10-4-d Four Barrel

In real terms if you had a 4-barrel player go to a 3-barrel action and master it to the same level of competence. In your opinion, what would be the loss of distance with the driver be if he became a 3-barrel player, if say the guy could crank it out 300 yards with a 4-barrel action? Thanks.

This is a great question and a great post.

The answer is that the Three-Barrel guy would find his ball 290 on the sprinkler heads. The 300-yard Four Barreler likely would be four yards ahead and surrounded by a group of his closest friends...all in the rough..and all still looking...

P.S. Attention All Four-Barrellers: Do not forget that a lot of what you think you are feeling as Right Arm Thrust...or Drive...or Right Hand through the Ball...or WHATEVER...is nothing more than your very powerful Right Shoulder driving the #4 Accumulator through the Right Forearm Flying Wedge through the Ball.

You may feel the 'Power' in your Right Arm or Hand...but the Source is your Right Shoulder. Larry Nelson told me this personally fifteen years ago, and he knows zilch about The Golfing Machine. He IS a Golfing Machine. Think about it.
