Shame on you for thinking what you are thinking...this is not about him.... Tyrannosaurus Rex draws a link between the beautiful and bizarre To help you put this story in context: Clive Palmer developed his fortune in mining. He recently bought two golf courses: Coolum and Robina. Both are...

On the other thread, Frans identified that my clubhead speed varied by 4mph over 15 swings with a 7-iron. He correctly identified that my current shafts are sub-optimal (my words, not his). I still hit with X-stiff shafts when my clubhead speed would justify a Stiff rating (at best) or perhaps...

Below/attached is the data from my first FS session. Shot 15 was the only swing that felt really bad off the club. Everything else ranged from OK/pretty good through to sweet. Swing unseen...what do I need to work on? Note: distance is measured in metres...you non-metric types will need to...

I would like to ask those of you using versions of Trackman/Flightscope without built in cameras, how do you ensure that the sensor is perpendicular to the target line? My set up is outdoors and into a net. How can I get it just right? Is the reference point the eye/camera of the sensor or...

This is a quote from Kevin's recent post...the rest of that thread is discussing Aimpoint, but I I thought this comment deserved its own thread. I assume that it means "The move to strike the ball is an inward pull from the left [hand/arm] and FATS [force against the shaft] from the [right...

Hello Geoff Your unit has arrived and we are just going through gst and customs clearance which will take a day or so as funds get cleared etc. You will have your unit very shortly, I need to do a quick test before handing over to you to ensure no transit damage and unit working perfectly. * * *

Golfers, I have had a chronic inside takeaway prpblem. Using my iphone, swingreader, and my dining room table I have practised at length and have improved immensely. I realise that the shaft plane is not the be all and end all of backswing planes, but I know that hit it like crap whenever I...

"It's hard to break 80 when you have 5 three-putts." Geoff Dickson "Putting is the weakest part of my game". Geoff Dickson What pearls of wisdom have you shared with your golfing partners this week?

I want to design and construct a ‘bullet- proof’ home hitting net that is Flightscope capable. I need your help to get it right. Model 1: No ceiling 6m distance from tee to net 4m high back net The Vertical Launch Angle to hit over net (VLA(max)) = 33.7* PGA Tour PW = 24.2* At 6m distance...

Trackman lists their indoor set up requirements as this: Height Minimum: 9'10"/3m - Optimal: 11'6"/3.5m Width Minimum: 14'10"/4.5m - Optimal: 16'6"/5m Length Minimum: 17'/5.2m - Optimal: 26'2"/8m Assume the ball is located in the middle, that gives 2.25m (mim) and 2.5m (ideal) either side...

I know there will be no absolutes, but...What is the horizontal and vertical launch angles for a shank? Horizontally, what percentage would be greater than 45*? Assuming the same club, I would expect a shank to have less vertical launch angle compared to a well hit shot Has anyone ever seen...

I am learning to have the butt of the cub pointing towards belt buckle at address. Previously, my address position was ppretty much impact position with hands well advanced of ball. My method to achieve the belt buckle position, is to set myself up (with hands forward), and clubface square...

A recent video analysis identified a right heel that is almost certainly lifting prematurely...a straightening of the right knee was also evident alongside of a loss of spine angle...my impact position could be described as near vertical - straight legs and straight back. In 2007, BM posted a...

I want to better understand spin rate and how to increase it for irons. Spin loft is the difference between the dynamic loft of the club and the attack angle. My 7-iron spin loft is 30* with a dynamic loft of 28* and -2*AoA producing a spin rate of 3500rpm. These numbers reasonably consistent...

At impact: 1. the club and the left arm should be in a straight line made possible by 2. the hands in front of the ball and 3. a flat left wrist at impact. Are there any other fundamentals?

I tested the I20s with a variety of shafts (KBS Tour Stiff and regular; CFS Stiff and regular, DG300 and THC Stiff Graphite) using Trackman last night. The following data is from a sample of five hits with a SEVEN iron (not the six-iron norm) and the CFS Regular using range balls off mats, no...

There is some evidence out there in cyberspace that Tiger's Driver and fairway woods are at least 2.75* open...would that help us understand anything about his swing path (i.e. swinging left)?

Brian, I am using Hogan here as an example, but you can insert the name of any golfing legend. Through the wonders of time travel, lets assume it is possible for you to do one option in the following two scenarios: Interview or observe: 1. Interview Hogan in his prime about what he was doing...

I have been struggling with inside takeway, getting underplane etc etc.I have had a lightbulb moment courtesy of Micheal Breed on Golf Fix (I know that will surprise many)...He had an almost throwaway line about about getting the left shoulder 'low' on the takeway which introduced me to the...
