I had broken my 7 wood and brought it to be reshafted.They ask what shaft I wanted to put in. I said I dont know he ask how far I hit a 5 iron I said about 150 or so. Now the guy knew me and said that cant be right I`ve seen you swing, so he put me on a machine to check swings out. I hit my...

Is there a different down swing for a one plane swing than a two plane swing. It seems with my (I think I have ) one plane swing when I try to drop and pivot my club head never catches up. But when I just swing hard at the ball from the topI get better results. I know whats coming next if it...

This year is the worst year for me putting. It got so bad I changed 5 putters many grips couldnt make a 1 footer and have the yipps so bad it ruined my year. I`m lifting my head up before hitting even when I try to see the club hit the ball first. Now I`m thinking of using my shoulders to move...

I`m no teacher and all I know is what is said here. My friend very talented hits the ball 300 yrds, always in the 70`s. What stops him from being better is a couple of things.He has a slight reversed pivot,pushes alot of driver shots not with irons, and his clubface is closed at the top. He`s...

I tried my swing using my left hip to go back and hit the ball with my right hip. I`ve got some good results especially with my irons ,which I cant get into the air for beans. My question is, is it just a bandaid and eventually I knock down shots again or am I on the right track and stay with...

IMO, I feel if you go to a doctor and he treats you, he should call to see if its working. Same as a car mechanic. After all they were hired , and should care if everything is all right. Do you think its proper for a golf instructor to do the same? I would want to know if what i taught works....

After all my years of golfing I think I found my problem of why I cant hit anything on the ground. Its sliding without turning I`m great off the tee and straight. As soon as I have anything on the ground I top it knock it down or hit a low liner. Now if I just think on the downswing to turn my...

I notice when the girls swing in the pros their heads go down to the ball and follow thru under. Why is it so noticible with them. What do they do to accomplish this. Are they swinging different than men or does it look that way...joe

I have setup problems really bad. I think I`m squared to the line and constantley they tell me my feet are point right. I cant see this, time and again. Does a dominant eye be doing this? Rarely I`m too far left Even when I see the line of a putt I always see break and have trouble reading...
