According to Homer it is not. I do not understand the physics. Why is thrust and "heavy" more important than speed and "dainty"? Be the Gentle Giant! Thrust: Keep it high -- or at least decided and definite -- to be sure of the sustained Lag through Impact. Shorten the Stroke if necessary. Heavy: Sense the Inertia of the additive Effective Mass of the Clubhead (2-M-1). Speed: You must have it, and you 'gotta love it!' But not at the expense of Stroke Radius and Clubface Control, e.g., by throwing the Clubhead past a Bending Left Wrist through Impact. Never Dainty: Stay in control. Even in Putts: Don't 'peck.' Instead, Drive to Both Arms Straight! __________________ Yoda Yoda View Public Profile Send a private message to Yoda Visit Yoda's homepage! Find all posts by Yoda
