Long before the advent of launch monitors and long before 'hiting up' with the Driver became all the rage, Homer Kelley had it figured out. He said that when the ball is struck after Low Point (the geometrically correct way to 'hit up'), there is less Compression Leakage due to backspin. The ball goes further, yes, but the trade-off is that you have less control.

Nice....Lil Green Man...the "trade-off" has been become altered do to tchnology...If you don't care to fix the motion....fix the equipment for the compensation....

I saw this happening when roming the range of PGA,LPGA, and Nationwide tour events..

probably the coolest..."Jimmy-Rig" was when Bobby Clampett was testing out a driver that had the bent shaft like the zebra putter...but it was in a driver...Bobby said" Can you bend it somemore to take a little more of the curve of the ball out!"

Now it's more like move/change a weight here or there....
