Anyone have any drills to get that mentality out of the system? I'd really like to smooth my swing and tempo out, but just can't seem to get by that urge to knock the living snot out of the ball. Am heading down one road now and I'll report back on my results, but anyone have any ideas on how...

Ok so no jokes about the Lefty part being my problem! :) I seem to be having a hard time keeping MY right wrist(left wrist for the rest of you) flat at the top of my back swing, i tend to cup it, which is causing me issues and power loss. Any drill you can think of to help with this? Thanks for...

I didn't want to 'jack Geoff's thread so I will do it here. BC Mist, you critique this drill but you seem to say the exact same thing as Greg does. http://members.cox.net/gregjwillis/LESSON1.htm Greg's main points: - strongly advocates a bent back right wrist - same as you (correct?)

Hi, After having a little trouble at the start of this season with a weak slice and a huge loss of distance, I came here to share my problems and, thanks in part by your tips, I'm now hitting the ball more solid than ever. However, the main thing that made me hit the ball more solidly was...

Need help with a couple of things. 1) Need help with a drill to keep my front foot from "spinning out" during the downswing and follow through. I flare my front foot (right handed golfer) at bit at address, but it becomes more flared by the time I'm done my swing. And I think its causing me to...

Is anyone else out there having trouble chipping around the greens from "last years" dead matted down rough. My chipping has been horrible from this rough as it seems to grap my club and I either hit it across the other side of the green or barely get it out of the rough. I have made an effort to...

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...

I was at GT the other day and tried the Burner driver. The sales associate said I needed a stiff flex shaft based on my swing speed avg around 100 -105. Today, I was at NB in Orleans and tried the R7 Draw. It had a regular shaft. The rep recommended not to go with a stiff based on watching how I...

Gday guys! Been working on my game alot recently, as playing a few of the tougher courses in the area have really shown where my game is at. At my local course, I shoot between 73 and 85 on a 68par almost any given day, (depending on the tee placements) but struggle to break 90 on the tougher...

Hi, Been golfing a long time. Live in downtown area. Looking for a good instructor who isn't going to reconstruct but work with what I've got, preferably in the short game area (within 100, chipping/pitching, sand), preferably close to downtown (as opposed to Kanata). Thx for any info,

I got my set or Taylormade RAC os2 irons over the winter and have been hitting them at the range recently. It looks like I'm hitting them on the toe quite a bit. Does this mean my irons need to be adjusted in lie? Or should I be moving a touch closer to the ball. Thanks!!

I've heard that swimming regularly develops muscles that are bad for your golf game. Has anyone else heard this? Since my knees are buggered up, I thought I'd take up swimming. Mind you, I don't think my game has anywhere to go but up.:lmfao

Bobby Clampett and Andy Brumer are coming with a new book that will be published in April. From the table of contents, it looks like it is gonna be 'TGM for Dummies'... I am posting this for the golfers who got intimidated by the little yellow book (The Golfing Machine) Looks very...

How many times have I stood over a short putt, looked at the ball, looked at the hole and the path I wish the ball to travel and said to myself, “I’m going to miss this!” How many times have I, instead of backing off and regaining my composure, not converted what I consider a “gimmee?” (Baby talk...

At the 2nd annual "Better Golf Through Technology" hosted by iClub and MIT, Tomasi and Suttie presented an interesting “No Back Swing or Back Swing” research...wonder if it will "catch on"...especially for beginners? One less thing to worry about perhaps? :redface

I saw a tip on the Golf Channel regarding the proper "action" of the front (left for righties) knee. I've since discovered that I don't do what is suggested... in fact I might be doing the opposite, but I wanted to gather thoughts as to the importance of the following: The suggestion is that...

Hi, I've been using a drill recently that greatly improved my swing path. When you think of the towel drill, you may think about the one using the towel under the armpit. Mine is completely different... I've been hitting pratice balls in my basement for most of the winter and noticed the...

i was wondering if i can just go there, get on their monitor, tryout a few shafts and the like without buying anything....yet....i'd like to see what the ideal makeup for me is on the driver. is the monitor pretty much representative of the real swing result outdoors? just to see what is good...

After fighting an Over the Top, Hit Reflex type swing for 4 years, I have decided to take the winter and make a swing change using a single axis type swing. I have been making good progress but have following question for the forum: Should I practice with only one club until the new swing is...

