Ted: Please post some more Dartfish

Thank you for the pictures. They are a great help for those who need to clarify the very technical vision (and so competent) of Mr Kelley's book.
My question is: do you use the same hitting pattern for the driver, and will we have a chance to see the driving pictures ( as Trig ask in the first post)?
Thank you so much for sharing these materials.

If I get a chance in between lessons today, I'll try to take a couple of driver pics. And, yes, my driver is the same pattern.

Ted,

Before "seeing the light," were you LONG (uh)? I have witnessed your prodigeous length after becoming a flaming Hitter, but could you bust it with the misinformed mismatched procedure?


Thanks!

I've gained considerable length. I'm almost exactly 15 yards longer with all my irons and a little more with the driver. Making the swing shorter and starting down slower makes sense for hitting it longer, right? That's why instructors have job security.

I have just started to try hitting and these, for me, are the hardest things to make yourself do:-
Throw all instinct out the window.
Stop the backstroke early.
Sense the lag.
Lean on that clubshaft with heavy heavy hands...steadily...positively...evenly until the ball is well gone.......well well gone.

Fort Knox.

Bobby,
I hope we get to meet when we come across the pond, for the St. Andrews school. Extensor action with a slow start-down will help you with some of the problems.

Any more info on your St. Andrews jolly yet?
I would love attend if I can as it is very unlikely I will be in Marietta anytime soon (it may as well be in the Dagobar System).

At the speed of light, we're really not that far away. We're looking for dates immediately after The Open.

[bobbyj]

I'm sure we will all be kept posted.

Thanks.

I have done a lot of progress using hitting procedure. This is specially true for irons. I still have problems with woods and driver. For years I have been told to "sweep" my woods and try to drive the ball upward.
Question: Do we have to hit it DOWNWARD, outward and forward, even with the driver? If yes (wich I presume) what is the incidence on teeing high?
Thank you

Go DOWN young man. Take an air divot with a driver. Tee height has become higher on average, because the CG's have changed. Driver faces are much deeper and the heads are much bigger. Additionally, try hovering your driver and you'll feel the ability to still go down. Sole the driver and return to a higher tee height and it will not feel the same.
