[golfgnome]

Jeff,
Congratulations on qualifying for this tournament and doing an excellent job under adverse conditions. I looked at the paper yesterday am and saw a number of "big name" players that finished behind you. Keep pluggin' away and best wishes for a great summer of G.O.L.F.

Any fitting tips or specifics considering the driver loft and B330 ball? Also, is my count of 13 correct? Thanks.

I checked the HG website. The count is 14. Gnome is a 4 wedge player (46*, 50*, 55*, and 60* - assuming standard HG lofts). Plenty of short game options with this bag makeup!

BTW, it was truly awesome reading this thread. Jeff, congratulations. Despite the weather, the learning experience must have been intense. I would probably wet myself playing with that many world class players. The Yellow book builds mental toughness as well as educated hands and machine strokes.

I now understand-"tw" is the HG T-Iron wedge available with or without bounce.

Thanks

The Target Wedge (more traditionally known as the Gap Wedge) fills the 'gap' between the Pitching and Sand Wedges.

Yup, it's a 50* wedge. I play the same iron set up. TS-1 5-TW.

I believe Tom Kite was one of the first to carry 3 wedges. He dropped the 2I and strengthened the loft on the 3I. In Golf My Way JN favored going "down the shaft" to control less than normal distances with the wedges. There seems to be an education in Jeff's bag.

Jeff,

Congrats on getting to play in one of the "big shows"! When they say "these guys are good", they mean it (although I think that fact is very unappreciated by the casual observer). To be able to tee it up with them (as a non-exempt player) is truly a great accomplishment.

I just got a chance to check out a couple of the videos from the gallery and the clip on "alignments" is tremendous. Many thanks to you, Lynn and company for posting that one. I just got back from a big 3-day event in which I hit it just horribly. I realized after viewing that clip that one of the primary reasons I hit it so bad was that my hinge action and rhythm were way out of synch. Watching that one clip may have put me back on track.

It's amazing what you can pick up on hanging around this place.

Thanks again,

Agreed, Comet. For newbies, there is a ton of stuff to learn. For seasoned students, there is a ton of stuff to get straight.

In particular, watch the way Jeff (in his Total Motion Waggle) uses his Pivot to Transport the entire Power Package (the 'Triangle Assembly' of the two Arms, the two Hands, the Club and the Loaded Pressure Points) from the Top to Release. Then, watch as Centrifugal Force and his straightening Right Arm continues that Delivery through Impact to the end of the Follow-Through (Both Arms Straight position). You will not find anywhere a better visualization of The Secret (6-C-2-A):

If the Pivot moves the Right Shoulder at the same speed as the Power Package -- or the Primary Lever Assembly -- the Accumulators will not be Released by the action until the Right Elbow can straighten. Even then the Clubhead Lag is still maintained -- it has NO Release Point.

For those who have trouble streaming this video -- this includes me -- right click and use the 'Save Target As' function. It takes a while to save, but then you've got it . . . immediately and permanently.

It's worth the wait.