Gday guys, took some vid, any suggestions are greatly welcomed. keep in mind i've only be golfing for about 8 months :D http://www.absolutebowling.com/uploads/golf.wmv First shot is My friend, second shot is me. :D

Just wanted to solicit some thoughts on whether I would be better off to get a membership at a practice facility or a 9 hole course? I work beside the Marshes and the cost is the same for both. Mike

ok, I know why, 'cause it's not a slice...still Many of thegreatest golfers of all time moved the ball left to right, Jack, I think Tiger favours a fade, can't think of any others off hand but I wouldn't be surprised to find out 90% of the top guns were fade over draw, oh yeah there's always...

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...

Art Of Putting by Stan Utley "In a welcome change from mechanistic and overly complex putting systems, Utley breaks down the putting stroke to a simple, natural motion" "A breakthrough approach to putting from the PGA tour's premier short-game guru" I am a fan of feel, and of keeping it...

Why do you think a golfer should be hitting the inside quadrant of the ball? What are your opinions? Here is mine... If a (good) golfer swings on an inclined plane (a lot of golfers swing on a bent plane trying to hit the back of the ball) and the bottom of the arc of the sweetspot of the...

If a golfer's downswing plane is steeper than his/her backswing plane, would you say this golfer has an over-the-top move? And why??? Please note that although the backswing and downswing planes are inclined at different angles, they both rest on the same straight line on the ground...

Wow! just got the book Golf Swing Secrets and Lies, by Michael Hebron. BC MIST recommended this book quite a while ago but it was never anywhere I had looked for it. I finally ordered it online and what a book. It is a large hardback with glossy full colour. The info. will take me a loooonng...

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...

What's the key stat for your best scores.

Hello forum need some help on my swing At The Top. I have been basing my swing on a book called 'Such A Little Secret' by J. Wilson Barrett. His theory is that a good golf swing can be based on the masters of the past - Harvey Penick, Tommy Armour and Bobby Jones. It's a very good book. ...

I have noticed that, every once in a while, I feel like my golf hard disk has been reformatted. What I mean is that I start hitting the ball like I have never swung a club before. I make good progress during a few practice sessions then go through a session where all goes bad. The next day, all is...

Hi.. Need some advice on winter golf lessons, want to get more serious about my game, especially on my short game... absolutely dying to get golfing! Any suggestions??

Gday all. Went to the local pro the other day to get this slight left hook out of my irons, and he noticed that my weight is distributed too far to the toes, especially on my left foot (im right handed) which is causing me to rise up a little during backswing. Do you guys have any quick...

I have to know do you think Utley or Peltz is correct? Also what is more important Confidence or Knowledge when you have a 3footer for par.

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. ...

I try to do some form of drills on my full swing a few times per week and practice putting and chipping as well. Problem is that I have a short attention span (especially when putting in my basement). How long do practice sessions have to be in order to be effective? All thoughts appreciated. ...

Tips for the dreaded pitch shot http://www.wishongolf.com/etechreport/2004/september/index.html#art3

Gday all! At the moment, I'm finding that while my Long tee shots are becomming straighter and straighter, (almost to the stage that I rarely shank a drive anymore) My Irons are becomming worse and worse. My Swing is becomming smoother the more I practise and play, and I find it easy to...

I run the Accuracy Golf Training e-School and I'm looking to put together a Customized golf school for executives. I have a few questions for the members of the golf forum. 1) Does anyone know of an excellent golf school that puts together custom programs exclusively for high level executives...

How To Feel A Real Golf Swing by Bob Toski and Davis Love, Jr. "We believe that when you feel the freedom and rhythm of the proper swinging motion for yourself, you will never lose it; you will realize, like a child on a swing, that surrender to the swinging motion is the ultimate control and...

So I know this thread has probably been done before, not the post pictures of youself on the golf course thread, but if you got pics of you swinging a club lets see..., i didnt see any thread like that... im bored and i figured out a way to post pics onto a website so i dont have to worry about...

My best round in Canada has been 90 from the blue tees at Maple Ridge: par 72, 6204 yards, rating 68.8/slope 115. My goal for next season is to play at least ten 18-hole rounds, and to shoot substantially lower than 90. I have decided to putt left hand low, with the arc style advocated by...

I recently acquired a Big Bertha 454 at a really good price, the club came with a Senior Flex shaft. I'm able to hit without slicing about 240 yds. My old driver had a Regular flex shaft and I got about the same distance 235/40. Am tempted to change the shaft to a Regular Flex. NOW????? would you...

Well, I finally discovered clearkey golf! Thanks to one of you, who made a reference to it, I can't find it now. I think my style is Analyzer. http://www.clearkeygolf.com/fourth.htm

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...
