One of the most common strong points for the top pros is GIR "Greens in Regulation" and Power....accuracy takes a back seat to those two stats. Interesting...
No wonder Tomasello placed an emphasis on POWER...I didn't get to study with Tomasello long enough... but I know from other students that Tommy had his students track each of their rounds with a unique tracking method...

Any idea why he was pumpin em last week?
Brian Gay's driving distance for the four rounds at the Chrysler Classic of Tuscon:
1st 276.4
2nd 265.5
3rd 285.2
4th 316.0
Average for the week: 285.8.
Brian tells me he is strongly sensing the Lag Pressure in the Right Forefinger (#3 Pressure Point) -- even more at the Nissan than last week -- and he is using the Magic of his Right Forearm to drive that Pressure directly toward the Ball. In his room after his rounds he drills with the dowels and a club, checking, for example, his On Plane alignmens, Flying Wedges and Extensor Action. As his Golf Stroke has become more and more precise, less energy is consumed fighting conflicting forces and more goes into the Clubhead Lag Pressure. And that is the name of the game.

Based on the above is he a Hitter?

And BG has the best "hang time" for a putt too. But a flag was thrown. BG sounds hooked.
And Brian's stats for last four weeks are not great....wondered what happened?

Greens hit. Greens missed-- left, right, short, long
Fairways hit. Fairways missed-- left, right
Quality of each shot-- straight, slice, toe, heel, etc.
Putts-- Putts made. Putts missed-- short, long, etc.
Seems like there were some other things on there also--weather that day, course conditions, etc..A player can see after several rounds the patterns that may develop. On long par 3's, for example, one may notice that nearly all misses are short, right.
Tom's tour players used these sheets. They then knew better how to practice, i.e., what they needed to work on. Most people tend to practice, it seems, what they are already good at... most of the time.
