Swinging doesn't mean that the trail arm gets to wither on the vine. It drives me crazy to hear teachers say to "take the right side out of it." If that worked, you'd be able to hit a ball the same distance with or without the Right Arm. :eyes: Comments like those make my job recession proof. It doesn't hurt to have people like Richard playing golf with those that he hasn't seen in a couple of years. The wow factor never hurts the referral business. And, you're right. He's so excited about his game that it's hard for him to hide it.

Hall of Fame post for Hitters or Swingers. Thanks for this insight.

We had to take another picture. Richard's doing things that I can't do. His speeds are unreal, so we had to take another picture. In case you think your eyes are fooling you, it’s a 119 mph 5 iron. I wish you could hear the sound.

At that speed you can get that sound with silly-putty. :)

How far and How straight?

He was there. At that time, he was the one laying sod with the PW.

The 5 iron was flying well over 200 yards and the 8 iron was flying somewhere around 170 yards. He still has the occasional OTT, pull. But, most are very straight.

122 mph is the fastest Richard has ever achieved with a driver. 84 mph to 122 mph is the most change that I've ever seen. He continues to amaze me.

With a 119 mph 5-iron, I would have to think that 122 mph with a driver is pretty much nothing. Is there something that holds him back with the driver?

PS - awesome progress!

His 5 iron was faster than the driver for a time. His tendency was to over-accelerate. It was most evident in the driver and has been since he began with me. There's something about removing a headcover that makes the brain go to mush. :eyes:

I tend to snarl and grunt when I pull the headcover off. It gets funny looks from my playing partners. :golf:
