C'est vraiment con -- bill-o A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between two golfers neither of whom can putt very well.

That can work - with a pro who is watching your response to his instruction and giving you feedback until you "get" it.

Yeah, but I like the full quote better. It is worth repeating again, just in case someone has a false idea what Ernest Jones was preaching with his "swing the clubhead" method: [begin quote] Unfortunately, in seeking instruction, the hacker is frequently told: "Let the club do the work." The teacher knows what he has in mind, and it is correct. But he has used the wrong words. What he means is that you cannot move the clubhead faster than you can swing it. So he should tell you to swing the clubhead. But he says: "Let the club do the work." What sometimes happens is that the hacker transposes from one failing to another. He then tries to let the club do the work -- without his participation. He does not use his hands, perhaps because he hasn't been told about the "feel" of the swing, lets the club fall against the ball. It is a fluffy stroke without any power or authority motivating the club's action. There must be force in the swing. When the hacker learns that force comes through controlling the clubhead with the hands and fingers, he is ready to move into the class of the swinger, where all good golfers belong. [end quote]

Overall weight may be the influencing factor here. Just a thought. Rex

But with different shaft weights (and similar club lengths) there are obviously total weight differences. Of course the issue here is lack of a preference. I'm tempted to take a different tack on this and attempt to build a 5/6 i that I absolute hate. Maybe that would be a start - i'm not kidding, BTW. dave |
