Air,
Kev's correct. COMPRESSION!! It is a feeling that probably should be illegal. Rarely did I ever experience it before and now I experience it frequently. I think that is what Basic Motion will ultimately bring.
Dodger is correct about DOWN. After about 50+ years of lifting the ball, or some variance of, I now try to strike down on every shot including putts, just so I do not lose the concept.
I have increased my pw from about 100 yds on a good day to 115. I've been air mailing greens everywhere, but my direction is very good. I love chipping back to the hole. I don't even care if I go out of bounds yet as long as I get compression. I am sure scoring will come.
If it helps at all, I am trying to think of the ball as a clock. The very top of the ball is 12:00 and I try to strike it at 2:00. Baby, that is down. It works great so far. It just took me a long time to get there. I have a long way to go.
One other thing. I have three tools/aids that I use regularly. I use the PBS a lot. I have several and they are all quite worn.
I have a Tour Striker. I have the 7 iron and am thinking of purchasing the SW also. Kev has the SW and I tried it a little. Great tool for in the yard and not having to chase balls a long way. I hit that 7-iron so well some days I wouldn't mind having a whole set.
I have a TALY that I use for chipping, pitching and putting. It is another very helpful device.
Thanks.

I agree, all really good tools... just don't bring out the Taly when our friend Dodger is around!

A good alternative to a tour striker is IMO to purchase a set of vintage blades on ebay.
Some of those blades are merciless in their feedback. You'll feel it an see it if you fail to hit down on the ball. I bought myself a complete set of some McGregors. They cost me 35$ plus shipment. And the grips were in pristine condition. Killer bargain.

What's so different with these clubs that you want an extra set? Are they flat on both sides?
