Great Site and Forum.

Look forward to talking to everyone of you.

I was at the PGA At Baltusrol Golf Club (1st Round) What a beautiful course.

I even toured the 17th hole, so dang longg!



As you can see my signature... I have tried 5 brands of balls this year. Soon 6.

Those 5 are: Maxfli, Srixon, Titleist, Bridgestone, Nike, (and Soon, Callaway)


But, I think the Callaway just might outdo all those.

Yeah, my dad calls me crazy for trying all those brands!

Welcome... hope you enjoyed your trip to Baltusrol. You lucky dog. There's a bunch of pretty golf savvy people around here, so I'm sure you'll get a lot out of this forum.

Yeah, as for balls, I like the Callaway. They look weird with their honey comb look, but they spin great around the greens. I usually end up spending less for a Noodle, Titleist HVC Spin, Nike TA2 Spin (discontinued) as they check up fairly well on the greens. They stop but don't back up and that works for me for less money.

Looking foreword to having you around.

Why thank you, Jeff.

I did have some time at the PGA.

As for balls, Yeah, the Callaway does look a tad funky, but, they do work better in the wind...


BTW, you want a GREAT BALL FOR THE MONEY? DUNLOP LOCO PRO HT!!


Spins like a Pro V1, cost? 26.50!!!

Welcome to the forum! Hope you enjoy this board, as well as the site. You will definitely see all kinds of opinions around here, and that's a good thing.

I'm not a big "golf ball" fan so-to-speak. Like Jeff, I usually just buy the Noodle or Top Flite Infinity. I buy my golf balls from Wal-Mart. :) I'm going to try some of those Dunlop Loco balls though.

Anyway, enough rambling. Welcome again.

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
