Here is the DTL and here is the FO

6I DTL How do I get more hip movement and throw. Any drills most appreciated.

Moving back to Houston next summer and was looking for suggestions on reasonably priced country clubs. Needs to have great practice facility and good course architecture. Looking at probably around Cypress, Katy areas. But again, good golf club and school district will drive the home buying decision :) Appreciate all suggestions. Thanks,

There are budding young golfers in India who make their living as caddies by earning $5 an 18 hole round. Limited financial resources limit them from playing to their potential and they have to play with borrowed sets or best case , very old donated used sets. This group is created for all golf lovers and people who want to help these budding talent blossom into future stars. Help can be in the form of funds, donated equipment, instruction, materials or any other form. Please help in advancing the game of golf by including as many people from different parts of the society. Who knows, the next PGA tour star may be a caddy from India. I have created a Facebook help group and we appreciate all help and support to make this happen. Here is the link to the page. Let me know if it works and please send us requests to join the group. https://m.facebook.com/groups/262359377287514?ref=bookmark

[QUOTE]Thanks. I've moved on to not using anything. Worked pretty well today: http://www.gamegolf.com/round/86278 .[/QUOTE] Awesome ! How does one score like that ? I always screw-up when I am getting close to even on a round :-( - don't know why. But I must say, it has been a hard, frustrating but delightful journey from 24 to 3ish in three and half years. And Evolvr played a big role in shaping my game. On another note how do I order a copy of your book to be shipped to India ? The ebay site does not have a India ship option.

[QUOTE]Last one shows the rope around my midsection. I bought some bungee cords on the way home at Ollie's. [/QUOTE] I use a Theraband and swing plane perfector and that seems to be a little more flexible and works too.

I am getting a dynamic loft of about 30 and AoA of +2 on a Epon 9 Iron blade. SS of about 77 and Spin about 7800 - on the average. Ball position N.O. Does this look right ? I would imagine, an AoA of -5 or so is more likely at that loft. Does not look like I am flipping on the camera. I am running the 5.47 firmware and the 8.05 version of the Flightscope software - so the earlier iron AoA problems of Flightscope are fixed I imagine. Appreciate any insights. Thanks much.

Yes, but we don't know by how much and that is why a calibration. But that is complicated because club head shape, loft variation across the face, shaft properties etc will determine the bending moment due to gear effect eg. Trackman estimates face based on AoA, Launch Angle and path primarily. So , net-net we have an idea but we do not know the club face angle at impact. So then comes the question, how correct are the ball flight law assumptions that initial direction of launch is based on the face angle ? Trackman assumes 85 deg face for initial launch. Enzo and computer simulations show 60 percent is dependent on face. So, I think this perhaps has deeper implications on our assumptions and understanding of ball flight physics.

Sure . I guess I will put the question other way round. Let's say I know the ball was toed and lets say I also want to measure by how much , through some marker on the face, is it then possible to calibrate for the actual face angle ? Possible - but too complicated for getting a generalized compensation. I guess optics is the only way , but at that frequency the sampling rates will be very high and the economics are not that compelling. Thanks for your help.

True. But I can never get the real club face angle right ? So, lets say I have an "actual" (6,3) push draw strike, but my trackman shows (6,4) due to 1/2 " crown side toe strike , ball flight will still be push draw. Any thoughts on GC / I would imagine optics should be able to get it right

How does one know the face angle presented at impact is indeed open ( closed ) and is not the face angle opening (closing) due to gear effect of a toe ( heel) strike as I believe these units derive these values after impact ? Thanks for your help/insights

Looking for used Flightscope KUDU unit + activation code

Looking for a used Trackman II , indoor + outdoor with video and TPS

I am looking to change from my AP2 to blades. I am leaning towards the Miuras but I am told that the Epon AF Tour blades are superb. Anybody have any experience with the Epons? Any experiences or information most appreciated

I think you can get very good. 1. This gentleman I play with has been playing for 35 years. Great short game and consistency. Here is his swing 2. This kid I play with has been playing for 12 years. Here is his swing What do you think are their handicaps ? 1) 5.4 Index 2) 6.5 Index

Quote: Curious why you would want to do that. Have someone call you every time you want to practice your tempo? If you look at learning models for intuitive assimilation of patterns - arguably the best settings are natural settings. So yes, every time somebody calls me - and I do get a lot of calls, hopefully over time the assimilation and it's repeatability when I am actually swinging with the tour tempo is more intuitive and natural. Anyways , it was kind of John to send me over the .m4r files

I really like this. Think the key thing is to get this ingrained. Is there a way to set the track as a part of the iPhone ringtone ?

thanks folks - any pointers as to how the monday qualifiers work ?

sorry folks, here it is again - hope it's visible now

One of my friends from my club was asking if there is a way he could participate in the web.com tour. He plays the Indian and Asian circuit and was wondering as to how he could qualify for the tour if he is from India. Any information or help most appreciated. btw, here is my friend , Shankar's swing

+1 - Orange County Panther Lake is a tough course though, runs at a CR of 76 from the green tees, Crooked Cat is easier - wasn't that pricey when I played last summer at 40$ in the afternoon Champions Gate is another good course specially the International course which is a links style course - 35$s or so for a late tee off

Super idea. Couple of things that needs to be worked out. 1. Shipping logistics - costs of shipping to India. We need to look at options for this. The US consulate here regularly transports stuff for itself from US to Calcutta. I will talk to them and see if they can help us in shipping it free as a part of "Project Ballboy". The other possibility is for our club to pick up the shipping charges. 2. Customs - We should be able to get around any customs charges, if they are designated as donations from a US initiative for upliftment of game in India etc. etc. 3. Management - If we give the clubs away to the ball-boys they might sell it for food :( This process needs to be managed and I think and RCGC could manage the process of storing, monitoring and managing the distribution. I will talk to them.

Our club has something called ballboys, who pickup the balls from the range and the chipping area . Most of these kids are amazing golfers. They rarely get to play, don't have clubs and manage to hit a few balls on the range by borrowing clubs from members. Here's the swing of a ballboy named Shanu. He earns 2$s a day as a ballboy , works for 10 hours a day and if he is lucky gets to hit a few balls in the range ...
