Re: compression

S4P, i agree that may be misleading, thanks for clearing that up....

i just have trounle trying to explain what i do.

main thing is you have to feel the club head throughout the DS.

if you are just swinging the club without trying to throw the club head at the ball then you might as well have a steel shaft with no bend in it. we want to use the shaft to hit the ball extra far.

i think people should start with a senior shaft and work on bending the shaft and feeling the head and then work their way up to a stiff. you have to learn to use your body so that your arms aid in the swing and end up loading the shaft so that it can compress and release through the ball.

you can swing with just arms or just body and hit it decent, but to hit good you need to collectivly use both. if you can't bend a shaft throughout the whole swing then you are swinging with the body, then arms..... it like pulling a bow back, you want to let it go, you don't want to push it foward.

everyone is different, but for me to learn how to use them both, i had to learn my arms first, then i could put my body into it (before i learned i just used my body and very little used my arms because i didn't know how to and i was told many times the body wing the arms)..... i like the RHD too, and i did it int he DS even when i had a false shoulder turn.... the RHD speaks of holding the right wrist cup at impact, and if you are pulling the arms down correctly with enough force than even though you are trying to uncup you can't and still hold the cup.
