Why do they even bother making a Japanese model if it's only going to add 5 yards. It's not like marketing ploy because these drivers are not readily available to US residents.

Yeah that is weird. What's the point of that?

And also, to stay on topic, why would you want a club that's illegal anyway? lol.

agreed, in my opinion playing non-conforming clubs (i.e. these japanese drivers, or people stocking up on square-grooved wedges for when the regs change, even though theyre legal for amateurs until 2024) is the same as breaking any other rule to decrease score. cheating is cheating :(

Goals: Correct slice on driver/long clubs(close!), work on consistent iron distance, practice aiming irons

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
