For the past month I’ve worked with a swing trainer called the Powerchute. I’ve given it an extensive test and the results are in.
What is the Powerchute?
It’s a swing training aid that aims to increase clubhead speed and lag, and improve timing and lag. In addition it strengthens the fast twitch muscles.

Recent experience has taught me that you need two things to make swing changes stick. Practice and time. Now while these may seem self evident there is more going on behind the scenes in the subconscious mind than meets the eye.
We’ve all heard the phrases “Practice makes perfect” and “Perfect practice makes perfect”. We all [...]

The Vharness is a swing trainer with the goal of teaching anyone to swing like a pro. The Vharness is endorsed by Rocco Mediate, who I think is a brilliant spokesperson for this product because of how well heconnects with average golfers. He looks like a guy in your foursome. But of course he has [...]

Today was one of the great practice sessions. Even though I set out to do something I was practicing on the simulator, I ended up going in a completely different direction with my driving range session.
At home I had been practicing with the driving range portion of my golf simulator. I noticed that I had [...]
Control distance with trajectory

There are many excellent reasons to learn to control your distance with trajectory. Here are some of my favorites:
Not every shot is a full shot. The more you can learn to master partial shots, the more control you’ll have approaching greens.
Dealing with the wind. Lower trajectory shots fly better in the wind and are less [...]

Today was a very interesting day. I spent the afternoon with the Head Professional for Sterling Farms Golf Course, Rob LaRosa. I went there because I had just won a Project X driver shaft and I wanted to be fit so that I would know which shaft to get from them. The afternoon though evolved [...]
Pulling with the left side to eliminate the weak slice

Posted in Flat left wrist, Fundamentals, Practice, Swing Theory | 1 comment
In the same way that someone is right handed or left handed, a golf swing can be dominated by either side. Most amateur swings are right side/arm dominated. You can see this in the over the top moves and the flipping action of the club face. This is typically considered pushing and results in a [...]

I was a competitive fly fisherman, I was great at casting the reel. Now that I’m obsessed with golf I’ve taken to casting the club. Any suggestions?
January 20, 2010 - 2:58 pm
@Cam: Take a look at the post called “Stop casting:Keep the Upper body together”. I’m not much a fly fisherman, but in golf, casting the club will rob you of power and reduce your accuracy. You are probably letting the arms and hands out race the body. At the top, try to keep the upper body together for as long as possible. Have everything come down and through together. Stop if you feel your arms racing down and in front. Just keep trying to get the feeling of everything moving together. If you practice that you will start to feel the club head lagging behind you. This is good. It will probably to some getting used to, but this will really allow the club head to whip through the hitting area with less effort.
