Sorry I didn't know where to file this as I have quite a different request in terms of TGM...
Background:
I am a professional Long Drive competitor in Australia and my goal is to qualify for the World Long Drive Championships in October (if not 2008, then 2009). At the start of the season I had a swing speed of 117mph, after 4 months of training I am up to an average of 135mph and have a max out of 142 mph. My longest drive to date is 363 metres (403.3 yards).
Recently I aquired a copy of the little yellow bible through golf guru (thanks guru, it has changed my approach to golf!)! I have been diligently working through it. The things I find every single day because of it constantly amaze me. Although I am a little bit confused as to whether I should swing or hit?? One day I find something in my practice that is swing, the next day I am doing something that makes me hit. My biggest problem is consistency currently. So I thought I would just come to the LBG gurus and get my head screwed on! (No offence to ISG anyone, I just love the way TGM things are explained on here!)
Questions:
1. From a pure distance perspective is there a definitive (swinging or hitting) option that works best for distance maximisation?
2. What components should I really be focussing on in order to get the maximum power into my swing?
3. Any other advice, tips, drills or comments??
Any help I can get I would be most appreciated.
I apologise for the very basic nature of my post, it has taken me at least a month to summon up the courage to write anything on this site. You all have such a vast knowledge on The Golf Machine, it can be a little bit intimidating for one just starting out.
Look forward to chatting to you all soon and utilising TGM to fulfill my Long Drive goals and aspirations.
