Your right foot comes up early because you have a hip thrust and you lose your posture. Block/Hooks your miss? Probably have a shank every once in a while too. Google it, there will be a bunch of tips for you. Check out Titleist TPI too. Other than that, BS is a bit inside and long but looks like a decent swing. Driver looked like it came in a little steep though.

Need Help with my Iron's distance
Cizzle replied to Laurentius's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Stop flipping. Come into contact with a flat left (right if left handed) wrist. -
Get a new coach. If you have been with this guy for over two months and he has not made you better, but has made you worse, it's time for a wake up call. Especially if you have been putting in the effort that you say you have. I just hope you did not get a package deal so you're stuck with him

I disagree. Many children (adults too) plumb bobb it because the pros do. If anyone thinks Tiger (and he's not the only one, I've seen Nick O'hern and Pat Perez do as bad if not worse than Tiger with slamming clubs) slamming clubs is not a big deal, then you have not experienced another golfer do it in real life. I witnessed a playing partner do a Tiger on 10 at Turnberry and it ruined the entire hole for all four of us. No one could speak because it was so awkward and frightening. If you are a real man and a real golfer, you should be able to control your emotions and not disrupt your playing partners. Even Arnie made fun of Tigers reactions. P.S. I spit and cuss on the golf course. I am strictly talking about throwing and slamming golf clubs.

Instructor Dilemma ("Stack and Tilt" Style Guy)
Cizzle replied to iacas's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I'm with everyone else on this, it sounds like it would not be a good fit. Also, the guy sounds like he's going to be a cookie cutter instructor. He has only one method and one way of teaching and will not adapt to your swing. But try him out for a lesson see what you think. I do think you're taking the right step with getting lessons though, I've been there when you hit a wall and you really do need an instructor to help you get through that block. I think when you do find a great instructor and start getting lessons, you'll think to yourself "Why did I not do this years ago!" As for your swing, I remember seeing it a year ago and even you know your backswing is a little too flat. I used to be in the same boat as you, and although it's easier said than done, getting your backswing more upright will improve your swing instantly. Swing in front of the mirror and get your backswing more upright, it might feel as though your club is going outside the target line (for me it did) and even way too vertical, but I bet you that'll do wonders. Best of luck. -
Andrew Magee got suspended from the Golf Channel for saying "I just saw a fan wearing a T-shirt that read, 'I got kicked out of the Boy Scouts for eating a brownie.' " Thoughts? Should they have suspended him? Apparently he thought he was off the air when he said it and Gary Mccord did not find the shirt amusing.

Why don't Srixon staffers play Srixon drivers?
Cizzle replied to Chris5573's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Other way around And Furyk is using the 909 still I believe and has used TM in the past. -
Have not seen a thread about this yet. If I missed it please close. http://www.pgatour.com/2008/r/12/15/...ton/index.html Do you guys think they made the right choice? I thought Paddy should have won PotY over Tiger, and am happy for him that he did. Thoughts?

Hmm, it looks like you have too much weight on your heels, which could lead to a flatter swing. Try putting more weight on the balls of your feet and see what happens.

I sure hope you get that converter box, or you won't have any any TV! Seriously, do you have rabbit ears or something? -And Tirico is a pro.

I don't know who that was directed at, but I'll respond. I basically wanted/want to know how exactly the driver is designed. Looking at it, my Tour Burner could have a closed face, so when I set up with the shaft straight up/leaning back, it looks like I'm going to pull the ball. This caused me to to pull the head back, increasing loft, which increased the height. But I was losing distance like I have said. I was just wondering if anyone knew how the driver should sit at address.... Maybe the problem is I should hover then align.... Don't really know how your post helped anyone.

