Your best tips

I like the swing out to right field tip. That's a swing thought I often use.

It's good in a jam, but can lead to long term faults. The best tip I got was $20.

Agree. It's a good tip to help get someone swinging on a decent path but it can get you a little hooky if overdone. My misses tend to be either big pushes or hooks. I used to be a chronic slicer.

[quote name="iacas" url="/t/77720/your-best-tips/30_30#post_1070078"] I think you missed the joke. [/quote]Actually, I think he was confusing the joke ($20) with the real tip that Ernest was referring to ... which was the "swing out to right field" tip.

take the headcover off the putter before the stroke -

you get cleaner contact

True, but it does give a softer feel.

True, but it does give a softer feel.

This also applies with the driver??

I've seen Tiger on the practice range using a rolled up towel stretched across his chest held under each armpit. He was hitting iron shots and towel stayed in place. Not sure what you accomplish by this.

Yes, but at the expense of about a 90% loss in distance.

That is more of a drill than a tip for pressure points 4 and 5, to try and keep the arms from moving apart...I believe.

True, but it does give a softer feel.

Cleaner contact is not always better, especially when you're playing an unknown course for the first time.  I say, in the interest of safety for you and the course, put the headcover ON before the strokes.

Only after you are comfortable with the course to the point that you don't want to play any other courses, and are confident nobody else is playing your course, AND don't mind the risk that a mini golf course might be built next door (that you'd have to manage) would I recommend taking the headcover off.

I literally love that pillowy feel at contact

Just developing a feel on how he wants his arms to move in the swing.
