Subject: Hit longer drives
|
Driving is without doubt the most macho part of the game. Nothing makes
the others gasp more than this magical shot. I was personally never a
'long drive' master but the more that I learn about 'true gravity',
the easier it gets to sail them out there.
There is of course another good reason why my 'long drive' has
improved from an ordinary 230yds to an average of 290yds. Yes you
guessed it, technology. As Jack Nicholas often says after one of his
big bombs, "Well folks, that's why we all play titanium!"
Gary Player recently stated that he would have won at least two or
three more majors had these wonder clubs been available. I certainly
agree, 15 years ago I would have been one of the longer players on the
tour mixing my present knowledge and equipment.
It is however a hard fact of life that many have benefited from this
technology and although I have managed to catch up somewhat, the very
long hitters have also benefited. Which brings me nicely to my favorite
'long drive' tip.
Please allow me to start with this, 'Don't waste any energy on the
back swing and let the legs run the show.' I will then turn to tip
number two, 'don't hurry the downswing'. As a matter of fact,
when it comes to creating maximum power in the downswing, smooth leg
movement is also the key.
However before you even think about hitting a 'long drive', it is
important to make the proper preparation. In Murphy's 'Golf in the
Kingdom', the author is effected by Shivas Irons' 'kind of black
magic' theories, where he creates energy streamers in his pre-shot
routine along which the ball will travel. This is referred to as the
'next manifesting plane'.
Jack Nicholas is and was notorious for creating these energy
streamers. He defied all laws of averages, especially on the greens,
when it came to playing in Majors. He visualized every shot before
attempting it and in his own way created these fields with his psyche.
So what is the secret to creating these energy streamers?
Visualization!
This brings us to the follow-through, which in chronological order is
the last but not least important part of the swing. I have a colleague
who swears by the smoothness of the follow-through and claims that with
a little patience all the discrepancies of the swing can be tackled by
this tip.
If you digest these four tips you will be well on your way to adding
40yds to your average drive. If you chunk it, that's 10yds for each
tip. With the technology of titanium you can add another 10yds to this
total. I personally achieved these results from 'long drive' without
over exerting myself on the driving range.

Gary Player is (once again) full of it....if today's clubs had been
available 20 and 30 years ago, they would have been available to
EVERYONE. So Player wouldn't have won any more tournaments, he would
have just driven the ball further..along with everyone else. Plus, the
golf courses probably would have lengthened then, too, to account for
the added yardage off the tee....

Dear John & Rob,
My middle name is Joseph and I spelt it Joeseph for years until someone
kindly commented that they had never seen that version of the name
before. They could have made fun of me just like you but no he was
actually a gentleman.
I do however realise that I was so far away from the 'silver bares'
surname that I did deserve a little critism but please don't rubbish my
words for a spelling error.
Thanks for the comments

OK - you said "Jack Nicholas is and was notorious for creating these energy
streamers."
I'll assume that we are referring to Jack Nicklaus here. What evidence do
you have that demonstrates that Jack created "energy streamers"?

Hey S,
I certainly wasn't making fun of you so please don't take it that way.
My posts are full of misspellings so I'm the last person who should
make fun of someone's typos.
There is a guy who posts every so often named Scott Newell. In his
signature line he has a quote from Homer Simpson that says, "That shot
is impossible! Even Jack Nicholson couldn't make it!"
So, I apologize if I offended you about the Jack Nicklaus/Nicholson
thing. I didn't mean anything by it in the least.

knowledge seriously if you don't know it's Jack Nicklaus (once is maybe

All work and no play makes Pflum a dull boy?
The irony is the OP was posting from a .de website, and "Nicklaus" is
one German variant.
However they are all forms of Nico from Greek, so I wouldn't be too
hard on him :)
Gotta save our energy for Kenny G ;-)

Cal,
I'm sorry but I happened to misquote Gary Player on this one he was
actually referring to the new Rescue/hybrid clubs bthat have replaced
long irons and not the new drivers. It's probably the same difference
but the driver thing is of course a little more obvious.

Hi Zuke,
Ernie Els, VJ Singh, Tom Weiskopf, Slammin' Sam Snead, Bobby Jones,
even Tiger (when he's swinging well) and many more would disagree with
you my friend. I always lose yards when I feel I am trying to hit it.

Some players are or were competent enough to be able to hit hard and
still do well. Arnold Palmer did this a lot. Tiger does so less
often, but he does occasionally go for it.
Mere mortals need worry about just hitting the ball square.

Hi Dave,
To be able to create energy streamers you need one great quality and
that's 'VISUALISATION'.
Jack had this in abundance. As he quotes in his books, "I must see the
shot in its entirety from the moment it leaves my club until it comes
to rest. How it flies, the shape of that flight, how it lands and how
far it rolls. Only then do I select my club and enter my pre-shot
routine."
I can also create energy streamers but my visualisation is not at his
level but I do keep trying.
I hope you are more convinced.
Thanks for the remarks

I think that we can agree that visualization was important to Jack's game.
However I have a different theory. I believe that Jack's visualization
created Invisible Golfing Jello (commonly referred to as IGJ). It is the IGJ
that positively influenced Jack's shots, rather than energy streamers. If it
was a big drive that Jack needed, it was probably a red IGJ such as
strawberry or raspberry. If it was a soft little SW pitch it was most likely
be a softer color such as lime. Of course since IGJ is invisible, not many
people are aware of this.
