No amount of effort will produce more than a player's maximum turning speed. Regardless of effort you simply cannot push anything faster than you can run. One thing I have discovered, even though I can make a fast move, I can't maintain alignments. It has taken a while to discover why, the reason is the lack of strength in the supporting structure to maintain the alignments. Even though I can make a slower motion and maintain, when I add speed I lose control. For Impact Drill you can always move the bag or forward. Move bag, louder noise, bags moves but you can definitely monitor you alignments. Move is forward to the point of Follow Through, quiet sound, and tip of the bag. Monitor your alignments here to see if you have lost them. The problem I have with these practices is that they both require an interruption of the stroke. Thus either conscientiously or by impact the stroke is disturbed. These are good to learn the feel, but I think at normal speed that they can be counter productive to monitor them. The Left Arm Drill that Jeff Hull demonstrates is great IMO. You want to hear the sound at Impact or later. There is a right arm drill that is equally as good, but I seem to have lost my reference.... I think with most of these drills you need to use a mirror so you can Look, Look, Look. Speed without control produces a product that is worse than moderate speed with control. 300 yds in the trees vs 250 yds in the middle of the fairway, Wide left of the green or on the dance floor, etc. __________________ Good Golfing Martee Martee View Public Profile Send a private message to Martee Visit Martee's homepage!
