An old German professor suggested not to start an article with a rhetorical question. Ah, well.
So I was attempting to stay well behind the ball, try to get the left shoulder at the ball for a wood at impact and maintain an angle "up" towards the path of the ball. (Right arm is lower on the club, there is your tilt, and like a Republic, try to keep it!)
When I was able to do this, it worked quite well. When I was not able to do it, my misses were tops and not duck hooks.
I managed to hit a couple of monster drives. I hit a lot of high, long, straight irons.
While I've been relying on my iron lay for a decade or two, these were better. I like the added height and was able to carry some stuff that ordinarily was a problem, particularly if I needed to hold the green.
The 7th hole at Las Po, is a short par 4. I start with a 5 iron and then approach the green with an 8 to a wedge depending on how the roll out is with the iron.
The green is faced with a large bunker and the green is pretty shallow. I was able to hit an 8 over the trap and easily hold the green. Actually made the putt too, so some added bonus.
So club head speed is up, ball flight is better.
The problem is doing what I'm trying to do more frequently! And isn't that always the case?
