OnOff DriverFinally I had a chance to purchase a used OnOff driver off eBay. This club is really hard to find. At first glance, it is such a beauty, 2008 Plus model, black oxide finish.
OnOff requires clubmakers to be certified before they could be official club distributors. I understand why after I received the driver head. The hosel is designed to use special ferrule, custom ferrule with sleeve and collar so clubmakers could align, adjust the loft/lie and further revise the club-shaft orientation precisely.
It requires to use something like this: Callaway Ferrule

Why Golf is so much like Stock?
1. Patience is the most torturing word
2. The harder you try, the lesser the result
3. Control is everything
4. It is done between two extreme, balance is the key
5. Risk versus Reward is always proportional
6. For every inch of success, it requires tons of hard work
7. What you ignore now is always what haunt you later
8. Paid attention to the non critical issues, even though with hard work, result is minimum
9. You can always cheat yourself
10. The playing field is always changing, hardly any duplication

R9 3.20.2009
Taylor Made really got my attention. Its R9, with FCT and MWT technology, 24 combination of adjustable face angle, lie angle, loft, draw and fade bias, wow.
A driver that transforms to any kind of adjustment with a ranch, wow. I already do all these different shots with one fixed face, lie, loft and weighting parameter with my current driver. Still, a driver that could adjust its lie angle? wow. Think about it, lie angle adjustment in driver. wow.
TM is also not advertising better distance or more superior performance, it is very careful in its advertising campaign. Though, it does say it allow 75 yards side to side variant with altering the adjustment above. wow, 75 yards.
Its website is awesome, promoting the driver with a launch date, wow.

the Hands
I am a slicer. I thought I was, but like the old asthma, ball slicing never go away. I may able to suppress the symptom, but it never disappears.
While the right side produces the source to power, control of ball flights, swing plane, it is the left hand (forward) that determines the direction, the ball spins, the follow-through.
Holding the left grip too tight, I would have exerted too much force on the whole left arm which will prevent the arms to fold in at the elbow, this would lead to an wide open arm-pit, if not a chicken-wing follow through.
Exerting too soft force on the left hand, the right hand may overpower the left side, causing a premature hand supination. Right arm will cross the left arm from above, leads to a closed face or a too flat follow through.
Bending forward on the left wrist may cause club face to increase in loft, shortening the distance if not a thinned or skulled shot.
Left hand and arm, is in the driver seat of my golf swing, which has been unfortunately put in a passive role all this time.
