So you're saying that Larry Bud's absolute max is only equal to what a normal golfer can do swinging at 70%? I'm hoping I misunderstood you, because otherwise that's one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. Larry Bud doesn't have a 5 handicap because he's a short hitter. One of the reasons he has a 5 handicap is he hits it a lot further than a "normal" golfer. gary hayenga > > I try to believe I swing approx 70-80%.. swinging faster ONLY > translates into long bombs if you hit the center of the clubface.

From: fiveiron on 19 Jul 2006 16:43 one must swing at 80% of their potential to effect a decent result. otherwise they would be too petered for the next shot. >mho >v fe >w o o d s y t h e o w l s e z, >g i v e a h o o t ! d o n 't p o l l u t e......

Picture you have a pocket knife, apple, etc...at the end of the string which you have to "swing" back and through whilst keeping the string taut..... rich wrote: > How many times have we all been told to "swing easy".....
