In follow up to the thread about my unusual (but effective) putting stroke, I was thinking of other people who've adopted unusual techniques in their game...from necessity or experiment...and I thought of a couple.
1) There's a guy at our sister course who used to practice hitting his irons with one hand....he did it to learn feel and tempo...and about five years ago, he started hitting ALL his wedge shots with one hand.
We had to cut the shaft down to about 32" and change the lie about 4* upright...but the guy is downright deadly with that swing.
2) We have a lady who in her backswing with her woods, literally looks behind her in her backswing...she does a complete shoulder rotation, and her head moves WITH her shoulders....
More often than not she hits the ball a mile...but when she misses, boy, it's a doozy
