Something's been bothering me. How do you know if you're using your accumulators correctly, if at all?
Please consider the following:
Someone has been interested in golf for a long time, but never actually taken a lesson. Instead, curiosoty and many late evenings on empty ranges through the years have led to a sort of a trail and error swing based on the following simple assumption: if a change hits the ball farhter, it helps building a sounder swing. That is- the swing (total motion) that hits a specific club the farthest (assuming the desired trajectory), is also the best swing.
Then this golfer stumbles upon TGM and sees all these nice concepts. Because of lack of formal training it might be difficult to gauge how much of TGM that is actually already incorporated in the existing swing.
And assuming that everything can always become better the golfer now tries to develop 'true' power based on TGM in an effort to maximize potential.
In line with prior experiences the golfer now studies the book and, with use of available online material, tries to incorporate on his own, methods he has read about. But since 'feel' isn't always accurate, and look, look, LOOKING for the wrong things isn't all THAT, he might mess up things that were 'accidentally good', substituting them for intent that leads to tension (trying to hold/reach certain positions.
I know that the above described tension isn't part of the curriculum, of course, but still...
Maybe the false belief that learing G.O.L.F the right way will add distance (assuming distance is already good) might put hurdles in the way of a newbie- forcing overswinging thinking THERE HAS TO BE MORE.
When do you stop "worrying" about power and start looking on other things?
I carry (give or take) a 9 iron 135 yds, 7 iron 165 yds. 3 iron I don't really know the carry, but it typically stops 200-220 yds out. My drives come to rest at about 265 yds (give or take).
