Well, I took it to the driving range last week and I bombed it! I hit everything really far and pretty straight for the most part.

I took it out Friday and played my first 9 with it. I couldn't have stunk it up anymore! I had the stinkin duckhooks like crazy! I hit 1 fairway, but that was a mishit that only went about 225 yards or so.

I did hit two drives that actually had good contact, and they traveled forever. They just ended up really right. I did have a 15 foot eagle putt on my last hole of the day, but overall, I just stunk it up big time.

It was frustrating because I had hit it so well on the driving range. I just don't know what I'm doing to duckhook everything. My old driver was graphite shafted originally, and I hit it the same way. I got a steel shaft put on it, and I hit it beautifully.

I will practice with this driver until I get it fixed, but it is frustrating...

So the driver is great, but the person who is using it isn't!!!

Cody: I had a similar experience with the 905T the first time out. On the range, I was striping it. First hole: I hit the fairway; the fairway left of the hole I was playing, that is. It took 9 holes to get the driver really dialed in, and for me to find my tempo (I was overswinging).

Second 9 holes I hit some sweet drives and found the fairway more regularly. Hope you experience a similar improvement.

I'm really digging the YS-6+ shaft, too. Great "kicky" feel.

Well, I now have a couple rounds under my belt using the 905, and I am much improved. I am still not hitting it quite as far as I think I can, but I am putting it in the fairway and getting some good solid roll.

I am very happy with my improvement, and I guess it just took some getting used to. The head on my other driver was about half the size as the one on my 905. I just had to start teeing it up higher and swinging softer, and things have worked out for me...

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.

      Can't remember who but some wise guy said "Arms up, body around"..😉. Anywho, been working on pinning my lead arm less and less to my chest in the BS. Decent progress with the arms, need a lot of work and trust for the 'body around' part.
