I have a few questions. I have gone from being a fan of Hitting to a "manipulated hands " Swinger. I have also lost over 10 pounds on an Atkins/Paleo type diet. As a result, my sense of balance is almost non-existant.
Nevertheless, I shot a 79 the other day. I simply swung my clubs all the way to the top until I felt my left wrist fully vertically cock and then I aimed the club head at the inner quadrant or center back of the ball and pulled down to the aim point.
So here's the question. I am 5-11" and still 223 (from 233) pounds and can get the ball out on average about 260. The aiming point technique yields excellent driver and iron accuracy. So is the difference between a pro's distance and mine simply a function of athletics mostly or mostly fitted equipment and swing-weights?
I know from Lynn's teaching that I do not think of the steps my body needs to do to reach for a cool glass of water. Likewise, I am getting to that point in Swinging at the ball just by aiming at it with a a very simple checklist like: "target line, ball position, hinge, trace and aim." Am I missing a big piece somewhere?
