  1. It's not about swinging 80% or 120%, it's the synchronization and tempo that distinguishes them from you, they are all going at it, you just can't tell because they are not over-swinging. Let's take Payne Stewart vs. Nick Price, the difference in tempos leads one to believe that NP is swinging much harder than Payne and he's not. Try jumping rope, it will help you find your natural rhythm and help you get your hands, arms and lower body in sync.
  2. Aim further right. Assuming you were fit for your irons and your game is decent, you could ruin your season adjusting lie angles or tweaking your swing. Golf is a game of adjustments so try the easy ones first. Sometimes the simplest fixes are the most effective ones.
  3. http://www.elitegolfcenter.com/ Not to far away in Seekonk. Great facility that a lot of local pro's use.
  4. Slazenger Black Label is a 3 piece with a Urethane cover. On clearance at DSG for $14.97.
  5. DSG now has these for $14.97. Picking up a couple of dozen today.
  6. I believe it's around 55% of retail. Dry-joys used to cost me $72. ProV1's were $25 per dozen. Last item I bought was a 907D2 which cost me $172. I am not an employee but have a close friend who is.
  7. I have a 19* with the 85G Rombax in stiff? PM if interested.
  8. I've heard that the rice solution works as well. A friend used this remedy with his iPhone and it worked again after about a week of sitting in the bag.
  9. Doesn't look so good for my Celts right now..
  10. Guys, this is a DRILL to help him learn to rotate through the ball. I've seen this work for golfers at my club since this is the first drill the golf pro uses to force people to turn and release through impact. To a guy who can hit the ball straight this may not seem to work but for someone who has an arms only swing it really shows them what muscles they need to use to complete the swing. I'm sure the people that this drill has helped would agree that it triggers the body into the right positions because of the turn restrictions. He will notice an improvement from the first few swings. What may not work for you may work for someone else.
  11. It doesn't restrict turn. It's has the effect of putting your feet together but going pigeon toed really loosens up your back and hips.
  12. The par saveing put that goes in the hole always does it for me..
  13. Try these two things; Take your normal stance but pigeon toe both feet. I guarentee you will rotate your body and hands through the ball. Give it at least 20 or 30 swings because you'll need to loosen some muscles that your're not using right now. If you swing too hard you'll lose your balance so swing at a pace wher you can hold a finish. The other is to place a ball on a tee about 6-8 inches forward of your regular ball position.You should go for that ball with and ideally hit a hard hook. The hook is ok because the clubface should be shutting and turning over. That will also give you the feel of closing the clubface. If your still slicing then you are probably taking the club away too inside and causing your wrists to roll. Practice taking the club away under your kitchen cabinets for a bit to get the feel of the proper takeaway.
  14. The Tour Chromes do have some glare when you open the face in a bunker for example.
