I was at Golftown today looking for a driver to increase my launch angle and made a unexpected discovery. I started with a FT-9 with prolaunch red stiff shaft and 11° of loft and had a LA of 9-10° so I upped the loft to a 13.5° G10 with TFC regular shaft and had the same 9-10° of launch, finally I...

Lately I have been fighting the hooks, mostly with my driver, 3 wood and rescue. Any tips out there? I know its tough but I have checked my grip, stance, alignment (all seem good) and there is something else going on.

Here's what I just don't understand yet in the game. Whenever I swing as slowly as I can, making sure my legs are as quiet as possible - almost not even moving at all, I strike the ball really well and I'm happy with the distance. But the second I try to use any force whatsoever, or rotate my...

Hi my god my putting really sks i went out 2 days of playing. my drives are good my second shot are OK cant get it to the green in 2 but my putting this is killing my game i practice on the practice green with 3 ball always hitting them from the same distance until i make my way around the cup. ...

Hey guys, I got looking around the forum and finally decided to join. Great site! But I have a couple of questions. I've been doing some research on some products to help me get an edge (I have a running bet with a friend about who can drive farther - kinda silly I know). I'm wondering which of...

Hi i went out for a game we didn't want to keep score its one og the last games i wanted to ask I'm pulling or hooking to the left. i cant seem to get back to center any ideas. Thanks

so i've been debating with myself on this topic.. but ball position and setup are what ive been thinking about lately. half way thru the year i was coming along well in my game, my friends even commented that my game had gotten noticeably better, and id be shooting an average of 100 consistently,...

How do you hit a ball off a hardpan lie? Had 2 lies on hardpan yesterday and both times, i hit it fat which cost me at least 3 strokes and a chance to break 80 :grumpy:

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.

I used to dread the beach but have developed a swing to get out of it 8 out of 10 times now. My only problem is how to regulate the distance consistently. I always come out short on the long bunker shot (or big green). How can one control the distance consistently - by how hard you swing, by...

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...

Ok, I play using the Nat Golf method. As I've mentioned before, I recently took a lesson with John Ollson, where I hit 9 irons. I'm still not perfect on the short irons, but I'm doing reasonably well. However, on my 3 and 4 hybrids, I seem to be battling a push slice. (I'm right handed) ...

:( Yesterday on my back nine on a par 3, hit my shot into the greenside bunker. Only issue was that it was at the edge of the bunker furthest from the green so I couldn't hit a normal bunker shot. When you can't hit behind the ball and take any sand behind the ball, how are you supposed to play...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2o1SYXaOHE um, i am trying to copy this swing but it's physically impossible for me to get my left arm straight at the highest point in tiger's backswing. my left arm bends when it's that high. i'm afraid if i go on the driving range and try this i'll injure...

I found a helpful site with free videos on almost every golf shot. If the video doesn't load all the way, just refresh the page. http://www.videojug.com/user/RickardStrongert The videos are easy to understand. I'm not sure if they are helpful for all you advanced golfers, but it has helped...

i'm playing decent golf this year - drive's good, short game good, putting good .............its my middle shots - 4,5,6,7,8,9 iron shots that i'm chunking like crazy and divots that are flying are massive.......they still go straight and distance is all right, but i know if i have cure the chunk i...

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: ...

On the first swing I took at last Sunday's 36 hole NCGT Ryder Cup event, I managed to irritate my sciatic nerve. As the game progressed it became more and more difficult to swing the club. I'm right handed and each backswing caused shooting pains down my right leg. So too on the follow through. ...

Hi, I was hoping for some feedback from any form members who have tried this product in the past. Does it work? Would you recommend making the investment? I am working on correcting a slice, but need some sort of training mechanism to committ the proper swing to my memory. Any information...

My biggest problem this year is my clubface open. So frustrating and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. :wallbash Maybe 1 out of 4 shots are good contacts, from 4 to my 8iron. It's straight but goes half the distance. I can hit a fairway wood 3 perfectly everytime. Any tips would...

