lagster,

I extend the left arm, and the right isn't rope limp, but I'm not stretching the left arm by pushing on the left thumb with the right tricep. On the other hand, I'm not going to both arms limp after the BS as in the Gravity Golf Swing. I can't retain max Left Wrist Cock deep into the DS with any kind of right side tension. I strive to deliver the acute angle of the Left arm and clubshaft to release point.

OR Testosterone. Even if Michelle Wie hits it 300 yds, she doesn't have a genetic makeup that automatically puts more strength in her body. It's the same reason we don't let other athletes inject themselves with steroids, because it's an unfair hormonal advantage. It has no bearing on their skill or mental toughness. You might as well say that it's ageist for Little League not to let 17 year old kids from the Phillipines to play.

Sexism is NOT stating that men and women are biochemically and physiologically different. That is medicine. Sexism is taking someone's theory of biology without fact and making a generalization (like a certain Ivy League president).

As an aside, I don't think Michelle Wie will dominate the LPGA, at least until she develops a better putting game/mental toughness.
A man's testosterone has as many disadvantages as it does advantages.

These are own my ideas and are not TGM certified. But try this for yourself - get your hands as far down into the DS as possible with as much retained wristcock as possible using Extensor Action. Now figure out a way to get there with MORE retained wristcock.

Actually, I was doing this on my own this time last year, and was hitting my irons one club further (swinging). I got away from it when I started hitting my irons. But in the meantime, my driver, 3W, Hybrid distances have suffered greatly (I still swing them). I suspect this may be due to this very issue. Will test this as soon as I can get back to the range, probably next week.

Thanks again! Your posts have been very helpful.

True. But in development of muscle mass, strength, endurance and bone density (which favor all athletic endeavors including golf), testosterone is an advantage. That's why people inject themselves with anabolic steroids, to effectively increase their testosterone.

[Bold by Yoda.]
Hitting or Swinging, for maximum Power, the Release must be delayed "until all Components, except the Right Foot and the Right Shoulder, have reached or passed the Line-of-Sight-to-the-Ball..." (6-M-1). This includes the Right Elbow per 6-B-1-C.

Putting
Then explain why the boys are consistenly better putters.

Below the GIR putts stats for LPGA and PGA of 2004. First value pair is for the top ranked GIR putter (Cink and Grace Park) and so on.

Sorry about the size of this post. Do not have Excel on this PC. If I had I'd post a nice graph to make it more obvious. Maybe someone can copypaste & make the graph.

For the same reason they are better through the Green: They are better Ball Strikers.
