Re: Intentional throwaway

See 1-K -- Differences.

"Apparently there is no factor -- including Clubhead Throwaway -- that cannot, by proper assembly, adjustment, alignment, etc., be worked into a fairly effective Stroke Pattern for some application or other."

This is the essence of what these tour guys do around the greens. They've assembled a pitching pattern that employs throwaway, and they can repeat it over and over again. They are skilled masters of this game, and they have the good fortune of being able to practice/play almost every day. They feel the reward outweighs the risk with these short throwaway shots, and they practice them religiously until they know they've built an effective pitch shot pattern they can trust.

Thanks Matt. Welcome back!!! I will look forward to learning from your insights as a player who has put this stuff into action. You are already off to a wonderful start!
