Hank Haney Driver Article in GD

[Bravo35223]

Anybody see this?

An incredible mea culpa.

If I was in the business, I don't know if I would have done it.

And how he cured it - paranoid schizophrenia.

Don't look at the ball??!?!

It was a good article, I was impressed that he came up with an ugly swing that gets the job done and works for him. There is a certain point though that it gets to be to much information, kind of like the time I was flying from Baltimore to Dallas, we hit a real rough patch of weather, stuff was flying all over the cabin, after it was over the pilot gets on and says "looks like we made it through, I was pretty scared and I don't know if I could have held it together much longer". I don't know about you, but thats not what I want to hear, I like my pilots with nerves of steel and a golf Instructor who can hit the ball. But we are all human and even the best have rough patches, hope for Tiger I guess. There is also an article in that issue as well that tells how much golf club components actually cost (according to "insiders"), $77 actual cost for a titanium drive we pay $500 bucks for, another one of those things I would rather not know about, or at least not be reminded of.

Interesting article. How many times have you or someone you're playing with taken the perfect practice swing from the tee or fairway only to follow it with the "Oh Sh**" real swing. Was it someone in this forum recently who was talking about letting the ball get in the way of your swing?

I'll say this, his driver yips make any of the problems I'm working on seem pretty insignificant.
