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.
