well you are a monkey, so its harder for a human to hit it farther than an ape.

I carry it pretty far with the driver and hit the ball high. I do get some roll in TX for sure in the Summers but a strong smash factor will produce an increased amount. your crown as longest hitter is safe...for now

Do you have any idea why the left heel comes off the ground and turns towards the target as you swing thru. I do this as well sometimes and last time I worked with an instructor this is what he wanted to work on. He talked about Ben Hogan saying you should post up on a solid front leg. I guess I don't understand a solid front foot vs your little jump motion or whatever it is.

As the other guys said you might work on your tempo a little bit so your not jerky. I bought one of those gold flex weighted whip swing aid and was able to increase my power by slowing down and getting a better tempo.

Those are good observations...tempo is key to what I do...I know it doesn't look pretty but when my timing/tempo is on it works great.

Don't know about the foot thing. I know a lot of golfers generate power by literally pressing off the ground. this is the same phenomena that causes guys to drop their head and then pick it up (Tiger does this sometimes) I think its the spring off the ground. I sometimes hang back on the right side too long and that could be making the left foot come up a bit

That was pretty damn funny, nice job. Also, I would fly you with a 3 wood.

how can you say you would fly me with a 3 wood. I hit those so far you can't even see them land on the video bubba.

That's true. But I have a better smash factor.

How do you calculate smash factor in golf?

I thought this was for women walking around LSU's campus.

Not sure. Like you I thought smash factor was related to co-eds. I just looked at Ryno's smash factor and appraised mine to be marginally higher.

Let's see:

1. Sway load
2. Club freakishly inside
3. Late lifting of the club
4. Loss of spine angle
5. Early Extension
6. Spinning out

Other than that it's perfect.

Your hands hit your shoulders almost at top of swing. Get you hands higher. Too flat with your hands so low. You are actually losing distance doing that.

You mean at top of backswing?

I know that's what you would think. But the smash factor negates any physical laws you might apply to a Ryno Bomb.

Your swing has a certain Charles Barkley element to it.

Yes. Take a look at all pros, their hands are above their head.

Look at Donalds swing.

yes I see it. thanks. My problem is I can bend my right elbow in tight like those guys. i had shoulder surgery a few years ago and have an extremely inflexible shoulder (also have short arms as you can see).

If you get the club online going back you wouldn't collapse as easily. Think of keeping your right arm straight as long as possible going back.
