How are we NOT supposed to go by what we see? I look at video and stills of Lee Buck I see Hitter . . . I don't care what he says. Pictures don't tell no lies. You tell me how Lee Buck looks like a Swinger?

Advice to Hit longer clubs better . . .

1. Buy a hybrid
2. learn to go all the way DOWN on Plane and OUT on plane.
3. Don't swing harder . . . OVERACCELERATE. Those shafts are longer for a reason. You don't have to create MASSIVE Lag Pressure because you can't sustain it.
4. As the clubs get longer people (I do) tend to place their mind on the CLUBHEAD and NOT the Hands. Focus on the hands. Swing with eyes closed . . . then Hit/Swing it.
5. People are more than likely Steering with the longer clubs.
6. Maintain the 1st Imperative to be sure that you get the full loft on the club.
7. People tend to turn Angled Hinging into Vertical Hinging thus the righties . . . On flatter planes (longer clubs) Angled Hinging tends to look more like Horizontal Hinging because there is less lay back. So be sure that your Hinging isn't Vertical.
8. Make sure you are aligning the clubface with the described procedure in 2-J-1 (I think that's where it is). You must align the face at address to correspond to the selected Hinging AND how hard you intend to hit the ball. Harder with Angled = More Closed . . . the ball is on the clubface longer and close to counter act the laying back. Harder with Horizontal = More Open . . . open to counter act the closing.

I'm sure others can come up with more.
......A list I can use, thanks 12 Piece.
