Arc of Approach
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie here and want to first say thank you, thank you, thank you. This site is the best golf forum on the internet. The obvious reason is it is based on TGM but as important are the friendly members and their posts.

I have (actually I should say attempted) to read and understand Homer's book. And as many others before me, have strugled in understanding all of the contents and nuances.

I do have my first question. Homer states that the Arc of Approach should always be negative (down toward the ball.) He does not differentiate between irons or woods that I saw. Everything I have read however regarding the driver says that the Arc of Approach should be positive, that being, hitting on the up stroke to minimize spin and therefore increase distance.

In the January 2008 issue of Golf Magazine, Charlie King wrote an instructional article titled, "The Easy Way to Add 20 Yards." What caught my eye was a table of data that showed driving distances of varying clubhead speeds and angles of attack with the driver.

What are everyone's feeling regarding this issue?

Thanks,
Wali
