If your hands are educated and technique is fairly sound, don't fool yourself that extra effort can't create any extra speed otherwise you'll never reach your potential for distance when you need it.

Most definitely jim_0068,

I believe that there is a point in time if a player with good technique desires to hit the ball further that weight training should be explored.

This was the case with Camilio Villegas who averaged only 280 plus yards when entering college. After a dedicated season of weights, he tacked on almost 20 yards to his drives and developed into the big hitter that he is today.

Michaelangelo...
What was Michaelangelo's response when asked how did he sculpt David?

He took a large piece of marble and removed everything that wasn't David...

I believe most golfers have a good golf swing in them... its finding the "sculptor" to aid in the removal of all that is hindering that. Could be an instructor, could be a book, could be a friend, could be many things that finally lead them to their own "ah-hah".

Thanks Justin for contributing to my "ah-hahs"!!!

Michael

fixing effect with cause
The "intention" is the cause and the rest is "effect".

"a bobbing (3-F-7-D) head which causes a thin/fat shot is simply the manifestation of a breakdown in the lead wrist." or a golfer's intention of hacking at the ball, "moving the club to hit the ball", rather than simply "moving the club through the ball". Usually the head stops "bobbing" in a practicing swing, which no "ball intention" is involved and the lead wrist stops "breaking down" as well, because there is no ball for the clubhead to be released at.

"Effortless power" feels "effortless" but do demand effort, which moves the club(head) effectively, efficiently and precisely and randers it "powerful".

"Powerless effort" feels "powerful", yet the effort/intention is directed toward the ball (or/and its behavior), which usually causes the opposite of the above to the clubhead movement and randers it "powerless".

YOU load and sustain the "LAG", during which the "LAW" releases it, ideally beyond impact.
"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
Think as a golfer, execute like a robot.
Rotate, twist, spin, turn.
Bend the shaft.

...which boils down again to technique - getting the job done with the least amount of resources.

True, but i meant even at your own potential. Check out my thread on right arm thrust vs right arm participation, it explains more what i mean.
