I'm puring it. It's got to be the balls. I'm horizontal Hinging tightly over a 4 foot length, 2 feet before and 2 feet after. If you can't crack the ball with that, then it's gotta be the ball.

Go in a bunker, ala Ben Doyle and double check impact. The Bunker will tell you rather cruely if you are making solid impact through the ball or striking sand first. Can't hurt. Then go bring your ball brand on a golf course he hit some. And don't think an angled hinge can't produce a loud and solid impact. Its the circle not the hinge motion. Practice "Yoda's Secret", this small angled hinge motion will attract a crowd. Even old wound balls will bark
