Sire
That is all the higher I take ANY of my clubs back. One can generate a lot of clubhead speed from the shoulder height level through the ball at impact.

For example, I normally drive the ball about 250 years on average. That is not overswinging. It is swinging in rhythm. IF I try to give it a little more, then I rotate a little farther but not HIGHER. I have hit some tee shots over 300 yards. Nothing like the sound of a ball when you hit the sweet spot and you are in rhythm and sync. It just feels perfect...

My normal 7 iron is between 185 - 195 yards these days. It was 200 yards plus or minus 5 when I was 5 years younger...

I hit my 5 iron 225 yards so I do not carry a 3 wood. My 9 is about 150 and my pitching wedge 130 - 135.

I am looking forward to playing again but only after a little bit of practice swings at a range....

Do not like embarrassing myself off the 1st tee in front of a group waiting behind mine.....


YOU HAVE MADE and excellent point and a GREAT GOLF TIP ... Some day we should play.....

micro....

T-minus 6 days and counting....

...when I was golfing I did the same thing everybody else does and that is to try and knock the ball out of the park every time I hit it. I would bring that clubhead around so far that I could turn my head slightly to the left and see the clubhead just over my shoulder. After suffering with back pain and having time to think about the golf swing, I started by thinking about the hammer swing. Nobody draws a hammer back that far to hit a nail. Ya can actually get a pretty good lick on a nail not lifting the hammer any higher than yer head. Ya can do the same thing with a golf bat. Take the club head back til the clubhead is no higher than your shoulder. Swing away. Anything you lose in distance will be made up in accuracy.

...if ya is wondering about my golf credentials, I can break 120 on any course in America unless it has lots of water.
