See, but when I do that, on the down swing, I feel like I'm having to reach out for the ball. It feels very strange, and I end up hitting very thin and to the right shots. What would you recommend doing about that?

Well, any thing you do differently will feel strange at first. But it is important you are convinced in your mind before making such a change. Study the impact and set-up positions of as many pros as you can, paying attention to head position. You will find all great ball strikers stay behind the ball throughout the swing til after impact.

In answer to your question, pay very close attention to your right knee and foot. Make sure you stay on the inside of that foot going back, and keep the knee flexed exactly as at address. You want to feel the inside of the right leg energized at the top. One of the best drills to develop that feel is to make some pitch length swings with your feet about 12 inches apart but with your knees pressed together and keep them like that throughout the swing.

Well I'm back with a question. For the past few days, I've been push slicing EVERYTHING. Not to mention I'm hitting them fat 50% of the time. Could anyone give me some tips on why I push-slice the ball? I'll see if I can get some videos later.

Well it's been about a year since I last played, and a recent invitation to the Masters has sparked the golfer in my again, and I have fallen in love all over again. It's my second day of recovering my swing, and this is where I'm at so far:

Any suggestions?

    • As a supporter of the European team even though I chose to live in the US, this is kind of good news. I'm pretty close to Bethpage, but won't be going at these prices. Neither will the crazy drunk NY sports fans who would have made this a very difficult place to play as a Euro. The tickets will go to the city types who are entertaining clients and don't care about the money. Many of them are going to sit there and watch, not get all raucous. I am not dumb enough to believe that this is going to be like a Sunday afternoon stroll in the park for the Euros, but I think it will be significantly more subdued as a result of the prices. Even at $250 I would probably have been watching on the TV anyway so no real skin in the game. 
    • First, it is on free TV. NBC is free to anyone with an antenna, and is on almost any TV in the U.S. with a minimal amount of effort. Charging "a bargain price" would be incredibly dumb. They charged $750 and the event sold out almost immediately. You could better argue they should have charged MORE, not less. What happens if you charge less: ticket scalpers buy up even more of the tickets because they see value: if tickets were $250, they'd clearly have sold for $1k or more on the secondary market. That's tremendous value. Fans would end up paying the same or more, or just not being able to go. Sure, a few who happened to be online at the precise moment on a fast connection and didn't fumble with their credit cards might have gotten tickets for $250, but the secondary market and ticket brokers would have scooped up the vast majority with automated processes and bots and scripts, then re-sold them later on. This way, fans get to purchase the tickets, and the PGA is earning that revenue, not the secondary ticket brokers. Econ 101. Supply and Demand. Nope.
    • Edit - the link has no title, but basically Tiger wants $5 million for each US player to “donate to charity”   They could put the Ryder Cup on free to air tv, and charge the fans a bargain price to get in.  If you have to  give the players $60 million, that’s why the tickets are $750.

    • P7TWs all day IMO. Especially because they're already fit for you. And it sounds like you have an interest in buying/selling so using the Vapor Pros would only decrease their value.
