Posted in Practice, Swing Theory, Training Aid, ball striking | 4 comments
Over the past 12 days working with the tour striker I’ve seen a significant improvement in my ball striking. For a while and before re-acquainting myself with the TS my distance control was inconsistent.
I’m now much more consistent with my distance control and my I’ve added about 15 yards with each iron.
I’ve found that not [...]

This morning I headed to the driving range early. Got there around 6:50 am, got set up and hit balls into the foggy morning.
I was encouraged by my practice session on Monday evening. This morning it was a slightly different story. I hit a couple of toppers which right away told me that I had [...]

I’ve decided to do a month long test with each of my favorite swing training aids to see how they impact my ball striking and my game with intense practice. To begin this series I’m going to use the one that I’ve used the least lately, the Tour Striker.
Why the Tour Striker
I picked the Tour [...]
Stop quitting on your putts

One night while I was on a golf trip in Maryland a few weeks ago, I thought it would be fun to have some putting contests in the room. The carpet was probably rolling about a 10 so it wasn’t too quick. We played a version of leap frog and set the cup out about [...]

Since I’ve seen that a number of people commenting in the Optishot review had some technical issues, I decided to ask the manufacturer for a response to their complaints. I have not had any significant issues with the optishot and in fact really like the product. Over the winter it provided me with [...]

Watching Morning Drive this morning, I was in total agreement with the comments that Brandel Chamblee (@BrandelChamblee) made about Rickie Fowler.
“You understand the best way to play golf, this is my opinion, is to go out there and try to hit shots…You know,it’s the big lie to me, that you can go out there and swing [...]
Review: BirdieBall Putting Green
If you’re a serious golfer, you want to be able to practice at home. It’s not always easy to get to the golf course with all of the obligations we have on our lives. It was with this thought in mind that I got a BirdieBall putting green. I received it as a present from [...]
That new strange feeling – making swing changes stick
February 23, 2011 - 8:57 am
Posted in Swing Theory | 1 comment
I’ve written before about making swing changes stick. It’s a shame to spend money on lessons, or time with your coach, and quickly revert back to what you were doing. It’s not a good use of time or money. So how do we change that? How do we make sure that the changes we are [...]
Winter practice – beating the winter blues
February 22, 2011 - 12:22 pm
Posted in Practice | No comments
Finally it looked like winter was going away, but my hometown just got dumped with a few more inches of snow. Luckily I hear an early spring is in the works.
With all this snow, I couldn’t really get out to practice much. I hit the driving range on a few warm days, just to ensure [...]
Lessons from Riviera
February 22, 2011 - 12:04 pm
Posted in Fundamentals | No comments
Watching the coverage on both Golfchannel and CBS, I was surprised to see how short the ball was flying at Riviera. Considering it was in the best shape that the announcing team has ever seen it, it must have been a combination of the low temperatures, sea level and kikuya grass, that shortened the distances [...]
