acq111 brings up a good point here. i agree, but how do you hit with a non-glancing blow, i get confused there, becuase you are told to hold the wrist cok as long as posable, but when i do it seems to give a glancing blow. so i uncock earyl to try to not hit glancing, but then it has low swing speed because i uncocked early. so is the key a flat swing? is an upright swing to glancing? what do you mean by glancing blow?

i have been at the range before and i know my ss was faster than the guy next to me becuase my ball speed was much faster, but his ball kept going it seemed, but my ball seemed to jump off the face much faster than his for 150yds or so, but then it just climded real high in about 10 more yds and died and rolled maybe 5 yds if that. his ball never seemed to die it just got lower as gravity pulled it and then hit the ground still going quite fast and then died as the ground slowed it about 30 or so yds later. i am guessing becauase he hit it with a non-glancing blow.

you guy's thoughts on that???
