I usually aspire to break 90, and I often shoot 88/89. But I sometimes score in the high 70’s low 80’s. My bain is the 39/49 or 49/39 game, usually a result of a 40% fairways hit in regulation (FIR) record. <o:p> </o:p> I have fixed the FIR with a KZG driver. I am now more like 85%. ...

I'm trying to fix my slice/fade when I hit my driver. This only happends when I hit the driver. I'm pretty straight with my irons, up to my 5. My driver is a Ping Si3 with a reg flex and 9* loft. I shoot right, and the ball either starts straight, then goes right as the ball reaches its peak...

Just curious how everyone swngs here. Upright, Flat, in the middle or I have no clue? I'm somewhere between I have no clue and flat. Thanks, Rob

Someone please help me and give me some putting tips yeterday i hit 14 greens in regulation and still shot like and 83 my putting is awfull

I have been having problems staying consistent and straight with my driver. I just got fit for a new shaft so hopefully that should help, but I don't think it will cure my constant slice/fade. I find it wierd because I hit my irons dead straight with a bit of a fade sometimes. I am a great ball...

Anyone bought this 3 DVD set? Disc 1 More Power Disc 2 More Consistency Disc 3 More Up and Downs Worth getting? Reviews at Amazon.com seem very good. Five reviews, all five out of five stars. Thanks.

I am a decent putter but cannot read greens to save my life. I find that I either over or under read the break on putts, especially on those middle distance putts( 10-20 feet). On long putts I do a pretty good job of reading the greens but because I don't expect to make the putt, if I am a little...

So I went for a lesson today and this guy was AWESOME. He talks about things and relates them to things you know about and are good at. Anyway, today was just a trail to test him out but I really liked him. Booked 10 more for the rest of the year. Anyway, we worked on many things in a short...

Have been fighting the shanks my two rounds and one range session this year so far. Have never had them this bad before (went through a whole medium bucket at the range hitting nothing but shanks). Also fighting popups with the driver. Any drills to help flatten out the driver swing, and any...

I have a 10.5 degree driver and I have LOTS of high slices. Would lowering the degree of loft to say 8.5 or 9 or even 9.5 make a big difference? Thanks,

Hi, I'm looking into getting more wedges but my question is how useful are having 4 wedges? I just feel it's kinda redundant like how would you know which one to use from say 60 yards? Also if you have a GW, SW & LW do you EVER use your PW and if so when? Thanks,

Ok..not sure if this is the correct folder for this thread but Dan you wont mind moving it if its not right? :laughing: ... eeeh ....ya.. moving on... So I had a few preseason sessions at the driving range getting use to my new driver (touredge - see signiture) and i was getting worried because...

I've been trying to figure it out for myself but google is not my friend. Searched the site as well and can't find anything. I'm hearing that tempo is so important in a golf swing but can't figure out why. What is it? why is it important and what can do you to get it, fix it, improve it.... ...

I video taped my swing (in my living room :hyper:) and I've found the big hiccup in my swing is that I don't turn my hips enough into contact. I'm well behind and don't see the classic 'two cheeks' at contact.. I get 1 cheek (a fine cheek it is but regardless) anyone know some drills for me to get...

If any of you have questions pertaining to golf and fitness, I'd be more than happy to help.

im only 15 yers old and i have a swing with my driver currently on averge 95ish mph do you have any recomondations on shaft flex.

Hi everyone, we'll I'm not exactly going pro but I am working with Canada's National Golf Coach. Henry Brunton, to see how good an average person can be with top instruction, good equipment, etc. There has always been the argument, are professionals that good because they have great talent or...

Anyone else wondering the above about their swing? I haven't played since end of December and well I feel embarassed to tell people I enjoy golf as I have no swing like I have no idea what I'm doing! ANyone else lose there feel?

For those of you that clicked here thinking you were getting a coupon for a free lesson. Uhhhh? No We seem to have alot of knowledgeable people here, so I thought I would post this from Sunday and look back to see what comments or advice I get. PS hey what can I say, times are tough, who can beat...

