While htting from a model pont of view appears simpler to me I can not for the life of me come close to the distance I could achieve while swinging( about 3 club difference). I know my mentor (yodasLuke) has stated it is the trick that is hardest to learn but for me (maybe because of physical issues) I cannot seem to use my right arm activelly without using my right hand resulting in the unbending of the right wrist resulting in casting etc. I suspect something in the lower pivot motion is required to make it work whether than pivot motion be active or passive.
Either case where do I begin drill wise etc. to get there. I have tried the right arm only and can't really make good contact with the ball which of course limits the distance.
As a thought process I drive my right hard as I can from the end of my backswing very hard right from the start. It is a reduced backswing so I do not believe I have over accelerated before I hit the ball.

Don't take this the wrong way, but why did you switch if you were striking the ball better swinging?

I had cancer in my rear leg and the leg to above the knee had to be amputated.At the Canton forum it was felt that hitting would be easier that swinging because I couldn't get the pivot I needed for swinging. But never fear with the generous help of the people on the forum and others I'll get it back sufficient to play a ok game.

This sure puts my frustration with searching for a swing in perspective. Go get 'em Dave.
