The one you can hit

Calvin Pete comes to mine because he was a straightest driver of the golf ball ever. Greg Norman was another good ball striker of the driver. Rory McIlroy is currently in my opinion the best driver of the golf ball.

I have read a similar book were it focused on taking your natural swing. Back n through without thinking of anything but your target. I’m curious to see how this book compares but I will wait for the price to fall he gist of it is to forget about all of the form and movements we’re being taught and to instead start with a natural swing feeling and then adjust that based on contact and ball flight. He suggests throwing a ball toward a point on the ground that is approximately where the golf ball might be at address. Practicing this throwing motion helps to create good pressure shift, loading of the right arm, hip rotation, etc. But, don’t think about those things, just throw the ball and try to hit the target on the ground. Next, he suggests throwing golf clubs towards a target. Same idea here. Forget about swing form and just try to chuck the clubs towards a target. To improve at these throws, your movements should naturally adapt toward traditional golf swing forms. Finally, hit golf balls. As you are hitting, just imagine you are throwing the club toward the target, and just let the ball get in the way. Don’t worry about form. But, pay attention to your contact and ball flight. As you make adjustments, your form will naturally improve. Swing the club fast, and that effort will help to create good form. This method worked well for me initially. In particular, throwing the clubs really helped me to develop some feels I have struggled with in the past (later release, in-to-out swing path, keeping my arms in front of my torso, and rotating toward the target). And, I was able to add in swing movements as my throws became more accurate and consistent (pressure shift, knee flex, sidearm throw feeling). The book didn’t tell me some things about HOW to throw the clubs that might have helped me, but I think that is the point. I had to figure those things out myself. On the course, I began reaching the upper ends of my distance ranges. I also developed a nice push draw. Accuracy was an issue, but for a short time I had a one-way miss and hit some really good shots. However, I also hit some real stinkers. Big hooks out of bounds, fat shots off the tee that didn’t make it to the forward tees, etc. I made far more birdies than usual, but took too many double bogies and my scores actually got worse. At first, the motions were very easy on my back. But, over the course of a few weeks, my back pain and fatigue returned. I think the book had some benefit in unlocking some feels I was previously having a hard time finding. I will probably continue throwing golf clubs when I can to work on my game. But, for me, this doesn’t seem to be THE WAY of learning to swing a golf club. Instead, it provides another tool I may be able to use to help me learn more quickly.
