Hey 2k3,
I tipped a stiff TT TX-90 4.5". In other words, I turned a shaft that plays pretty true-to-flex into a slightly soft XX.
The strangest thing is that on the best 'feeling' swings, I get an even bigger slice. The main thing I noticed when hitting great iron shots is that my shots start to go wayward when I 'activate' my hands and arms. If I simply load to the top and turn through, I hit great, effortless shots. Lazers, really. Long lazers. Star Wars anti-missile lazers. But enough about my
irons.
So I'm starting to think that I've gotta find a way to swing the driver without using my arms actively. In the meantime, I'm going to videotape my 'armsy' driver swing, and send it to my coach. (At the same time, I'll videotape my 'armsless' iron swing, and send it to my coach, too. I might as well dig for some praise after he tears apart my driver swing!)
mhpopp - thanks for the sympathy. This all started when I really started hitting my
irons well, but still couldn't seem to get the driver going (as I've alluded to, I think it has to do with the flatter swing plane/no divot swing).
