A weird question

You know that ultra sweet feeling of flushing the ball? The kind of strike where you can hear the backspin and it just feels so sweet? My question is, is this feeling possible with throwaway or MUST there be a straight line from the left shoulder all the way down to the ball?

I think you can hear the sizzle with some throaway. My old swing had lots of throaway and if I 'threw' correctly, I could hear the phhhhh every now and again.

BUT, the better players I know who have a FLW, mash the ball all the time.

throwaway is really any time the "last link in the chain" (pp#3) fails to be ahead of the point of impact - AND SUPPORTING - that impact (lag pressure)

So stricly speaking, the left arm and club do not 'need' to be in a straight line for a well compressed shot (right hand only shots, for example) - but the force moving the grip end needs to be ahead of the force impacting the ball.

All of that is significally simpler when the left arm and club DO form a straight line (or are even arched).

Much of that depends on your grip (a weaker grip tending to 'need' arch and full roll to have a proper clubface alignment at separation)

My point was that if there are so few who have their hands ahead of the ball at impact but it is needed for a flushed shot than very few golfers have ever even felt this. Thats too bad because it's a great feeling.

Good point Edz, I read once where companys put alot of money into getting the right sound with the driver because people link sound with feel.Nothing like the sound of that ball spinning off a low iron though.

Once i learned how to compress a ball, i always get people coming up to me on the range going...."why does your ball sound different?"
