I don't need to know what you can do. You need to know what you can do. You need to know what you must do in order to qualify for the tournament you're about to try for. Now that you know that you are 85% successful, ask yourself if it's sufficient to qualify. If it's not, ask yourself if having more lag and/or having the right impact position will improve on that 85% success rate. If not, ask yourself what will?

Is accuracy not much of a problem or not a problem at all? If it's not much of a problem, it's still a problem. Get your accuracy to 100%, then it will not be a problem at all. Do you mean that 85% of the time, you send the ball exactly to your target? Or instead do you mean that 85% of the time, you send the ball somewhere around or near your target? Do you frequently hit the flag when you practice at the range? Remember, I don't need to know this, you need to know this.

Put your numbers on the table and look at them. Hard. Then ask yourself if having more lag and/or having the right impact position (or any othe technique for that matter) will help those numbers even one tiny bit. Once you're done, ask yourself if striking the ball properly will help you improve those numbers. Then ask the same question about practice. If I practice, will I improve?

There is no single technique that will guarantee any performance whatsoever. What you wrote there presumes that having more lag and/or the right impact position will automatically produce the result you want: More consistency. That presumption is, euh, presumptuous. Don't believe me? Ask the question: Is there any trechnique that will guarantee the performance that I want?

Whatever your technique, practice is what will produce the result you want, in this case, consistency. Don't believe me? Don't practice and see where it puts you in the qualifiers. Just like any other activity, practice is the only way to improve. Oh sure, there are a few techniques that are known to help but even those don't offer any guarantee whatsoever.

Seriously, you ask for a swing tip when you are about to qualify for a sanctioned tournament. I'd love to chat with Woods but he certainly would not ask for my advice and if he did, I'd tell him he's in the wrong place. No matter how hard you look at your swing, it's not going to make you a champ if that's all you got, a swing.

Do you want to swing beautifully or do you want to score low? Which is more important to you? Which will qualify? You know Ernie Els, he has one of the, if not the most beautiful swing ever. Yet, that alone does not guarantee results. You know Jim Furyk, he's got one of the funkiest, if not the most funky swing ever. Yet, he's second in the world rankings. Even then, his swing is not what guarantees results.

I'll take Jim's swing over Ernie's any day of the week.
