Im very handy and like to tinker around with stuff all the time and I was wondering if anyone else have made anything to help improve their game..

If so please list maybe it would help othes!

I have cut down one of those noodle pool toys (about 3ft) to lay on the ground to help with the swing path of my driver. I lay it down next to the ball on a staight line or slightly angled for a draw and if I hit the noodle I know my swing path is off.. Works similar to driveway markers, but this will indicate path and will imediatly show any mistakes becuase the noodle will move..  (I saw a Pro using one and though it was a great idea)

I have cut down a old 7iron to about 2/3rds it original size and regriped it so that I could swing the club in the house and not break everything.

I had an extremely bad case of tendonitis in my right shoulder so I made my own Big Stick Stretching Pole ( Dustin Johnson uses one) instead of paying $85.  I took an expandable broom handle (expands to like 6-7ft) $7 at HomeDepot and a hand ball from Sports Authority $2 and drilled a hole in the hand ball to a size slightly smaller than the threads on the broom handle. Srew on the ball and you saved around $76. After a couple initial therapy sessions and using this stretching pole for 5 minutes before a round or the range I have not had any problems with my shoulder! This is the most important thing in my bag!!!!!

They were selling them at that time at our local Dick's for about $30, that's how.

    • I do not follow amateur or Korn Ferry tour but this story might get me to pay attention. At age 15 to be as accomplished as he is makes me think we may be seeing a future star.  A story of him breaking out may help reinvigorate golf viewership. Miles Russell has a hot start, cools off but finishes with a 68 in first Korn Ferry event Miles Russell, a 15-year-old Jacksonville Beach resident, made his Korn Ferry Tour debut on...  
    • Day 8: Indoor backswing work, mostly rehearsals of takeaway. Hit some balls wtih 6-iron working on adding flow, but not too Much which I tend to do, swaying too far away from target. 
    • Day 55: 4/18/2024 Got to the range again today. Planned to do my priority pieces and then hit targets with irons. But after my priority pieces I hit a few drives and tugged them all hard left. .... Uh... oh boy.  So, I spent about a half hour trying to hit targets at the range with my driver. 
    • Day 126 (18 Apr 24) - Trail arm only drill with the LW…focused on letting the club drop, engaging the bounce and letting the club pop the ball up….wrapped up by repeating drill with both hands on the club…
    • OPPs, I guess I have been doing the drill incorrectly, just ignore this.  But as they say, mistakes are learning opportunities. Let’s hope I can learn from mine.
