If your s'n't driver swing lacks power, you're probably just not doing it right.

You are correct, I was swinging on too steep a plane. Now, I am swinging more flat. Before stack and tilt my drives went 240 yards, but really high (no tree could stop my drives), and I over swung by quite a bit. Now that I am using a shorter and more controlled swing, I can try different things. Without swinging that fast I am getting 220 yards of carry. This is in line with a 10.5 degree driver at about 95 mph. When I make a faster swing it is farther, about 240 yards of carry. However, I can feel the strain on my injured shoulder. I can probably swing 15% to 20% faster than that, but I would definitely re-injure my shoulder. Not worth it for 30 to 40 yards gain. In any case, I can control the swing speed with stack and tilt. I can go as fast or slow as I want. 220 carry is just fine. A typical carry plus bounce and roll is about 235 yards. Right handed, my drives only about the same because it feels so awkward. However, I probably could drive much farther, but need to improve flexibility for the follow through to prevent injury. I hope I'm not embarrassing the stack and tilt advocates with shorter distances, because I am really happy about my progress.

They haven't changed the pattern. The pattern - the swing - is exactly the same as it was in 2007.

I have 3 herniated discs from 1981.

L3 through the S1

I have a right knee that is bone to bone in the medial compartment due to a shredded meniscus.

I have a slightly torn/stretched right shoulder rotator cuff.

I almost quit this game.

Got a kidney stone.

Got klebsillia pneumonia back in February and didn't get rid of it till June-ish.

Was peeing blood for 2 plus months.

Anyway I can't swing a club like you are supposed to. My back and knee brace won't let me.

But I tried this today on 9 holes and I have to say, if I take my time and swing slowly on the back swing, I hit the ball better today than I have in 6 plus months. Maybe 10 months.

I can't say it got me down the fairway any further, but it got me down the fairway.

When swung smoothly I was always in the fairway.

Took 3 or 4 holes to get the knack of it. I was rushing it. Slowed down and it worked fine.

I used my 3 wood off the grass both on the tee and the fairway to give it a real test.

That's my experience. I'm sticking with it, going to give it some practice at the range and see if it doesn't continue to allow me to swing and not cause any pain to my broken parts.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