Well I signed up today with a local Pro. I will be getting video with my lesson. I will be getting a 3 lesson package for 150 bucks. Looking forward to getting my swing dismantled and put together again. Wish me luck! Seriously though I feel this will be a very positive change.

Ive heard good things, anyone care to share their exp. and give me some feedback?

Ok boys and girls, Was out at Keven haimes on the weekend hitting my new driver outside for the first time this year and wow was I ever slicing this baby. Any drills i can do in my living room to try and stop coming over the top with my driver?... FYI i don't slice my irons.. just the big dog

Last season i saw steady improvement in my game through the early part of the year to where i was down to an 8 handicap from a 17 but by the mid part of the season i found my game going down slowly to where i finished the year at a 9. (i know its not a huge drop but you never like to go backwards)....

I have come to notice over a few video's of myself that i seem to have a hard time finishing my swing witch i am starting to think is whats causing me to leave the club face open. Now keep in mind I am a righty but play left ( and no thats not my problem! :-) )but I have noticed that i am alot less...

I'm fairly new to the game. I can make good contact with the ball and learned how to square my club face (finally!). I can hit it straight with my driver 240-250 yards off the tea. However, people have commented that I have lazy wrists, that I don't sufficiently cock them at the top of my swing. ...

I heard something very interesting when I was at the Golf Show. An instructor was talking about how to place your clubhead behind the ball. He said all golfers create on or two types of centrifugal (sp?) force. You either pull away from the ball during your swing or lean forward. I'm not talking...

Well winter is officially here. I don't know if this is the right place to put this, but it didn't fit anywhere else. Anyone have any specific workout routines the follow to help their game? For about 11 months now i have been doing a very general upper body(chest, arms, shoulders and back) and...

There are probably a lot of theories out there about the proper grip to use. I, personally, do not interlock, or overlap. I was wondering if this will hinder my game, or is the most important thing to have a comfortable grip, that feels natural? Thanks in advance.

If anyone is looking for video instruction go to the google video site. Lots of short lessons and many are free.:golfing_b video.google.com

A buddy of mine resides in Arizona and golfs all year round. He has been practicing the drills in Tour Tempo and swears by them. Any one have any thoughts/experiences to share? Moochie

Hi, If anyone has any experience with tutorial DVDs, which Golf tutorial dvd would you recommend a newbie, someone who had no golfing experience yet. Thanks in advance.

This is somewhat a continuation of my “did I really put 70 yards onto my drive” thread. Last time I said I was about to start taking some sessions with a personal trainer and they would be golf specific exercises. Well I’ve just finished the 3^rd and final session so I’m here to report...

This isn't really a direct question about mechanics but more of an indirect one, what books did you read about golf that you think really improved your game? What books have you been told about by other people and saw improvments in their game? Looking to get my first golf book (second...

I was taking lessons at golftown (downtown toronto) over the winter and I went into to pay for some more lessons as I had gone back home for a while and he told me he is moving down south. I really liked this guy. Went through three guys before I found one that I like. I really hope the next guy...

How do you go about creating more lag in your swing? Is this a concious thing or just a matter of years of practice? Anybody got any funky drills or practice tips? I want to create more distance, but i'm never going to be able to swing like Sean Fister or the like. So i'm looking for...

Does anybody out there have any experience with the Medicus dual hinge Driver and/or 5 iron...any thoughts? If you could only get one of the 2, which one would it be and why? Thanks, -PBC

I used to try to sweep the ball off the ground with my club and would always hit the ground first and then the club would either take a chunk of grass out and then hit the ball or it would hit the grass, bounce back up and hit the ball in its equator. I've watched the pros hit the ball in slow...

Quick question. I just bought a new scotty cameron newport beach putter. It is a standard 35 inches. It is too long for me and my right hand index and thumb are actually on the shaft when I putt. I love the way it putts and I am afraid that if I cut it, it will change the dynamic of the club. Any...
