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.

    • God I hate when golf can’t give me n+1 day of success. Drives me up the wall when my body is, FU! Im like, ok let’s check the vid. Yep too much turn, arms getting behind me. Ok, I work on that. Get the feel back for a shorter swing. Confirm with video. Then going back to arms down stuff.  Arms down, nope it’s hands out towards the ball. Oh, you get arms down better. Guess what, you don’t get to rotate and you hit 6 inches behind the ball. Yay!  Maybe I should have walked off the range and not wasted my time. I wish there was a body alert system when it’s going to a SOB for the day. 😭 OK rant over, I’ll be back at this tomorrow.

    • I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.      
    • Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.
    • No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.
