But you should be able to take a pitching wedge out and hit it 50, 60, 70, 80.

You should be able to hit at all those distances.

That's called shot making.

The great players, like Hogan, he would hit every club in the bag during a practice around 25 times,

and he hit them different trajectories, left to right, right to left, high and low.

And he could stand out there and with his whole set of clubs and hit a green about 150, 160,

with every club in the bag, including the driver.

So he had the ability to speed it up or slow it down and still make a legitimate swing and hit the ball flush.

That's what's missing today.

If a person would take the clubs that they have and practice with them and use them for

different distances, you'd be surprised they could literally eliminate some of the clubs in their

bag and still be able to play without any problem.

You're making a basic assumption that we practice.

That's what you're going to hear in today's episode with Tony Manzoni.

As most of the USA and actually so much of the world is now on lockdown due to the pandemic

podcast going, I know I would appreciate the taste of normality while listening. Okay, you got me. Here we are.
