City,
You are going to have to help me with this. One of my golf friends states my driver game is "Strong like tractor," while my iron game is "dumb like bull."
How in the world do you get such distance with a 9 iron?

I can only tell you now and show you in August. Of course, Lefty could show you anytime.

Owing to my shorter front leg, I have a funny sense of physical balance. (Emotionally, I enjoy a great deal of imbalance, of course.) Once I get to top, I really concentrate and focus on driving pp #1 down. But my front leg starts out like our "S&T" brothers! My pushing down on pp#1 is smooth, smooth, smooth. I play with good golfers often, and they will tell me my swing is one of the smoothest they have ever seen. The reality is that I don't swing at all, but hit!

I also have a weird set of clubs, Jerry. I have a 10.5 clone Ping driver, a 14 degr. 3-wood, a 16.5 degr. 3 wood, a 24 degr. 5 wood, a 32 degr. 7 wood and a 40 degr. 9 wood. My handles are like a roll of quarters. The only irons I have are 7-LW, and the handles are thick and heavy. My clubs are very stable and pretty much swing themselves. I think balance is everything.

I take crap every round for my 7 and 9 woods. But, so far this year, I have won 4 "closest to the pins" in our various contests. I hardly move the club handle and simply aim the plane!!!!

Some guys hit their pw's further than I hit my 9 wood!

I'm not sure why but in the last two weeks, I have started to out drive our club pro and 3 previous club champions (2 championship flights, and 1 "B" flight). I slide the ball back on my drives and aim for the inside right quadrant and that Noodle (not Titleist) cooks and runs a lot! I've also gotten some really big tees and hit up! The courses are hard now and I get some big bounces!

I'm thinking about getting some pink graphite to match my socks just to screw with everyone minds even more.
