Yesterday, I played with a 70 yr old man that looked 55. On the second hole, I noticed he chipped a ball cross handed and thought to my self.." that's different". On the next tee I realized he played everything cross handed..... and he hit it goooood. He was only about 15-20 yards behind me in driving distance and his irons were about the same as mine. And he hit the ball very straight. I think he shot even or -1. I have never seen that before. I was impressed.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

I have played in a tournament with a kid who played cross handed for every shot to, he also was a very good player.

I saw some highlights of something on sky sports and they went to one of those little stories and it was interviewing a guy who plays on the europro tour i think and he plays cross handed. I looks very difficult to play like that -what i want to know is how they came to learn to play golf that way: who told them to ect

There's a crosshander that plays on two of my leagues.....very awkward to watch and even harder to lose to....he's pretty solid though. Have a friend that swings cross handed as well....never lost to him.

Maybe were left handed but had to play with right handed clubs cause that's all they had when they started? Isn't Josh Broadaway cross-handed, i think that's why he's like that.

Does he do a waggle like Josh Broadaway? He waggles the club in front of the ball instead of behind it.

A cross-handed player would be cool to watch.

What do you mean by cross handed? Like when you're a righty, then your right hand is on the bottom and your left hand on top?

I believe its the opposite....like if your a righty, and your right hand is on the top.

For the two players that I know, both just naturally took to being cross handed out of comfort. I also used to play baseball with a kid that would swing a baseball bat cross handed.....and he went on to play major college ball and was in the minors for a while....albeit that was as a pitcher.

It's not cool to watch at all. Not for me anyway.

Yes....a righty would have their right hand on top.

I have a friend who plays cross handed. Never played a round with him just a range visit, and I thought it was super weird. I tried it just to goof around. Never again.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod
