That is, the grip is solid and the "rope" is what connects the grip to the clubhead? Or am I holding the end of the rope with a heavy clubhead on end? thanks in advance for any clarification! Woody New York, NY Clubhead and shaft are like a weight on a string . . . You can PULL a rope BUT you CAN'T PUSH it. That's the difference. Basically anyway. But if you intend to dive into the deep end of the pool. There are CONSIDERABLE differences in the techiques of Rope Handle (Swinging) vs. Axe Handle (Hitting) Primarily they are as follows: Nature of Hand Acceleration Transfer of Momentum Inherent Hinging required Wrist Action Pressure Points to be Loaded If you want to take the dive . . . I'm tredding water out there with the floatees and I'm sure many others are ready to jump in as well. Take it as deep as you wish . . . jump when ready. __________________ Aloha Mr. Hand Behold my hands; reach hither thy hand 12 piece bucket View Public Profile Send a private message to 12 piece bucket Find all posts by 12 piece bucket
