Granato what say you? Aoa? And don't say 49 degrees. Lol.

[Michael Jacobs]

How far right do you have to aim for that one?

hitting up 49 degrees would mean you have to aim at china

Mike,

So glad you posted those screen shots of the club! I made some comments on it here:

Thanks, Mike.

No way I would have believed it could be done. Even after the first first times trying to address it, I didn't think it could be done. I was completely comfortable with letting height be my VSP crutch and excuse.

The one thing that seemed to bring it all home was just getting my back to the target. My tendency was to overdo that, which lead to over swinging the arms, which never let me get them back down where they needed to be. I'm actually hitting it farther (with better speed) with this "shorter" range of motion. Swinging faster on a 13 degree lower plane is something very hard to explain the feeling of.

Mike G,

What is your AoA with the driver now?

Depending on the shot, I'll have an AoA of +2 to +7. IIRC, this shot was +4ish.

Adjusting/controlling the AoA and spin with the driver is the ONLY thing that has ever come easy to me in this crazy game. Sometimes I can even get those same numbers with my irons.

Do you appreciate the ground more now?

Do you appreciate the ground more now?

Yep, but at my size, I don't think the feeling is mutual.
