Or I can change to a Hitting stroke pattern. I would have thought so too, and if only a good shaft fitting were that simple, but I probably should have added: Wishon, "The Search for the Perfect Golf Club", 2005 Chapter 4 Myths- Myth #3 - "The third myth to bury is that the forward flexing of the shaft just before impact (which some people mistakenly call "buggy-whipping" or "kicking") increases the speed of the clubhead"...... I started this thread by saying I'm much more up on clubfitting than TGM (trying to change that) and that is probably evident in my posts, but I think there's opportunity for incorporating concepts from both to increase one's ability to teach and/or learn to play this game. jmessner View Public Profile Send a private message to jmessner Find all posts by jmessner
