Thanks for all the input. I am going to try the handle hold longer option first. As for what I was doing at 34. Best tournament Score has been 3 at 11.25. I have run 11.25 4 times in my life but never had a problem getting to 2. 12M was consistent for me 5 years ago but has been getting harder and harder. When I am on, it is a piece of cake. But if I get in trouble, it is hard to recover. I can run 13 all day every day, warm cold, wind, cross wind. At 32 MPH I can screw up at any ball at any turn and still run through 35. But at 38, just getting to 2 seems like a chore. Overall, thanks to you all for the insights. I will let you know how it goes! I am starting with the Bruce Butterfield's suggestion since in that scenario, everything else stays the same.
