Was listening to the Hack it Out podcast (Mark Crossfield, @LouStagner, @ScottFawcettDECADE) with Hovland and they asked him about his “famous” double pump drive. Not to spoil the podcast for you, you should listen, but his answer was interesting. He said it started as a drill for him when he was very over the top. It helped him from being as much over the top, and gave him a few extra mph of clubhead speed.
Having not played in a while, I was way more over the top than normal (which is saying something) when at the range so figured I’d give it a try. I don’t have video to see if I was less over the top, but I definitely hit some bombs that were way straighter than what I was doing with a normal swing (I also hit some horrendous shots). PRGR also showed a pickup in clubhead speed. Definitely something I’ll try more of at the range to see if I can hone in on a feel to stop going over the top. Doubt I’ll bring it to the course, but who knows.
