    Cure for my Push Slice!

    I love to draw the ball and I'm not a big fan of fading the ball with any club over a 7 iron unless I'm hitting out of rough. There are certain dogleg right par fours that I play that demand I hit the ball 250 left to right with no bailout right or left. When I try to hit a push fade I: aim...

    Practice by PGA Tour Players

    What would be their typical day? 1-2 hours working out? 1-2 hours hitting balls? 2-3 hours playing golf? 1-2 short game? I suspect they hit at least 200-300 balls per day.

    Landing Angle - Spin - Wedge Shots (125-75 yards)

    What role does the landing angle play regarding spinning the ball off a green that is tilted (say 3%) back to front? For example, if two wedge shots land on the green at the same spin rate but one hits at a 60* angle and the other at 35* which one will spin off the 3% slope faster (if at all)...

    Trackman Newsletter 9

    Enjoy: http://www.trackman.dk/download/newsletter/newsletter9.pdf I'm sure the fun bunch had all of this stuff covered before their research a thon. Well, I'm sure the research a thon II will be better. :mad: You need more than just a camera and the Internet to make these calculations...

    Club Path - Clubhead Speed

    Has anyone found that the faster the clubhead speed the more likely it is to have a path that's out to in? (I'm right handed). I don't know if this is from my pattern, but when I was hitting balls on Flightscope tonight and noticed the faster my clubhead speed the more my path was out to in.

    Alignment - Line of Scrimmage

    Brian - What's the theory behind your line of scrimmage alignment process? Does it have to do with overcoming the concept of convergence? When my left shoulder is pointing at the target I feel square to the target even though I know I'm not square (i.e., parallel left). I've felt this way...

    Tug & Sand Shots

    Do the new ideas about the release change how people play sand shots? If so, how? Seems to me that low point control is even more important on sand shots than any other shot.

    Handle Dragging & Divots (Irons)

    Is it fair to say that handle dragging will generally lead to medium to large divots and tugging small to barely noticeable divots on iron shots? I'm not looking for absolutes or exceptions, just what generally happens. My divots are almost non-existent when I tug back and up with the shaft.

    Kinematic Sequence - Wedge Shots (20-50 yards)

    The typical kinematic sequences for full shots is (I believe) as follows: hips, shoulders, arms, hands, and then clubhead What's the typical kinematic sequences for wedge shots 20-50 yards and HOW does one increase clubhead speed so that the clubhead travels faster without digging the...

    Weak Flex Shafts - Inward Pull

    Would weak flex shafts allow one to feel the clubhead during the inward pull better? I suspect it might easier to fell the clubhead during "tug out of the ground" with a whipier shaft (but my suspicion could be wrong).

    Clubhead coming into impact - Elipse? Arc? Straight Line?

    What generally happens to the clubhead when coming into the impact area (say 6-8 inches before impact) in terms of the horizontal nature of the movement (i.e., not concerning about the vertical/AoA aspect)? Does the clubhead act like its on an elipse? If so, for how long? An arc? how long...

    Putting - Spin Axis

    If the putter face is closed to the path by (say) 3* at impact and the ball is on a flat surface, will the axis of the ball tilt and cause the ball to "break"? Sometimes it looks like a ball on the putting green is moving sideways because of the ball spining (forward spin in this case) on a...

    60* Wedge - Distance Control - Impact Parameters/Club Design

    Why is it hard for most golfers to have good distance control with a 60* wedge? I'm looking for an explanation tied to impact parameters/club design. I really looking for the "why" to this question.

    Tight Driving Holes - Tour Players

    Do they try to hit the ball higher or lower on courses with tight driving holes? If they hit it higher, do they do it with more dynamic loft AND spin or just more dynamic loft without a significant increase in spin?
