ball which of course limits the distance. As a thought process I drive my right hard as I can from the end of my backswing very hard right from the start. It is a reduced backswing so I do not believe I have over accelerated before I hit the ball. Dave Use the muscles of your right forearm (driving right forearm) instead of your right hand... Practice with a non-automatic 3 barrel hitting stroke with your mid to short irons....with long irons and woods use the 4 barrel hitting stroke for distance shots. See 2-M-3 and 2-M-4 for combinations of power package thrust and pivot thrust. Mid to short irons use power package thrust...with the long irons and woods use pivot and package thrust. Work on this combination for 3 to 6 months...then revaluate your situation....I believe you will achieve your desired distances... DG Last edited by Delaware Golf : 02-19-2006 at 01:36 AM.
