Funny thing, I got two calls from very knowledgeable pros about Miller's show and they were very underwelmed. Lynn taught us to control distance by controlling thrust. Exactly like the way an outfielder throws a ball to the bases or home plate- same arm action, different amount of thrust for various distance the ball is thrown. Miller spoke us this as his ‘secret’ to his legendary control of his iron shots. This runs counter (surprise!) to what Pelz teaches the ‘masses’ in order to control distance with his clock face method. Yet, Miller speaks of Mickelson using thrust control to dial in his shots. I guess the gander ain’t good enough for the goose when it comes to mainstream golf instruction. 6bmike View Public Profile Send a private message to 6bmike Find all posts by 6bmike
