Hit a baseball with a wiffle bat Now hit one with a standard bat The 'lever' in the golf swing is BOTH the body, and the club, so at minimum a heavier person would have more mass in their 'lever' Of course there is a relationship between how heavy and how fast. Assuming the same speed, more mass = more distance. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
