I am a little surprised that no one mentioned the other side of the

of, a yard long stick. That's going to be a bitch to control.

Better would be a similar club that you swung, but that fired on
contact.

The club will come to an instant stop, and hurt your arm.

Not necessarily. It depends on the weight of the club and its swing
velocity versus the charge impulse and iplate weight. In fact..unless
it was a huge charge and a big assed plate..I doubt it would even stop
the club.



How about... place the explosive charge on the *back* side of the club
head, so that the head is driven into the ball.

One could not be a successful Leftwinger without realizing that,
in contrast to the popular conception supported by newspapers
and mothers of Leftwingers, a goodly number of Leftwingers are
not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just stupid.
