 Re: the key to distance Quote:
Nor would either one care enough to reply. Johnny Miller was leading the USOpen one year as the low amateur, went into the clubhouse, saw Hogan eating. He went up to Hogan and said "Hello, Mr. Hogan, I'm Johnny Miller, you have always been my idol and I have followed your career" Hogan said without even looking up,"Can't you see I'm eating my soup." Now that's my kind of guy. Guess what he would say to Shootin about the right versus left, pushing vs. pulling? Would you like to guess?   |

| Re: the key to distance the austinology is a total of 7 hours. some parts of it are more valuable then the other parts. I would go with the stuff off his site so you can hear it straight from the horses mouth rather then interpertations |

| Re: the key to distance It's true that at impact, there is some sort of exhalation... whoosh... that comes naturally. Should we try to condition ourselves to do this on purpose or does it come about naturally? I think that on the upswing, I kinda suspend breathing a bit so it does not interfere with the shot. After all, in a two-second swing who needs to breathe? On one hand we should not think about breathing at all on the course. It might ruin our game! On the other hand this could be experimented upon on the driving range...  |

| Re: the key to distance Research in competition hand gun target shooting indicates the body is most at rest just before the exhalation process has bottomed out. There is a 0.7 second window to pull the trigger with minimal interference from breathing. Please note the handgun shooting is not golf. In pistol shooting, movements are critical as any movement is transferred to the end of the barrel. Any wind, for example, causes body movement that can kill the shot. Just something to experiment with, if interested. |

| Re: the key to distance Not to count angels on a pin head, Brian, but it's a relaxation more than a breath holding. That brief time between when most of the air has been exhaled and before the diaphram kicks off the inhalation phase, as I understand it. You're right in saying it's not the same as in golf. I agree with that, but at the same time, it raises a question in my mind, "What are we hoping to accomplish by analyzing and discussing breathing?" golf, that is. I think the issue relates to application of martial arts technique to long balling it on the golf course, something like that. |

| Re: the key to distance Ed, Yes, you are correct. Don't see why I commented really. I would say that breathing is associated to golf but more in the mental part of the game, it can help with relaxation and a pre shot routine. |

| Re: the key to distance I have been doing a little yoga, and also looked into breathing. It is part of yoga, martial arts, weightlifting, archery, everyday life, etc... from what I gather the "ideal' would be to exhale when applying the downswing force. but I could always be wrong.

Breathing is over rated....  |
He did say you should hit with both arms though and intimated you should not let the right overpower the left. I would not agree with his contradicting statement that he would like to have three right arms, that would overpower the left. Shootin, nobody is suggesting the right side does not play a powerful role, only that it must be tuned with the left. I believe the right and left side should have a Yin Yang relationship that works in harmony whereby the right does fire through but under control of the left side.
