A friend gave me the Callaway Swing-Easy to use at the range and it really works. It helps the arms connect with the body. It feels like you can generate more power when your arms don't flare out from your body.

I had a problem slicing and I got the GyroSwing  that was on the Fore Inventors Only shot on Golf Channel.  It really helped me with both my swing plane and feeling a proper release.  Now I draw the ball pretty consistently and hit it more solidly.

I also got the Gold Flex for pre-round warmups, but I don;t now if it has really helped me much.

Like most amateurs I struggle with club head ahead of hands at impact (distance killer), I'll look into the Gyro Scope. Thanks for your support Turtleback.

That helped? First time my former instructor played back my videos I was ready to throw my clubs away. Kidding of course but yeah good tool despite the humbling experience. The best part, him putting up the side by side comparison of a pro with a similar build. It's akin to having your girlfriend laugh at your under the belt equipment when it's finally your lucky night.

-My local golf pro, Ken... Best training aid I've ever used. -Cheap putting mat to keep my putting in check duuring the winter. -8ft net in the basement to keep the swing loose during the winter (have been debating adding the OptiShot or something to that scenario) -Laser range finder has been helpful with practicing the short game at the range Thinking about what someone said about swing comparisons to pro golfers on video analysis... It makes me think, the pro I work with always uses Luke Donald when he shows me side by side comparisons. It never occured to me to ask why (he has a lot of tour pro examples on his pc to choose from). Now I'm curious...

My iPhone camera. Don't need to see something in slow mo if I know what I'm working on. And tour sticks, helps me with alignment and hips turning too fast and right hip moving in!

I have a Medicus 5 iron, alignment rods, and the orange whip. The orange whip helps loosen me up and helps set the tempo. It helps with timing mechanics too.

Alignment sticks ($2 each driveway markets from Lowe's).

Practicing with the sticks burned the proper alignment image look into my "mind's eye." Kind of like the golf "first down' line when you watch TV football.

Unlimited range balls. Although they've also ****ed me up the most, so we'll call it a wash.

      Do Upgrade Shafts Provide a Significant Performance Gain?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      For someone with a very consistent swing speed and ball strike, upgrades may improve performance. For everyday golfers, probably not. I'm a rather odd player. I usually get best performance from basic pro or tour heads, but with lighter stock shaft from the model's standard driver set up. (Yes, current EXS is an exception.) When I get a full driver fitting, I usually try a couple of modest upgrade  (not super magic) shafts. Most of the time upgrade gives a couple of extra yards, or 10 yards less. Remember this about stock shafts: They are matched to a particular driver model to fit the type of player likely to adopt that model. Also, most OEMs offer a variety of stock shafts in their drivers. Test for which one works best. And, the final decider...

      Hybrid Advice

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Uh, seeing you're having trouble with hit-and-miss performance from inherited clubs... Get Fitted! IF the 910H pair don't work, swap them out. Also, only two degrees separation in loft is not much. You might consider a 4W (much more reliable than a 3W) plus hybrid. This would give more distance separation than two Hs. For hybrid, get one you can hit... Maybe a more benevolent 4H. Quite often I try to brand match my bridge clubs (FWs and Hs), and my irons and wedges... but not always. Whatever works!
    • WUTiger
      5 Wood or Hybrid

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Like others have said, get fitted. Since 2011, I have played some combination of 4W + 7W. I had a Cobra 3H and 4H a couple of years back, and would swap out the 7W for a 3H in cold months (keep out of cold wind, and rough thinner for wayward drives.) The 7W matched up with yardage often with 3H; the current 4H goes almost as long as 7W, but has a lower trajectory. 4H also bumped out 4i in last bag redo; I learned to hit stinger with 4H so that's my driving iron on tight holes with shallow landing area. Again, a side-by-side test will tell you which way to go. If 5W or 3H is meh, keep the 7W. Also, are you looking to replace the 7W with a 5W or 3H, or add a second bridge club (5W or 3H) to your bag?

      Workout Before or After Playing a Round of Golf (2022)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Makes sense and aligns with other literature. Static stretching, especially for longer durations, can impede performance in strength and power activities. I would not want to do like hamstring, quad, and calf stretches then go immediately sprint. To me that sounds like a terrible Idea. I would rather start off walking, then jogging, then running, then ramp up to sprinting.  To me, static stretching isn't even a warmup activity. I like the term warmup; you want to get some exertion going before the activity.      a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb; } tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6; } tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5; }

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By jsgolfer · Posted

      Going to Florida for the usual February golf trip, and with our current weather, that date won't get here soon enough. Heading to Augusta GA for the Tuesday Master's practice round, will definitely get some golf in while I'm in the area for a few days. Hope to be able to catch up with @coachjimsc if he's around. Then it's back to Scotland first of July.  Playing 7 new courses, can't wait for that.  Then somewhere after that is the Rhode Island CC Member-Guest and then my normal October golf trip to Myrtle Beach.
