if "they" wanted to, couldnt someone design a driver that really goes a lot further, based on the physics of the face. all drivers have to conform to certain specs about how fast a ball leaves the face right?

Yeah, you could basically make a face that is a giant spring, which will catapult the ball forward. It's not legal, but it can be done.

I bought a Zolex last month from a guy in Times Square. Only cost me $50.00 bucks.

It's actually pretty simple. You yell "Boom!" if the shot is downwind (it helps the ball ride the air currents better), and "Pow!" if you're hitting into the wind or a crosswind (this helps the ball bore better into the wind). I'm sure Hamm would back me on this, and it is proven with scientific testing.

POWWWW should also be used in cases where hitting over mountains is necessary.

Google The Hammer and you will find some of the funniest forums comments you have ever read. One guy said it was like swinging a wet noodle tied to a rock. Someone else said he has a 111 mph swing speed and the first time he hit a ball with it he caved in the face. A third guy said he threw it in a lake and the carp threw it back out - they didn't want it, either.

Somethin' to be said for the POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW, though. Tennis players do it all the time. Serena sounds like she's getting stabbed every time she hits a ball, and Sharapova, well, I watch her with the sound turned down.

Hammer EGGGGGGKS. POW! I'm getting my driver shaft taken off and re-attached upside down, then I'm whittling it flat so it can cut like a sword. That is, until the adjustable hammer with 240 zolex lie angle options come out. With a lie angle of 120*, no more over the top swings. POWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

If Jack Hamm could possibly learn how to 3 putt, he'd dominate the PGA Tour

I laugh hysterically everytime he says that.

      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.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
