    Golf Magazine article May 2014

    I've read an article 'The new secret to impact' in the May 2014 Golf Magazine in which it is claimed that you can find out your 'natural swing', on what plane you should swing, how to hinge etc based on a few movement tests. It sounds interesting however as with most articles I am not sure how...

    Pencil bag for the range

    Hi, I normally leave my big trolley bag in the locker at my club and put a few clubs into my pencil bag for the range. I normally take my SW (main club for chipping and pitching for me), a 7 iron, a wood or hybrid and my driver. I am wondering whether that is good in the long run if I only...

    Interview with Justin Rose

    Hi There is a great interview with Justin Rose at the masters in which he talks about the d-plane and how he was taught to draw/fade. I don't have a link for it but if you have an iPad/iPhone you can download the masters app and the interview is in there. You could see from a question after...

    Strange 'Plane rotation' in the transition

    Hi , I've been playing around with my SwingByte, although I don't trust the numbers yet (I just figured out I am still aligning it wrong I believe) seeing the club in 3D is quite cool. I don't want to go down the route of chasing a look (this time not on video but in 3D) just for the sake of...

    Young kid with cross handed grip

    My little boy (3 years and a bit) loves playing with his putter and joining me on the practise green. He is mainly fooling around but he also starts putting and smal swings. He is using a cross handed grip ( with the left hand below the right one). Would you try to change that in this early...

    Did a broken foot teach me the 'keeping the back to the target' or the KIB in BBKIP?

    Hi, I've played today for the first time after fracturing my 5th metatarsal about 6 weeks ago. I am still limping a bit and took a buggy. As my right leg is still weakish and I am a bit protective of my right foot my swing felt different. It felt like I left my right side behind in the...

    The Open - place your bets please

    Hi, so what are your favourites for The Open? Mine has to be Lee Westwood, one of these days it just has to happen, I think Luke will disappoint (again). We might see Louis somewhere in the top ten and I think Francesco Molinari might feature as well. Tiger? Might win, might miss the cut. You...

    Balance training aids - helpful or useless

    Hi, We've all learned from art that balance is very important. If the body detects that you are out of balance it will take measures to ensure that you stay stable and these corrections might cause wayward shots etc (at least that is my understanding, art please correct me if I am wrong). So...

    Motion sensors on club (e.g. SwingByte, PocketPro, SwingSmart)

    Hi what is your take on these motion sensor devices that you attach to your club e.g. the SwingByte, PocketPro or SwingSmart. I believe only the SwingByte is actually out there already and is having some teething problems with the device moving on the club, hence delivering some unreliable...

    Broken foot

    Hi, I've joined mgranato on the bench :-( I just had my foot put in a plaster of paris after limping around for a weak. What is your experience when will I be able to hit the links again? I guess my club championship in two weeks is definitely out but i'm signed up for a ProAm on the 1st of...

    Hitting it of the toe

    I've been hitting my driver and woods of the toe recently (maybe my irons as well, not sure). I've tried addressing the ball more of the heel to compensate for that but even with that I still have toe hits. What could be the cause for this? My misses with the driver are normally hooks. I...

    Difference between golf in the US and in the UK

    Hi, I am wondering how much different golfing in the US is from golfing in the UK for the normal golfer. From what I've heart golf is mainly played with buggies (or carts for the US speakers). Is that a case everywhere? Can you chose to use an electric trolley or walk? In the UK most golfers...

    Timing/Rythm (a question for Art)

    Hi, Art often writes that according to his research timing/rhythm and dynamic stability are very important. is it only important to have a consistent tempo or does your research validate the 'TourTempo' ratio of 3:1 (Backswing 3 times longer then downswing). How do you find the tempo/rhythm...

    Aligning ball for putting - aiming right

    Hi, I've been trying to improve my alignment on putting by using a line on my ball. The problem is while it looks aligned when looking from behind the ball, it looks like it is going to the right when standing above the ball and the ball is going to the right as well (I don't think I am pushing...

    Knowledge of the D-plane on the tour

    Hi, I've watched CNN's Living golf the other day (here in the UK) and it was showing Lee Westwood giving a clinic to some golfers. He told them what he does to hit a draw: 'I aim my clubface where I want the ball to end and align my body to where I want the ball to start'. And he was number 1...

    The inner game - any experience?

    art mentioned the 'Inner game of golf' by Timothy W Gallwey in another thread. I downloaded the book onto my kindle and started reading. Basically his idea is if you get your Self1 as he calls it (the part of you that wants to tell the other part Self2 what to do in a swing, critisizes it etc)...