Has anyone here ever completely rebuilt their swing? I just did a clinic this morning on the hopes of maybe eeking a a bit more reliability (sometimes cut it) and a few more yards out of my driver (hit it normally around 260ish). So I'm thinking, ok, here's where the instructor will tweek a...

In the last couple weeks I have started hitting my driver much more fluently and it has made my slice minimal. What I am finding now is that I sometimes 'pull'? the shot. Right off the tee I shoot it off right. (Im left handed). There is no hook or anything it just beamlines off to the right. ...

this year so far i have been having trouble with hitting irons off the tee box and fairways.I have been hitting behind the ball taking grass then the ball,im fine if the ball happens to roll up on a little grass where is like sitting on a tee but when its sitting flat i hit behind it.can someone...

Most clubs are going relatively straight. Driver for some reason starts left and never comes back. It's hit dead straight(left) and doesn't appear to be deviating at all until it as always hits trees on the left. Any ideas why this could be? My driver was working great now it's all over...

Do you guys always align to the right (right handed swing) to hit a draw or can you come from the inside enough to play it ?? My game is developing enough confidence to start working the ball a bit more...on purpose...and was wondering if this is needed. I have to align left or right for a fade or...

I think I've decided to spend my usual equipment budget on lessons this year. I had reconstructive surgery on my shoulder in the off season and now along with fighting an over the top move and i am struggling to get my swing speed up.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns =...

Hi I am a left handed Hitter and i am having trouble hitting the driver for a straight shot of the tee, it always slice to my left i am pretty sure i loose about 25 to 35 yrds right of the bat, i was wondering if anyone can suggest me tips or help me to stop that slice , i have try different...

So here's a video I took today and I can see some positives but a lot of negative too:). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhcwHgMcCrc problems - my wrists turn over at the start which puts me off plane and opens my club face - I could definitely cut off my back swing sooner - my moves down...

Hello, I am thirty years of age and have been playing the game of golf for nearly 20 years. Unfortunately my tee game is so poor, that I have abandoned my driver in place of a three wood. Even after having made this change I still slice almost all the time and lose a tremendous amount of...

Just wondering if anyone else here plays golf lefthand but is really right handed ? I'm probably missing some distance playing this way; but can't shift my weight properly from the other side.

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...

Hi, I am trying to lower my ball flight from my drive as I feel I lose a lot of yardage because of it. I mean seriously high that everyone comments on it. It doesnt matter on Tee height and My driver is only 9.5loft plus it doesnt matter on my driver because it happens even when I use a different...

After all these years of golfing I've never actually been taught or have heard about the proper (if there is one) ball positon when your using your putter. Is it more of a feel thing? Does it vary depending on the length of the putt? Anything will help! Thanks, Jordan

Looking for suggestions for tee selection at stonebridge for a 17 handicap player. Whites look short at 5500 yards but blues at 6100 with slope of 129 seems too challenging. Thoughts?

I'm probably similar to most of you who are aware that distance is created by a few factors,not the least of which is club head speed.I understand the physics of the swing but can't seem to develop the appropriate lag and it's really frustrating.I know I have the athletic ability etc.but can't seem...

I need to upgrade my driver this year and am curious if any forum members have tried this? Has it helped? Did you end up buying a different driver? Did you have the right driver? Any general thought. Thanks

This one is more of an observation than a tip. While I was at the range recently, I was observing several people swinging. It was obvious that the majority of these people were using a "pre-shot" routine. Some were brief, some were more drawn out. What was also obvious was that most of these...

Just as annoying as a bad shot is the sound of a playing partner blurting, "You lifted your head!" Although your helpful friend may, indeed, have seen your head rise, the problem really is too much body movement. Most instruction calls for keeping the head down or still, because doing so keeps...

Starting up a little thread that could/will help beginners and maybe even the more skilled learn tricks on how to do certain things. What I am trying to start here is a thread discussing what you personally think is the hardest thing to master in golf. This could be the grip, posture, the...

Lets just say that i have a slice... and if i were to say that it was totally caused by my clubs *cough* .. other than that being total bull ****... what could be the reason? How do I figure out what type of club I need :-/. I dont have teh money for getting 'fitted' into a set by a pro or...
