Ok, I know this goes against conventional wisdom in golf, but if there is one place for challenging "pop teachings" this is it. I'm a hooker. No seriously, I can hook the ball like a madman, sharp snap hooks, with any club. I get below plane and that clubface turns over... fast. I don't have...

I'd really like to get this "toss" part of the soft draw correct. How does the application differ for people who are elbow planers (snead) versus turn shoulder planers (nicklaus)? I am finding more and more that I need to stay on the elbow plane. Get up on TSP and I'm all over the place...

If the shaft on your irons is too soft for your swing and the loading it produces, what will the net effect be? Shots all over the place? Poor face control? Weak ballooning shots? I was fooling around yesterday hitting irons at the store (TW VR blade 6 iron with Project X 5.5) and found my...

It occured to me yesterday practicing chipping and short pitches that I really was not maintaining the right wrist bend very well through impact. The left wrist was flat, but I wasn't getting solid consistent contact because the period through which it was flat and online to the ball was very...

Playing 18 today, I was very dissapointed in my chipping. I was making solid contact, but the chips were way too hot. Kept chipping on great lines that barely missed going in, but ran way way past the hole. They lit off the clubface at about twice the speed of the balls at the practice range...

This is nuts. A product of practicing on mats I believe, but I have gone from ditch digger to TOTAL sweeper. I can't even take a divot with a wedge. I really don't think I'm flipping (gonna take some video to check this), but is there anything I can do to start taking divots again? I can't hit...

Hey, does anyone here know if the putting arc training aid works well? I'm looking for something to groove a putting stroke, as my putting is just horrible. I putt something like 40-45 putts a round. It's despicable. I get so frustrated at putting. I just can't get a good putting round going...

Funny... I've heard this before somewhere.... Enjoy!

If I wanted to try swinging like Lee Trevino, what are the essentials of his pattern? Here is what I have so far: 1) Slightly strong grip 2) Open stance 3) Shoulders square 4) Left arm takes club out and back, clubface closed 5) Continue left wrist arching to the top of the swing 6) Keep...

Check this out... I thought it was pretty funny at the end.

What's this big debate going on lately in the golf world about right side control versus left side control? We both have both sides. I have seen players that are awesome using control from either side. As such, I conclude it doesn't really matter. Heck, I even read about a one armed golfer...

He said what!?!?!? OMG

Has anyone else read the golf swing book by John Redman? In the book, he advocates starting the turn of the hips back to the left prior to the backswing of the arms being completed. In a sense, he creates a dynamic response to the swinging of the clubhead. What's the opinion on this sort of...

Anyone watching the memorial right now? Can you spot any changes in Woods' swing? At first glance, looks more upright and less laid off to my eye.

Check this guy out! Swing video is a few minutes in. Enjoy!

I understand the importance of lie angle as it relates to impact, but what is the affect of improper lie angle at setup, the resulting shaft angle, and its affect on the swing? Reason I ask is I started experimenting yesterday during chipping with soling (sp?) the club flat to start with, then...

Any tips or tricks for stopping someone swinging too hard? I have gotten in the habit of swinging way way way too fast and too hard, so much so that I think I'm loosing a lot of potential clubhead speed. As an example, when I started playing, I could hit a 3 wood about 245, and driver 265. Now I...

Can we talk about how to achieve maximum spin wedge shots? I play on courses with really fast greens and need to learn a land and stop, or land and backup shot. I'm talking about generating the kind of spin that makes the ball dance like it's made out of ballata. I'm constantly hitting shots...

Made some great putts last time I was out, but I can't help feeling they were anything more than luck. Can we start a thread for tips and tricks for putting? Here is what I have found so far that works and doesn't work (for me): Works: 1) Paul Runyan putting grip with hands at 45 degrees -...

Been trying to nail down my chipping to a reliable technique after constantly duffing chips while playing. Noticed today that with an open stance, club aimed at the target, I could just swing the club along my foot line and hit decent chip shots. Question: Can chipping be as simple as just...
