I have struggled with pulls all season last year. I always thought I was coming over the top somewhat as the cause. I recently saw a video of my swing and in slow motion I saw that my path was fine from the inside. I also remember that on the swing (pull) that I checked my hands and noticed my...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjVcfvKEP1E This is a video a buddy took of my Tee shot in west virginia last weekend. 4 wood - left to right ball flight - 225 yards approx. this is probably one of my better examples for you guys to take a look at. So I value everyones opinion. So let...

Hi there, This is my first post and sorry for my English, i'm from asia. I just started playing golf for a month. I've been practicing iron 6 and i've got about 150 yards distance. The thing is, when I tried half swing, i would get about 120-130 yards but ball flight was twice as low as my full...

Just as the title says. I've always had a high ball flight. All clubs including driver, but not my 4 wood. I don't mind this so much with my 9 through wedges but would love to get the rest down some. I'm sure i'm losing 15-25 yards on most shots and probably more with the driver. Any insights would...

Does anyone have any personal experience in dealing with Driver Yips? I've barely played the last few years as a result of the driver yips. I've tried to play a little more this year but despite what happens at the range, once I tee it up on a course, I inevitably hit it off the planet. I'm...

Right now I can hit the fade shot. The distance is from 240 to 260 yards. My ball will roll forward. But the ball should roll to the right if it's the fade. Few times I hit the draw shot but my ball roll to the left. I never know how I hit these draw shots. My ball will go to the left or...

So, what putting and chipping methods do you subscribe to? How many of you are arc putters versus pils method? Did you start with one and change to another? and did you change putters to aid with this change? Chipping do you use the more robotic method of Pelz or do you use the more feel type of...

been playing golf for four years. simple as it my seem i've always thought that golf was simply about getting a ball into a hole. why do people worry about the swing when its obviously not what the game's about? I had just recently posted on distance but i can score under 90 though i've only...

Anybody ever priced those swing speed meters? Where can you get a cheap one or a good one, or any one, for that matter? spidey

Anyone have any insight for me on how to do this. Where the ball should be in stance etc. Really killing me in my short game. Thanks

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...

I thought I would pass this great drill on. If you practice Mr. Penicks perfect swing in slow, I mean super slow motion. LIke when you think your going too slow, go slower!! You will develop the muscle memory to repeat this perfect swing on the golf course. Things to remember. Stay...

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 just picked up a hybrid 3. Everything I'd read and heard about them says it should be easier to hit than a long iron, but I'm having trouble adjusting to my stance and setup compared to my long irons. The hybrid is an Adams A3OS 3, loft/lie/length: 19/59.25/40.5 (specs: ...

So i went for my first of my fall learning lessons at Golftown and the first thing we looked at was my grip. I learned that I was not gripping the club properly and oh boy did it feel awful at first. we touched on set up and pre shot routine. I barley even hit balls today. I was using a interlock...

Hey guys I had a miserable time putting last weekend as I couldn't figure out the break on the putt and so had some issues finding the right line...it was especially frustrating because I hit most of the par 3 greens in one :wallbash ...anyways I'd like to hear a bit on how most of you line up your...

Stumbled upon this thread called 'The Ultimate Practice Routine' started by teaching instructor: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/93/golf/ultimate-practice-routine-992787/ Has anyone tried anything like this? I'm thinking that I don't practice my short game nearly enough, and this year I'll be...

Hi There, I was at the range today with a guy from work who used to play cricket for a long time and is now trying to take up golf. And boy is the cricket swing ever evident in his golf swing. His take away looks OK, but when he goes to swing through the ball he almost has the shaft of the...

So I switched swings again... The question is which is better from everyones opinion for a repeatable accurate contact. I know i"m not going pro lol or ever going to make a $ from golf. I Just want to start working on something that will help me enjoy the game more so what I'm curious is this. ...

So i've been struggling all year in most aspects of the game but especially with Driver off the tee and putting. Last Saturday we played Equinelle and I hit a bucket of balls before going out making one swing change, lessening my right hand(bottom hand) grip pressure by about 60% as i realized i...

Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone has used the Medicus? Does it help? I am a lefty and I can hit the ball 250yds avg, however my swing is very awkward and not technical at all. I started playing golf 2.5yrs ago and have never had a lesson. With that being said, my swing is inconsistent...

I recently picked up a copy of Ben Hogan's 5 lessons which I have enjoyed a lot. How ever I do have a few questions with regards to the book which I would like to ask. Any comments would be appreciated. 1)Elbows - Hogan states that at address elbows are tucked in and pointing directly at the...

I was wondering if anyone else has read this book. I just finished and took some nice advice from it, but I'd like some opinions or reviews. Thanks.

Hey guys, Maybe someone can help I am sure this is an equipment issue, I recently bought a set of mizuno mp-33's, I love the feel and hit them straight and well but short. i used to have wilson fat shaft 2's and my distances for example 9 iron was 135-145, 5 iron 190-200 off the tee. With the...

Check this video out, have been doing this to help me control the fade and draw, or just to hit it straight, i find this to be the greatest simplest tool to help cure slice or hook. my bad guys http://www.videojug.com/film/golf-how-to-cure-a-slice-the-3-ball-drill

I am a beginner golfer who has played somewhere around 14 rounds of golf so far with a best score of 100. Beyond all of the regular problems that are associated with newbie golfers' consistencies, I have some issues with distance. Typically my 7 iron only flies around 115 yards. My 3 irons flies...

Hi, can anyone please recommend a golf instruction video/dvd for beginners? I am a hands on player who just started in a month and i would like to learn it the proper way. The video should consist of the following: hitting, chipping and putting. Thank you in advance.

:thumbsup For the new golfers out there and mid to high handicappers these videos are a MUST WATCH !!!!:thumbsup :thumbsup The two videos from instructor Martin Hall are terrific. Some of you may have seen them on the golf channel. He explains the hinging, create pressure to the ball and...

I noticed my buddy's putting stroke starts with a forward press and he's a pretty good putter. I think I also saw Annika doing this when she won the US Open. Can someone tell me the purpose of this move. It is just a trigger to start the putting stroke?Thanks.

I have one major swing problem (not to mention all the small ones) that I can't figure out how to solve. When I am using a sand or lob wedge on a less than full shot I will about half the time shank the living daylights out of it. I have tried to swing more upright assuming that I was getting to...

Hey guys, I've recently come to the conclusion that my 'R' flex shaft is too active through impact and is causing too many wayward drives. The shaft in question is a UST V2 75g R flex shaft with 2.2 torque. I'm looking at actually replacing the whole club as it's 5 years old any ways, but my...

I'm either confused (and possibly dazed), or I've actually heard conflicting advice. I was watching Gary Player on "Playing with the Pros" last night, and he mentioned that at the top of the backswing, you DO NOT want your hands laid off such that your right palm (speaking for the rightie golfer),...

So i have been serious issues with my driver lately and after reading the forums and suggestions i tried to book a lesson with another pro closer to home as i live in the east end. He was recommended on here by a few members and after 4 attempts via e/mail and basically being ignored i thought i...

Hello everyone I am a 26 handicap and have been improving each year I play (3 years). I only manage to play about 10-15 times a year though. Yesterday I was so frustrated I nearly picked up my ball and walked off the course. I am hitting it fat, probably the second most destructive shot in golf...

"The best ball flight in golf is a power fade. A draw-type swing with the face a shade open at impact. My whole career I aimed at the left edge of the rough and swung as hard as I could. I never worried about the ball going left. I've had my problems, but driving the ball long and straight has...

Hey all - wondering if anyone has ever had the chip yips? I have been struggling for a couple of years now and it is really frustrating me. I have starting to chip from the right side (I'm a lefty) and that is working but it limits my short game as I only carry a single right handed club with me...

Hi everyone I'm a new member.I've been playing golf for about 2 years now and this year I have a really grown a passion for it,I work at a driving range and practices almost everyday.Obviously I'm nowhere as good as many others but I'm making good progress.I don't have trouble hitting my irons but...
