I was just wondering if there is a simple drill that i can do to prevent my club angle from coming down to steep. I have a pushslice with my driver not a banana slice. I can hit my short irons okay but take very big divots. And i can't seem to hit my hybrid clubs from the fairway or the rough....

If you are playing with a stiff shaft and your swing speed is not up to the standard swing speed of that particular shaft would this cause a slice? Or is the slice simply caused by a poor swing plane. I have tried the inside approach with my driver and haven't knocked it off yet but i still have a...

Just wondering if anyone has tried this place out, or if they know of anyone who has. Any feed back about this school would be appreciated. I am looking to get lessons for my wife.

Surely someone on this forum must have been to one of the golf schools listed on this site. I am looking to purchase a golf school package or some type of lessons for my wife. I am willing to pay between $200 and $250. Right now i am looking into visiting the iso-vibe school on Friday to see what...

This year has been very strange. Last year i was hitting my irons really well, for me. My favourite club was my 7 from about 150-160. this year right from day one I can't hit an iron if my life depended on it. I have purchased a Cobra strong 4 which i can hit around 175- 205 depending on how...

Does anyone know of a really good golf drill to flatten out my swing plane. Everytime I'm in scoring position I pull out my 8 or 7 or whatever and then WHAMMO I take a huge divot and my ball goes about 30 yrds. The more I do it the less confidence I have for the next shot. It is especially...

From the thread on Swing Speed, the topic has drifted to muscle memory, so I felt it appropriate to begin a new thread. Previous comments may be read at the end of the swing speed thread. Once you have practiced correctly or incorrectly enough, all that is necessary to perform your golf swing...

There have been a number of articles written about the importance of an On Plane swing, however, there are unfortunately, disagreements af what plane is important. From my research and experience, the shaft axis plane (SAP) is the key. If the golfer can achieve the position of having the left...

Most of us learn a golf swing manually (consciously), in order to hopefully be able to play the game on automatic,(subconsciously) on the course. What keeps a lot of us from playing better is that we play the game manually or consciously and this too often results in less than ideal shots. I...

Rather than veer off topic from the previous thread on what to look for in a pro, starting a new one. From jvincent 1. The clubhead need to be in the correct position WRT to the ball at impact. 2. The path of the clubhead in the moving in the correct direction wrt to the ball at impact. Note...

From Rick Smith on analyzing Mickelson's swing: "That old advice about driving the legs through impact just isn't right anymore. Driving your legs ...makes you lose balance and the bottom of the arc isn't consistent." GD April, '05, Pg 49. VJ and author on confidence. Author - ...

Food For Thought Questions were raised as to what a golfer should think about while they are making a shot on the course. Some say “think target” some say “think of nothing,” some say “commit to the shot,” and so on. There are dozens of mental game books, particularly the Bob Rotella series...

On Golf Central, Brandel Chamblee described and diagrammed Peter Jacobson's single plane swing. He traced Jake's hands going back with white dots and his hands coming down with red ones. Because the red dots were outside the white dots, he then explained this is an "over the top" swing, that...

What part of the golf ball are you looking at when you swing?

In a moment of extreme weakness and vulnerability I got lured into buying the February issue of Golf Digest magazine. $6.89, tax included, but it weighed a pound and a half. Actually, I did not see that it was a golf magazine, I just noticed “The Hot List, Uncensored,” on the cover and shelled...

A couple of pics for a forum member who is interested in seeing what ON PLANE means. Source: "The Secret to the Golf Swing" by John Dunnigan. www.golfbetterproductions.com The Hogan pic did not attach.:grumpy:

Played Greensmere black Tuesday and after 2 pars hooked a 6 iron left into the trees on #3, managed to make the fringe on the second and 4 putted for a triple!!! What would your immediate reaction be? In my younger days (much younger) it would have been swearing and the banging or throwing of...

golfin-buddy or anyone A plane is mathematically defined as a path of points on a flat surface extending infinitely in all directions. As all the motions in a golf swing are “circular” or rotational, the constant reference to planes seems strange. Planes then refer to positions at a particular...

Being a "The Golfing Machine" fan and also a fan of the work of both Mark Evershed and Mac O'Grady, who teach similar principles, I looked forward to reading "The Impact Zone," by Bobby Clampett, a student of TGM's Ben Doyle. The principles of any good golf swing, a. hitting down on the ball...

What is the last thing you think about before you swing?

Has anyone purchased these DVD's? If so, what is the basis premise of the instruction?

Many golfers, particularly older ones, suffer from the chipping yips to some extent, where the right hand seemingly flips the club head at the ball, causing fat/thin shots and occasionally, a double hit. An interesting solutions to the problem come from James Lepp, a former Canadian Tour player,...

been using a swingtip and the info i get from it states that i have an inside out swing with an open club face. I am left handed and my ball flight is somewhat strait or a bit to the right would not closing the face to square make the ball go way right not sure i can figure this out inside out with...

I have registered at about a 90-100 club head speed. I know a lot of the players on tour are between 120-150 depending on the club and the player. I also have a friend and his club speed is 125. How do you achieve/generate a quicker club head speed? Is it from the hips? From the hands.....I am...

When I am swinging smoothly and my backswing is parallel I tend to play my best golf. Lets think of this swing as a Jack Johnson song; makes no offense in the background and holds a very smooth tempo. This does go without saying. This golf swing can produce many GIR and quite a few pars in a...

Hey Guys, My g/f has decided she wants to start golfing and I wanted to ask you if anyone could recomend a relatively inexpensive place for lessons. She called Tee to Green and group lessons are $135 (4 sessions) and Haimes ($195) - 4, 2 hour sessions. I assume we are looking for an...

Well the dreaded has occured and I am finally, after 15 years of working with what I have learned to know, am going through a significant change. It may not seem like a significant change, but a slight modification to my existing swing is necessary to play better golf. I have been stuck between...

Hey Guys, I am in the process of reflecting on my year of golf and although I have made some significant progress in terms to my ball striking, and short game I have some concerns with my putting and my level of concentration during a round. First Question: How do you stay focused for...

I went to the Kevin Haime golf school at the OAC a few weeks ago because I heard the Team 1200 were down there and they mentioned that you could win a membership for a week if you won a putting challenge, my wife bought me 3 lessons for xmas so I though it would be a good idea to check it out. ...

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...

If you have an inside approach to the ball, but are "getting stuck" or blocking your shots to the right, should they be straight out to the right or should they slice? I feel as though I am not coming over the top yet I still slice every now and then. But if getting stuck or blocking shots...

And want to teach me how to hit a driver relatively straight? Getting real tired of having to aim left to play my tendancy and then have the odd one go dead straight or be pulled a bit. :rolleyes :thumbsdow

Every club except the driver, I hit off the heel or shank it. Last year had a battle of the shanks for about three weeks. This was caused to years of very bad mechanics. I took some instruction and the problem seemed to have gone away. But now over the last couple of weeks this whole heel/shank...
