so how do you keep these supposed arms noodley, and use your muscles at the same time? Its either or surely, hitting hard with arms that are pumped up, or noodley arms not using the muscles at max.
hmm, all good points, so why do all the commentators refer to big forearms, as they did with Casey all weekend, as to the reason he smacks it miles
A golf club isnt that heavy where huge muscles are needed. Big muscles and swing speed really dont have that much correlation. Swing speed is about arc, width, and the moment stored energy is released. Look at Sean O'hair, 5'11. 160 pounds, and a 120 mph swing speed. Technique and flexibility go much farther in golf than brute strength as long you arent in 7 inch rough.
did you see Michele Wie's stats this weekend? averaged 291 yards with the driver.
