...which boils down again to technique - getting the job done with the least amount of resources. |

Super efficient!
We want maximum distance for a given ball speed.
And maximum ball speed for a given clubhead speed.
And maximum clubhead speed for a given hand speed.
And maximum hand speed for a given amount of lag pressure.
And maximum lag pressure for a given amount of effort.

Yep!
And how would Tongzilla craft a Machine to meet this most excellent criteria?

This was the case with Camilio Villegas who averaged only 280 plus yards when entering college. After a dedicated season of weights, he tacked on almost 20 yards to his drives and developed into the big hitter that he is today.

True, but i meant even at your own potential. Check out my thread on right arm thrust vs right arm participation, it explains more what i mean.

How about maximum "sustained" lag pressure for a given amount of effort?
