Although I've taught some Tour Players, I do not play for a living. So, I shouldn't be included in your list of players. I'm a teacher that loves to play, and I wish I had more time to do so.

But, I am capable of Hitting. I have had sub-par rounds in tournaments using the procedure. And, I'm presently Hitting the ball very well. I was a bad Swinger.

In my second match of our 2006 Georgia Match Play Championship, I was 5 under on the 4 par fives (one eagle and three birdies). So, apparently, distance is not a problem for a Hitter.

Until I met Lynn, I had never met a Golfing Machine teacher that thought Hitting was a valid procedure. And, I knew many. Homer thought Hitting was equally useful, precise, and powerful. With him, I agree. I do not agree with the school of thought that Hitting is only for the short game. I don't know many that could truly describe the Angle of Approach Procedure. So, if anyone had ever tried to Hit, it was probably not pure.

As much as I'm ashamed to have to agree with Bucket , it is overacceleration that ruins the ability to Hit a driver. Since we have no club longer than a driver, we add too much (early) speed when we want to Hit the ball hard. The slow Start Down for the Hitter (mentioned in 6-H-0) is mandatory.

Hitting is a lost art. But, I'm very happy to have found it.

So, no...I must not Swing.
300,

I switched to hitting and in 2 weeks I am HITTING my driver better than ever. I am sustaining the lag, I have video proof.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
