My book arrived today and I am at my 11 year old daughters basketball practice. Tonight just got a little less painful.

I really wasn’t sure what my expectations of LSW were. I had heard a decent bit about it, but it almost always seemed to be about shot zones and separation value (incredibly useful things in their own

Been re-reading the book...last night I was on page 89 where Erik discusses the Gate drill and Double Gate drill.  The idea came to me that my grandson's small play football goal would make a perfect

For those that bought the book a few questions:

1) How long did it take to ship to your house? I ordered mine 10 days ago and am still ANXIOUSLY awaiting its arrival!

2) What was the one thing you immediately implemented that had the most impact?

You might have wanted to post this in the book's thread instead of a new one.  You'd get more responses as people follow that one.

As for #1, have you contacted the author?  

As for #2, chapters 26 & 27 have had the biggest immediate impact on me, although I knew about #26 (from the author) before the book was published.

I hope this thread is okay to post this in.  The question arises from something in the book.

One of the at-home putting drills involves a metal yardstick.  I don't actually own one, and I'm going to get one so I can do the drill, especially because I've been worried a bit lately as to whether I start my putts on the intended line (it could also be rust, but even if it is, I should be practicing and improving that).  I have no idea what to look for in one.  I'm likely to just buy from Amazon, so if there's a particular suggestion from there, I'm fine with that.  

I have a ... paper? or some other soft substance thing that I can put a golf ball on and measure a yard, but I don't think it'd be good for the drill.

You want:

  • Metal (thinner than wooden yardsticks, often aluminum).
  • A hole on one end, ideally.
  • Uhhh… it to be 36" in length. Though a metal meter stick is okay too. ;-)

$2.98 at Lowe's. Fits in your golf bag.

Excellent, thank you!  I'm going to be near a Lowe's for sure in the next week.  I may have to deliberately go there sooner though.

Wait, they ship for free and it will get to me before I get to them.  Problem solved.  Thanks again!

Thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot.  Surprisingly large amount of never before read content.  Very glad I bought it, and will be referring back to it often.  Well done!

Just became aware of LSW today, ordered my copy just now from the book website. Looking forward to reading it, and hope to apply yet this season (end of Sept here). Better late than never...

Guess that's another badge?

Possibly more, such as "tournament winner" that you might get from applying what you learn :-)

I've only been on TST for a few months. I don't remember exactly what led me to this thread and the book, but it started with finding this EXCELLENT thread a couple days ago.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
