RE: ShopTalk: Constant frequency

[Lloyd Hackman]

Doug   I find 10 to 15% of the players I fit are flat liners. There was a time when I thought every one should be. Being a flat liner has nothing to do with tempo. The main reason that people are flat liners is that they take every club back the same distance rather then taking each club back different distances as Hogan suggests in how to play golf ( with stepped clubs). By taking each club back a different distance  (shorter as the club gets shorter) the player adjusts his swing timing with the frequency or stiffness of the club. Taking each club back the same distance with the same swing produces a requirement for the same frequency in each club. This is a much easier technique for a new golfer to adapt to then the Hogan method and is also better for consistency in your average player.   llhack     ----- Original Message ----- From: Doug Clark To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 9/28/2003 6:03:07 PM Subject: ShopTalk: Constant frequency I tried to look in the Yahoo group archives for this, but I can't get the list to show up. Just some gibberish characters. Is there anyone here who has had any success fitting people with flat-line, constant-frequency sets of irons? I know it comes up from time to time and the usual thought is that the long irons will be stiff, the shorts will be soft, etc. But the idea doesn't die so I'm wondering if anyone has found success with it. And if so, does it work best with a particular swing tempo or what? Thanks, Doug Clark
