I was hitting 3W off the deck about 230 meters carry. we use meters in Australia.i was amazed how well hitting works and how powerful it can be.i would have to say most of my good shots had a draw on them. i question how do i know how many barrels i am using?
With the Three Wood carrying 230 meters, I would say you are a Four Barrel Hitter. In other words, your Downstroke Right Shoulder Turn (#4) is taking up the initial Clubhead inertia in the Start Down, and then your Right Elbow (#1) is simultaneously driving the Left Arm, Wrist (#2) and Hand (#3) into Impact.
Thanks-Yoda, can you tell me how to improve my impact position?ie:like Hogan's picture on the website?this to me seems to be what we need to strive for.
Know your Impact Fix alignments and use dowels and an Impact Bag to achieve them.
I have been a swinger all my life,learning to hit actually helps my swinging. I would recommend players to give hitting a go it is really powerful and very accurate. It is easier to use when you dont feel so relaxed as swinging tends to require.
To Hit, you must learn to consciously control the alignments of the Stroke. Once learned, you can apply the lessons learned to Swinging. As Homer said:
"Once you've learned to Hit, Swinging is like shooting ducks in a pond."
