    Looking for advice on driver swing

    Had just a terrible range session yesterday, two way misses - right to right and left to left. I've never posted my swing before and maybe I should wait until the Owl is up and running, but someone has to see something here. I can't describe it, but in trying not to tug, I think I'm making a...

    Relative club speed

    I was on Trackman this morning My 6 iron speed was pretty consistent at 84 - 85, but my driver was topping out at 95, usually a bit lower. does his sound right? is there a rule of thumb on speed thru the bag?

    Short game questions

    I've had the chance to play more often than usual lately and a lot of the rounds have been with guys at about the same level that I play. 12 hc from the blue tees at my place. Two situations seem to crop up a lot in the weekend players game. 1. Either intentionally or not, there will be at...

    KBS shaft question

    Need some help from the fitters out there. I did a fitting recently and the shaft recommendation was KBS Tours stiff (130 gram, I think). I thought this meant that I would order the clubs from the OEM with these shafts. The fitter says no, the KBS's that come in the OEM clubs are not the...

    Help for a junior

    My 9 year old son is out of school and back to golf. IMO he has a pretty nice swing notwithstanding the DNA I've provided him. I've done little by way of telling him what to do. Mostly I've encouraged him to hit it hard. He's has always had a bit of a draw. Now its headed hard left or...

    Beyond the lesson tee

    So, I'd like to think I'm not one of those guys discussed by SteveT. I started playing in my 20's, but kind of think of my golf life in two stages, pre-Manzella/Jacobs and post. I never thought a tip or new piece of equipment would make me good. I tried lessons, but was frustrated by what I...

    More distance = less accuracy? any science

    Conventional wisdom says there is a trade off between distance and accuracy, but is this really true? Most of the good players I have played with generally hit it long. Tour players are long and it sure helps them score better. Is there any science that shows a decrease in accuracy if you...

    Pull draws, d-plane help needed

    I should be able to figure this out myself, but I'm having trouble with shots that start a bit left of the target line and then curve a bit further left. It's even happening with the short irons. Grip is neutral, divots appear to be at the target and reasonable depth. I'm not a flipper...

    Tom Watson on swinging left

    MY SWING might look the same as it always has, but it really isn't. I don't have the extension I once had. The width of my arc is not what it used to be. My left arm bends a little bit now. I learned how to swing the golf club for real in 1994. I had some success before then, but in 1994, that's...

    Nicklaus v. Snead Shell match at Pebble

    I know Nicklaus and Snead are mentioned here frequently. CBS is going to play their match at Pebble this Sunday at 2:00. PGATOUR.com - The Official Site of the PGA TOUR has a piece on it. I guess its never been aired after the original (1963) and each gives some swing tips. Thought some...

    Heel impact / pulls

    I've developed a pattern of heel side impacts with my woods. I fight being under-plane and swinging too far right. Have I over done something? What are the most common causes of heel impacts? They tend to be pulls. Irons are relatively good. Any suggestions would be most appreciated (I'm...

    Breaking 80

    What does it take (besides making the putt for 79)? Most guys I play with are 90's shooters with the potential to play in the 80's. I am routinely in the 80's and have been below, but not in a few years. What is the biggest difference between those that can and those that can't? It has been...

    Heel pulls: diagnosis needed

    Been working for a while on swinging less under-plane and more to the left. It's been a struggle. Hit some good drivers at the range today, but the misses were in the heel and pulled. I've been described as a classic overdoer, so I wanted to check in to make sure I wasn't overdoing a good...
