my fav is the punch driver off the tee into a stiff head wind.  gets pretty breezy in texas, so having this shot in the bag is crucial.  just tee it way down and place it further back in my stance.  stay a little ahead of the ball and hold off on my finish.  i love to hit this when others are ballooning their drives to about 200 yds.  can usually get it out about 250-275 with a stiff head wind.  lots of roll.

If you're hitting a stinger drive 275, how long are your tee shots without wind?

Well, 275 was on the high end...so a high end drive with no wind is probably just over 3 bones.

Although I know what they say about assumptions...

250-275 depends on the head wind.  my drives average around 285-310 with still or some back wind.  well depending on how im stroking it that day.  some are better than others.

Solid. I like hitting the stinger off the tee as well. Just wish I could get 275 off of it.

I'd probably have to say the punch shot... be it with a 3w or 4iron  when you have to just get it under a tree branch....  usually happens to me when i am about 150 to 200 yards out....

now most of the time i somehow still clip the tree branch....but when i dont and hit a good shot, its always a good feeling knowing i am just a chip shot off the green...

It is what it is

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.

      Day 3 (23 Jun 26) - Grandson put in to play this morning when he arrived at the house.  He wanted to play a full 18 from the "purple" tees (these are custom tees that play shorter than our gold but longer than the red) in a best (super) ball duet.  Was a great day working on course management - seeing him play well (for a 10yr old) - for example, hole 12 has a temp green about 100 yds from the tee box, he hits a solid 8i to 4' pin high and nails a birdie putt.  Could have never been prouder.  These are the moments grandfathers dream of - and hopefully the memories he will recall when his day comes to be Paw-paw for his grandson....may the game live on.

      Posted a couple swings here. I think my attempt to blend the movement still results in a more “around” back swing?
