    Too wide of stance

    Ok, I'm really trying to get this driver fixed. Other than being super closed I noticed I have a very wide stance. What problems can arise from this? Would it be harder to transfer my weight back to my left side? Thanks

    Super closed stance, seems straight to me

    Well, I think I figured out why I've been hooking the ball. A buddy placed a club down at my feet and I must have been aimed 30 yards to the right on a consistent basis with all of my drives. The weird thing is that I feel like I'm aiming straight. Other than practicing with a club on the...

    SD backswing + NHA downswing

    Ok, Brian has mentioned several times now that the above is a good pattern. Desperately trying to get rid of my hook, I hit some balls in my garage last night to find out myself. The end result was good contact on some shots but also A LOT of shanks. I haven't shanked all year that I can...

    Definition of "Soft"

    Those that are playing with soft draw. How much right to left do you have? For example, driver and say an 8 iron. I'm just curious as to how much "straightening" I have to do. Thanks

    1 inch per foot

    So I was golfing with a new buddy the other day and I was missing some short easy putts. He thought I took the club back to far. He said he read in a book where you should swing the club back 1 inch per foot of distance (at least for short putts). I think he said it was in something like...

    LCT creating hooks?

    Ok, I was just on a simulator trying out some new hybrids. Was hooking them all even though they were straight faced clubs. This has been my miss lately after starting the SD pattern. The salesman thought I was hooking because I was starting my backswing with my hands and the club was...

    Extra "pop" with SD?

    What do you guy's do when you what some extra "pop" with the SD pattern? For example, you're in a best ball tournament and your first 2 partners are in good positions already. You feel like really getting after this one. What do you do? Thanks

    Putting (strokes and shafts)

    Looking for a new putter. Have always liked the 2 ball putters and borrowed one from a friend the other day. Like advertised, it definitely helps with aim. My question, I'm not sure whether to go with the heel shafted version or the center shafted version. Is one better for an arc type swing...

    When you HAVE to hit it left to right?

    Ok, for those that play a draw and have a hard time hitting a fade. What do you do to make sure that sucker doesn't go left. For example, a dogleg to the right. One of the holes on my course just opened up due to the flood and it's a dogleg to the right. For the life of me I can't hit a...

    Closed driver (1/2 degree) Amount of impact?

    Ok, I just found my receipt from last year where I had a guy put together a driver for me. Looks like it was a 10.5* head and turned it into a 10* head that's 1/2* closed. Not sure why since I haven't sliced in years. Now I'm having a hard time with too much right to left. How much impact...

    Too steep with NHA?

    Any of you guys get too steep coming down with NHA? I've been having good success with SD but I can't get the hooks out. I've decided to give NHA a shot. I've had the movie for years but never really needed it. Anywho, anyone get too steep coming down and how did you correct it? Thanks -Curtis

    Switch to hybrid??

    Thinking about getting a hybrid to swap out my 3 iron. Seems like they have been the rage for the past few years. Are there any downsides to a hybrid? Basically I'm wondering if I'm giving anything up by switching. Accuracy? Ability to work the ball? Etc. Any success or horror stories are...

    Best round ever! (**warning-worthless post**)

    Well, shot the best round (9 holes) of my life today. Not a super hard course but it's not easy either. Shot a 39. Drives were nice and long, striking the mid irons well, and my short game was on. I can definitely get better and pretty soon 39's will be more common and then hopefully will be...

    Crushing my pushes

    Ok, I've been using the SD pattern for the past few weeks with good success. Getting mostly draws or hooks. Luckily the hooks are half way playable. Once in a while I push the ball, maybe once or twice a round. But when I do I CRUSH it! Better than any of my other drives. They are a lot...
