A little while ago I did a tip on "The Bump" and how important it is to make good solid contact with the ball at impact. Well, as it happens, that inspired our Director of Club Fitting, Lynn Griffin, to go even a little deeper. He wanted to emphasize the third element I touched on...club length.
In this video Lynn gives an excellent demonstration of "The Bump" and what it actually looks like. Lynn's emphasis is on club length, especially the driver. He shows that if the driver is too long it's physically impossible to "bump" which is key to power and distance in the Surge Swing.
Club length also has to do with your ability to consistently hit the sweet spot with the driver. If the shaft is long, it's harder to control and lack of control means the possibility of more errors. Lynn uses his own "8/10 rule." You have to hit the ball in the sweet spot 8 out of 10 times. If that's not the case, check your club. (Of course my personal rule is 10/10, thank goodness Lynn can take some kidding.)
"The Bump" is power. "The Bump" is distance. Don't swing without it.
Keep it vertical,
The Surge!

This is the third time I'm
This is the third time I'm asking; do you measure the driver length from the ground up or from the hozzle?

Steve(oops), I took frequent breaks and I think I emptied about 4 bottles of water out of the fridge in the swing house office.It was a typical southern summer day.I think Doc estimated that I hit about 200 balls for the session.

Thanks Robert and it's
Thanks Robert and it's appreciated.ÃÂ I guess we see what we want to see.ÃÂ Also, looking at me more from the back rather than side can also distort things but I'm no where near laid off particularly as I got to the top of the back swing.ÃÂ As I said above, from that point as I start the bump and I'm talking, the club does come to the inside.ÃÂ Hey, isn't that what it's supposed to do?ÃÂ Some folks want to argue with a stop sign or just to prove that someone else is wrong or possible have an axe to grind with me for some reason.ÃÂ It's ok.ÃÂ We know what is correct and what is going on in reality.

Jim, not real clear what your question is. Be a little more clear as to what is hapening for you and then more answers will come back.
