So we all know that positive angle of attack with a driver will yield more yards Why not do that with 3 wood too? Get extra 20-40 yards by hitting up on the ball off the tee with 3 wood And off a fairway lie expect to be shorter with 3 wood as the angle of attack is more level or downward

Is there any data to support a positive angle of attack with a long iron of the tee? The reason I ask is that I seen ready nice high fade shot when the ball is teed up only slightly maybe 1/8 inch and no divot I not saying anything crazy like 4-5 degree of upward hit like a driver But any...

YouTube - steve stricker putting delimma 2010_04_28_16_49_00.avi Steve's success in putting shows that the putting stroke doesn't have be a symetrical backstroke to a forward stroke. He aims an open putter face at address with the toe down then reroutes the putter so that is square and sole...

Intermediate target. That spot in front of the ball. I dont use it cause I tend to focus and stare at it too long and it can disrupt my rhythm. I usually align with the distance target..ie the flag, treetop etc and then just set up with that target in mind and use the ball as the "intermediate...

This year I have a couple of teaching pros video tape my swin and it's surprising what I feel I am doing is so different from what I am actually doing in the swing. One of the problems was the flip. My irons and shots are good and I do not flip. But when I try to hit my woods I immediately...

I like to have a fun debate regarding weather a backswing is necessary at all. I argue it isn't. Why not just start the swing from the top like baseball players? Ryan Moore had a no BS swing few years ago but didn't catch on. Here's some advantages of no BS 1) A bad BS won't ruin the swing...

Has anyone tried to get grip different for irons vs woods? Say neutral for irons. And strong for woods Or interlock for woods and overlap for irons

I going crazy trying to figure out the proper left thumb position. I have a bad habit of shorting the left thumb so much so that I have a hard time hinging my wrist upwards. If I stop playing the habit stops. I notice a few pros have torned their ligaments around the left thumb requiring...

I know this is a personal preference but I like to know how other members orient their clubface when setting up. I have been shutting my clubface/clubhead with my thumb muscles in relation to the target line then squaring up the clubface/clubhead with my posture. I heard of other players who...

Can you play good golf with slightly arch wrist at impact? Arched left wrist ,not flat at impact without flipping? The reason I ask cause I am trying impact fix address with my left wrist and the left wrist wants to arch at address as I prepare for downward hitting iron shots. My feeling is...

Why is straight left elbow important? Westwood and Sadlowski have a bent left elbow at impact and they are good strikers of the ball.

Watching a segment on short game pitching between Furyk and Funk. There are two distinct ways these guys approach the pitch. Funk has a book of his yardage of wedge distance and takes the wedge back to 9 oclock ,10 oclock etc. depending on the yardage needed. Furyk does pitching by feel. Know...

Golfers, J Nicklaus states that he like to have constant grip pressure throughout the swing. But in reality everyone swinging up to 100 mph WILL FEEL MORE GRIP PRESSURE at IMPACT due to the tremendous centrifugal force, THAN AT ADDRESS. Question......do you 1) keep your hands passive and let CF...

Where do you like to address the T-ball with your 460 cc Driver?

For the pivot controlled takeaway swing such as LCT....is it fundamentally pivot controlled hands all the way to followthru.....or can one do pivot controlled hands at takeaway then hands controlled the swing after the backswing is completed? Are both methods equally effective?

Can one have impact hands at address and still do a pivot controlled takeaway with good results?

Does anyone know what rpm one has on the ball on the tour pitch? You know that hard low pitch shot that hops once or twice then checks with backspin. How much rpm backspin needed for the check? The other question is how close/far away from the hole is it reasonable to attempt this shot given...

Here's Rory making what looks like a forehead drive like in tennis but with a driver and golf ball. makes me wonder can this be an effective way hitting the driver? I think this will befuddle the TGMers who are scratching their heads wondering how classify this a drag /drive loading.

What is the proper blister pattern in the left hand? ......If there such a thing? Noticed that 95% wear a glove on tour. If you didn't wear a left hand glove for the top hand.....where would your blisters be located? Im thinking if would be over the base of the last three fingers, and more...

I have been practising my short game intense that I totally lost my ability to hit a descent shot from the tee. On a swing monitor my swing speed is slower, and I have too high spin rates. I lost my tempo and feel a ton of effort to hit the ball further. In past when my timing was good it didn't...
