Default arm workouts and distance...follow-up
i'll start off by reminding a few that i'm here looking for answers. i'm not trying to prove anything and this isn't about my overall driving distance, so take this for what it is...a simple search for an explanation of why my distance off the tee increased dramatically (and suddenly) shortly after beginning arm workouts.

i had family in town last week and most of our local courses have been closed for over-seeding so this is the first week i've been able to get to the range/course to try to figure things out. these are my conclusions, they may be right or wrong...but this is what i have surmised.

the arm workouts by themselves are obviously not directly responsible for all the distance gained but i do believe they are responsible for a small portion and indirectly responsible for the rest. what i believe are directly responsible are three things...i'm getting a slightly longer backswing, more wristcock at the top, and increased control and coordination throughout allowing me to contact the center of the club face much more consistently. previous to my arm workouts i was slightly limiting my backswing to gain control. it didn't cost me any real distance so it was a worthwhile application. i think subconsciously over my last few rounds i allowed my backswing get longer because i haven't been getting that out-of-control feeling at the top. as my wristcock, backswing, and control peaked the distance "miraculously" came with it.

btw, i did try to get on a launch monitor weekend before last. my local pga store was in the process of upgrading their system and asked me to come back this week. cool clubs wanted $100 to hit my driver on their monitor and i thought that was a bit rediculous...i don't need the information that bad! i'll try to get back to the pga store when i can.

anyways, i'm enjoying my newfound distance and now need to spend some time practicing distance control for the sub-100yd shots since that's where i've been spending a lot more of my time on the course.

good luck with your game!

Be sure to let us know when you are able to get on the monitor, I am very interested in the numbers.
