What is wrong with using this all the time except when hitting into the wind? Does it cause less accurate direction?
Makes sense the15th at Mornington GC , Victoria, Australia is a shot over a hill. Generally, there is a crosswind; either right to left over water or left to right from Antarctica, a helping tailwind is a rare luxury. Without challenge, there can be no success.
You said don’t do this all the time. Why not?
Great tip, Andrew. Could you do one on riding a cross-wind?
Does a10 degree driver go farther than 9 degree driver .
Curious - why/how does hitting higher up on the clubface reduce spin? What does lower spin mean for control - does it just launch higher, or does it have an effect on slices or hooks?
