I have always been a tinkerer, hard to stop... I notice most TGMers prefer blades. I LOVE blades. Hitting the center of the clubface has never been the problem for me, so why not. Right?
Maybe not.
I'm proud to have studied lots of great methods. After trying EVERYTHING, I find that I am what another website refers to as one of those "DAMN TRIPODERS."
Watch YODA's swing sequences, at setup and throughout the swing his middle center (hips) never get behind the ball. He is ALWAYS on top of it. Same with my tour model Brian Gay. I watched players on the practice tee at the PGA Championship this year, NOBODY moves behind it on the backstroke, and Brian stays forward with the best of them, maybe THE best.
I am convinced this is the reason for the great success of both "Tripod" swings.
What can destroy this theory really quick? Trying to help the ball up in the air.
I want to try to trap and drive EVERY ball into the ground, driver through lob wedge. That's how I can keep my alignments and flat left wrist. Never trying to help it up in the air.
I'm going with loft in the driver, 10.5°. I'm going with irons that look like blades, but add loft and spin (AP2). 2010 resolution, I'm going to try to hit every ball low, and let the golf club help me spin and elevate it.
I know I'm goofy, but am I wrong with this thinking?
