Definitely!... However if I go *too* hard from the top i'll slide or have an upper body dive as I turn. I like to feel like I stand on my left foot (settle the weight) and then bang, turn my hips/chest/torso to the left of the target as fast as I can while I keep my head/spine angle still. I can see how I could really max out distance as a couple of times i've turned really aggressively, managed to stay in balance and hit a monster drive but most of the time i'll lose balance doing it. The times I do connect with it I get a feeling of lag in the hands, its hard to describe but I can feel the club sort of stressing/loading as I turn esp. on my right forefinger. Im still working hard on finding a balance between a stable setup and being able to turn as hard as I can and its getting better.. a wide stance doesnt seem to work quite as well as I seem to fade it a lot from there, maybe because I dont shift enough before the turn?
