Old School

sdandrea1

I have a guy complaining of low trajectory and lost of distance. He has a bunch of issues with his golf swing but the major one is lack of the snap through the golf ball. In short, he has no release of the wrist through impact. Too stiff trying to maintain direction control. No snap, no elevation. Sometimes he complete the wrist action way before he should have release it.

Yep - that move (or lack thereof) kills clubhead speed and launch angle.

PA-PLAYA huh, look what came today...

Nice! I considered the Alpha, but decided to go with the new one. I miss those days when I could actually load a stiff shaft.

In this day and age of multiple release every 4 weeks, 2014 is old school. Here, my 1s real driver.

I have an old set of FG17s that I still love to hit Someday I will reshaft them with something current.

Hmmm ... I still have two John Reuter, Jr's around here someplace.

Release without a doubt the 455 is old too, I still like it though.

Same here, however, with my life changing injury 16 months ago, I could not hit the db455 like old times.
With my age, a come back will be highly unlikely.

I have a 455 head sitting on my work bench. Keep debating to shaft it or sell it.

All the Hos on this forum (including me) are collectively whispering, "sell it... sell it..."

Well I'm always happy to help a fellow club ho. I can post some pics if anyone is interested. I believe it is a 10* with a minor mark top of the face.

I still play a Geek FS2 and Purefit V450 now and then. A little more distance loss on off center hits than newer heads but still much more forgiving than 90s vintage stuff.

My "goto" driver is my 455/vs339 combo. What the shit hits the fan I use that for a few rounds to get myself back. Distance isn't that far off from my current driver.

Release Totally understandable. The more I think about it, the more I wonder what was wrong with the Exotics I had, I was realllllly short with it. That's not a characteristic of anything in that line, it doesn't really matter I suppose , but I still wonder.

Either way, hit yours long and straight or at least to a playable second shot if you play like me haha.
