Man, this is an expensive drill. Not only did I "whack" a hole in the sheetrock, I think I broke my hand...

Thanks for taking the time to keep us updated Brian

So the longer the club, the less you need to bend over, which means you need more axis tilt to get the right shoulder on plane during the downstroke, and so you need more open shoulders to make sure the plane line doesn't shift too far to the right.

If you get the chance, can you talk about how some golfers can keep their left arm glued to their chest longer during release and follow through (e.g. Bartlett/Hogan vs Finney), and the pros/cons for doing so. Cheers!

The above is something i have mentioned in lessons a lot because it's also one of the main reasons why it is so much easier to get a higher lofted / shorter club that it is a lower lofted longer club. You bend over a lot more, you don't need so much tilt, and it's easier to make the right shoulder be on plane.

Brian - Are the new Ping wedges you are referring to the Tour-W wedges?

Hmmmm...

I'm wondering why you think it's so different for him.
