it ain't the size
Remember, the golf club- the shaft, clubhead and the educated hands gripping it - is a marvelous tool with tremendous mechanical advantage. Fitness not age would determine the golfers ability to move the clubhead onto the ball. Some will “mash into” the ball better in their late 50's Hitting better then others in their 30's Swinging. Health pays dividends.
One other point. To learn how to Hit- listen to Lynn and Ted Fort. Tom missed the mark explaining and performing the stroke. The more I view that section, the more I feel he had little regard for the procedure outside of a speciality shot into the wind on the plains of Texas or somewhere. Nothing wrong with that- that’s fine- it makes the world go round, but the few minutes he gave to the Hit Stroke missed the mark. That is not the Hit Stroke used and taught by Lynn or Ted. BUT... before Lynn Blake, the TGM world was almost all Swing. Few knew the beauty of the stroke, fewer could teach or perform it.
