Finally I took the plunge and bought a Nike CPR Hybrid wood (replaces 3-4 iron). I got a good deal from rockbottomgolf.com for $80 (elsewhere it is at least $100). It is a lot easier to hit than the 3, 4, even the 5 irons. The big head and low center of the gravity corrects small inaccuracies and still provides reasonable hit. Even if it is not a perfectly centered hit, the ball still goes fairly straight and decent distance. When hit right, it easily sails past the 150 yard marker.

I continue to find new things to work on my golf swing. While adding new variables to the mechanism of the swing, I sometimes will forget old ones. For example the new thing I’m working on right now is the synchronization of the hip-turn and the down-swing of the arm. If the hip-turns to quickly, the shot goes to the right, otherwise left. And the old thing I’m keeping an eye on is at the top of the back-swing the right elbow should be down and right shoulder blade pointing toward target.
