Brian,

This is a great thread idea! Where do I begin? How about we start with a listing of DFX specific books available.

1. Understanding White's DFX - Jimmy Sierra
2. Dancing With The DFX™ - Howard Garr
3. DFX Gold Methods - Clive James Clynick
4. DFX: From Beginner to Advanced - Clive James Clynick
5. Digging Deeper with the DFX - Jeff Foster

All are very good reference and will add to your knowledge base.

My favorite tip on the DFX is to drop that swing speed down down to 1 and move the coil very slowly. Slow the recovery time a bit, work all angles of a potentially good hit.

Thanks for starting this thread Brian!

Keep Swing'in
Jack

TIP:
When hunting you get a VDI of +10 to -10, showing at 5.5 inches or more. Cut a plug 2 inches and remove. Scan the plug and most likely find it in the plug. Can slaw and pencil erasers can be tricky no doubt. Hope this saves you some time in your outings.

Brian
