So, startdown for the 3 barrel hitter is with the right arm (the muscles of the right forearm per 10-20-B). The startdown for the 4 barrel hitter is with the lower body (hip slide per 2-N-1-B, study 2-M-3 and 2-M-4). 3 Barrel Hitter = Power Package Thrust 4 Barrel Hitter = Pivot Thrust and Power Package Thrust DG

dg,
do you think going 3-to-4-barrel would let one hit it farther?

HCW,

The whole idea behind going from a 3 to a 4 barrel stroke is to increase power (distance). But it also appears trajectory is a factor too. Just take a look at Tomasello's three barrel hit with a 5 wood it produces a low slider....on the otherhand, with the 4 barrel hit which creates more force on the ball equals greater lift equals a higher shot. Being able to execute a 3 barrel or a 4 barrel hit would be the ideal approach for a hitter in my book....it would give you more options in controling distance and dealing with different course conditions.
