Good thread, it helped me today. I keep breaking through barriers, nothing amazing, but bumping out my distance a little each time out. As is gospel in ball golf since Bobby Jones, grip pressure is a fundamental, it should be 2 or 3 pressure out of 10, or holding a little bird in the hand for maximum distance. (Why reinvent the wheel?) Today I was reacting to yesterday where my shoulder was starting to fatigue and strain after about 30 hard throws. So today, after about 40 throws, I just really went loosy goosy limp with EVERYTHING above the belly. No strain, no strong arming, no holding it firm, just letting everything whip at about 90% effort. Even though I was tired, (I'm 62 years old), I parked the last two drives at 10 feet under two baskets at 305 and 337 feet level no wind. Not bad for a 11 month newby. I highly recommend studying the throws of Sias Elmore, the chubby pro. I love that guys move. He's a slow arm pro, seems like its just a hang on pull, gives me hope, and there is no tension, no rush, just a 450 foot pull every time. He approaches the tea pad at 45 degrees sideways.
