ok, I've been following Brian since back in the fgi days, when he first exposed me to the golfing maching, and got me pivoting like crazy with a ton of lag.
That data along with many others helped take me from shooting in the mid 90's to getting as low as a 4 handicap this year. However, I still had significant gaps in my game, ie: very bad at pitching the ball, horrible from inside a hundred yards, low ball flight, very little spin. However, I am a far better than average ball striker, particularly with the mid irons.
So I've read and followed all of what Brian and Michael have said about the new release, and i've really worked on it, along with my normal swing the past couple of weeks, and here are my thoughts.
1. Immediate improvement in my pitching and chipping, I think I've had far too much lag on these types of shots which really limited my ability to hit high soft shots.
2. Big improvement on 30-80 yard shots, same as above.
3. less distance higher trajectory with the short/mid irons, although more spin.
4. more distance higher trajectory with the long irons. I might actually be able to pull out a four iron again and get it in the air.
5. I've really had to work at making sure I don't pivot from the start of the swing and feel like I'm releasing the club immediately. If not, it's four right or at best a slice. Been tough to slow that pivot down, but it's doable with effort.
So in summary it's definately something I feel I can implement in my game. I don't think I'll go completely away from my current swing, however, it will certainly give me more options as to altering trajectory, and I think will really improve my wedge game.
