    Game imporvement vs Players Irons

    I currently hit Callaway X16s with a handicap of 6 (with a vision of getting to 3). I have no trouble ‘working’ the ball either way. The 6 handicap seems to put me in that 0-8 handicap zone where manufacturers (and retailers) are telling me that i should be hitting a players irons. I am not...

By default the butt end of the club remains nested within the palm of my hand - the butt end does not protrude out of my palm. The advice I received today was...

    Above-plane follow thru - not generating clubhead speed

    I have been working with my coach to overcome an underplane/inside takeaway and an above-plane follow through. I have been making good progress - my handicap has dropped from 10 to 6 over the last few months. Tonight I asked him when I could expect some increased distance from the swing...

    How many centrmetres left or right is 6 degrees?

    Apologies in advance for forgetting high school trigonometry. I am looking to get a better feel/comprehension for how far left and right we need to aim/swing. I know there are some resources/spreadsheets that tell us how far to aim left (or right) in order to reproduce a straight shot...

    Hinge actions, swivel and hitters

    Golfers, I have searched the archives for all and information on hinge actions, swivel and hitters. Alot of this discussions seemed to occur before the 'true ball flight laws' became known. Have the true flight laws changed what we know about hinge actions, swivel and hitters?
