The Pure Ball Striker works for all stroke patterns.
It was developed based off the golf club design.
The Pure Ball Striker rest on the aft side of the grip along the sweetspot plane and allow each golfer to monitor their lagging clubhead.
This device will twist, slip, and sometimes come off the grip when lag pressure is lost.
What is lag pressure?
Lag Pressure is it is a feel that is placed in the hands along the sweetspot plane. More specific the palm of the right hand and the trailing index finger the "trigger finger". This pressure is created through the inert club. This inert club resist movement and creates a feel of the lagging clubhead.
Sustain this pressure to and through impact interval. By directing the hands to and through impact interval the clubhead is lagging and trying to catch up. This is considered out of line but it is seeking it in line condition which will occur after impact interval more towards the bottom of the swing arc.
The bottom of the swing arc is the lowest point in the stroke and is opposite the left shoulder. This is where the left arm, hands, clubshaft and clubhead get in line.
All of this creates a feel that is unique to the individual player and the Pure Ball Striker helps the golfer the better sense the lagging clubhead.
Now all the golfer has to do is FEEL!
DON"T Think. FEEL!

These balls are the best for making the PBS. Almost Golf Balls. They are made of a hard foam so they are easy to cut but will maintain there form. Here is a pic of mine. Works

I still haven't received my PBS, but practiced today all shots within 50 yards trying to maintain the pressure between my trigger finger and the shaft during the downswing and follow through (both arm

Why don't people just make one with some tape and a folded paper tissue, oh and that'll be $10 for the info

Jim said this about the Pure Ball Striker:
I just received my PBS a couple of days ago and like several players I had to call Jeff for some guidence. He was in the middle of a lesson but told me he would call back in about 15 minutes and he did. He talked me through the grip and the basics to use the device when striking a ball. He advised to begin using the PBS on the putter, then move to chipping, then to 1/2 swings before going to the full swing. If I understood him right, he told me that the main thing that one must consciously do when swinging the club with the device, is to push both arms straight with the grip pushing ahead of the clubhead. The feel that one gets doing that with the PBS is the feel you want to have when swinging without the device. Jeff; I hope I said that right.

As Jeff talked me through this, I mentioned that it sounds like stuff I got from Homer Kelly years ago. Jeff was interested in my story of going to a class in Mr. Kelly's livingroom for 5 days to learn from his newly published book; The Golf Machine. I was lucky to be invited as everyone else was a teaching pro (I was a friend of a teaching pro that also attended and he got me in).

There are a lot of things that I have forgotten but a few remained with me for over 30 years. One is how difficult it was for me to get the feel of clubhead lag pressure against my right forefinger and to maintain it through the downswing without letting it get away. I finally gave up.

The other thing I remember is the story from Mr. Kelly telling us how, as a retired Boeing engineer, he got involved in trying to break down good swings using engineering principles. He stated that he tried, with limited success, to speak to the PGA professionals when they came to Seattle for their annual tournament. Most of them did not want to discuss parts of their swing because they were afraid of losing their feel.

But he did say this: His research showed their were two distinct groups of golfers. One group started playing golf and they typically shot 120 or so for 18 holes and then with practice and playing more they quickly got their scores down to the low 90's where they seemed to be stimied.
The other group typically shot 120 or so their first time out and then through practice and playing they also got down into the low 90's. But then they kept improving into the low 80s or high 70's where they then had to work on their short game to improve to the low 70's.
He said the difference between the two groups was that the first group did not have clubhead lag and they typically lost the angle of their right wrist and flat left wrist prior to impact. Then the dreaded flip.
The second group, for whatever reason, naturally swung with clubhead lag and they were much better ball strikers. But interestly, most of them didn't know themselves what
they were doing that gave them better results.
I am very excited to give this clubhead lag stuff another chance with this gizzmo.
I used it for the first time on the driving range today warming up with about 20 balls and then played. I hit the ball better off the tee today with the stack and tilt and pushing my arms straight (trying to get the handle out ahead of the clubface at impact). Many solid draws. For some reason I was having a harder time hitting the ball solid on full wedge shots because maybe I need to overdo pushing the handle ahead of the clubhead through impact. But I am very incouraged. Can't wait to practice it tomorrow.

Yup, I did. Ordered it.

You guys should really look at putting a non-flash enabled alternate site up. Might lose some impulse buys from people surfing on their phones.

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By StuM ·

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
