I am not a good golfer but on a "good" day I can hit my five-iron about 165 yards towards a distant target and all my shots will land within 10 yards radius of the target.

I have no greater professional goal than to help people to a level in golf that they could not achieve on their own. That would include changing the first part of your sentence. I want you to be a great golfer. And, I'm sure my desire for you is no greater than your own.

But, 165 yards is between an 8 iron and 7 iron for me. My 5 iron goes 200 yards. Understand that I'm not trying to get into a pi$ contest with anyone. I'm just making a point about distance. Shorter hitters can hit the ball straighter at times. But, short and straight doesn't get it done from 7,200 yards.

We have three pieces to this puzzle:
Clubhead - Pressure
Clubface - Directional control
Clubshaft - Geometry/Plane

Because the distance seems short, direction is good, and you're telling me the Plane is good, I would be looking at the power leakage. In doing so, you'll find inter-relationships in the puzzle. Finding the causes and effects begin the peeling of the onion.

Any level of success is not necessarily directly correlated to form and function. You could be the most talented athlete that ever walked the planet. If you are, those are less than stellar numbers. If you have trouble dressing yourself, those are magnificent numbers. What's important is getting 100% of what you bring to the table.
