I played with a guy at our club last night, he's about 5'6 160 lbs and flat our hit the ball a mile. 480 yd par four he cut the corner and went driver pitching wedge.
What was interesting was his preferred shot, he played what I would call a trap draw. He's set up with a closed clubface aimed right and swung right, ball would be a moderate ball flight and draw right back into the fairway. Played this shot from his driver to his sand wedge. He had a little bit of trouble though if he had to start the ball left off the box.
Not sure where this would fall on the Manzella Matrix, but it was interesting to watch. He plays to about a 4 handicap.
Guy had never had a lesson, I'm guessing 90% of pop instructors would try to change everything he did....
