I felt I was close to my normal swing. I did not swing that much smoother. but tried to give it more of a lash off the tee at one time. The result was a high hook.

I never even thought of Hitting or punching - even though its probably possible to punch some.

I'd say swingspeeds up to 100 mph is ok, but over that you risk wrecking the clubs or lose a lot of precision.

One thing i liked is that bunkers became MUCH more of a hazard than with modern equipment - bringing strats & course mgmt into play.

And I think that playing hickory every now and then is beneficial to your game. A good hickory player will be smokin' on steel.