jonanthans, the BCS is far from perfect. The difference between College Football and every other college sports, hell even the NFL, is that every game matters . Week 13 in the NFL you know about 9-10 of the teams in the spots. This waters down the last 4 weeks of the regular season and it drags on. Who cares about College Basketball regular season? I'm in college and I don't. But I do love March Madness. College Baseball regular season is terrible to watch. That is why the playoff system would cause the regular season to water down. Would Iowa beating Penn St. be a big deal? Yes. Would it kick them out of an 8 team playoff? Nope. So no big loss there. there arent 8 teams that are worthy by the time the last regular season game is played Disagree again. Lee Corso was talking about an 8 team playoff being taking the winner of each conference and an at large or two bid, so maybe two Big XII teams could get it. Guess who gets left out? OU, Texas, Texas Tech or even Oklahoma State. Guess who gets left out? Bama, FU, possibly even UGA. It'll happen every time. It's just not that simple to have a playoff. In your scenario, it was 4 teams playing. There are more than 4 teams that should be allowed in your playoff. Hell, there's 3 that are in the same division! What about Penn St? What about Tech or Texas if you invite OU, what about Bama if you invite FU? How does it work? And yes, SOS is hard to determine at the beginning of the year. But there is no denying Utah has had it much harder than Boise, by far. The toughest game Boise has is playing at Eugene. Tough game indeed. But one game doesn't prove anything. Utah played a terrible Michigan game at the big house, even though Michigan flopped that still gets you points. They also beat Oregon St, along with CSU. Both were at home yes, but at least they're schedule decent out of conference teams unlike Boise or God forbid Ball St. It's very easy to see who has had a harder road, and Utah has had a much harder road than Boise by far. Hence why if they run the tables, they earned a BCS game. Boise on the other hand, can have a decent bowl game, but don't let them ruin my BCS games like Hawaii did last year. I'll say it again, a playoff really will not amount to anything IMO. I think the system is far from perfect, but it really adds to drama every single week. And I could be in the minority here, but I love football. And I love seeing 6-5 teams out of conference actually play each other in random bowls on a random Tuesday in late December. Do you remember the UCLA BYU game last year? I do. Do you remember the great game between Boise and East Carolina with ECU pulling it out? I do. Do you remember when my Sun Devils didn't show up to play Texas, and Mac Browns (i think) son touched a live ball? I do. These bowl games are great, so please don't try and tell me they're a joke. The bowl system is great IMO. You have 32 winners, and 32 losers. The only problem I see is the non-BCS schools taking spots away from real teams in the BCS Bowl games . Mizzou should've gone instead of Hawaii last year, but because of Boise, everyone thinks that these undefeated teams are great and should even be considered for the National Title! You gotta be kidding me. Mizzou and UGA last year would have been a great Sugar Bowl, but instead the BCS decides to let Hawaii in and be an embarassment. Didn't Colt Brennan have to be taken out of the game eventually because UGA beat him up so bad Lol. I think we should keep the Non-BCS schools out of the BCS bowls, unless of a tougher schedule like Utah went through. I really do think that would fix a lot of problems. If someone could honestly develop a great playoff system that would not mess with the regular season, and can somehow have it where a deserving team is not left out, and an undeserving team is not let in, I would be all for it. You don't think I would love to see a Bama and Texas play eachother to move on to the National Title to Play either USC/FU. It would be great drama. But I just don't see it working out like that. -Sorry for the long post, didn't realize how long it was til I previewed it

What can you tell me about the ys-6 shaft?

Thanks. Anyone else know exactly how the driver should be sitting at address?

People think it is so easy to make a playoff system and everything will be fine. It won't. People will always be left out in a 4, 8, even 16 team playoff everytime . There are too many teams in the FBS. So I do not think a playoff will really amount to anything. What we need to do is have teams start treating every game like it is a playoff. Hey Pete, wanna have a guaranteed Nation Title shot? How about you show up in Corvallis. Urban Meyer, you should and I think your Gators will go to the Nation Title, but next time show up when you play Ole Miss. and make a damn extra point. JoePa, how about you treat your game in Iowa like it is a playoff and not give up when you have the lead in the 4th quarter. Although I am glad Penn St lost, because we do not need another garbage Big 10 team playing for the National Title. This is the reason teams like Texas/Oklahoma should/are above USC, because they actually lost to a legitmate team. I do hope USC and Florida play for the BCS Championship though, what a great game that would be. The problem with the BCS is the non-BCS teams. They should place a rule for next year something along these lines: To play for the National Title, you must have a strength of schedule

I didn't know how to describe the Title well. But with the club head of a driver, do you have the shaft leaning back and the driver head pointing towards the sky a little, creating more loft? I've found when I just let the club head sit like it wants to, I hit bullets that do not get very high in the air, but roll out much longer. If I have the shaft leaning back at address ( Like some of the pros here ) I get a driver shot that looks much better, but doesn't roll out as much as I would like and I have found I lose about 10-15 yards (but I get much more carry than if I just let the driver sit). Sorry for the confusion, anyway, do you pull the driver head back slightly to catch it on the upswing or just let it sit how it wants to? I'm confused, because if you pull the shaft back away from the target, you basically create more loft on the driver right? Just wondering if anyone knows how I should approach the set up with the actual driver club, not the stance. -Thanks

Umm... Not exactly. It's not arresting prostitutes when they come forward to report a crime i.e. rape.

.... The defining moment of this election was when the housing market crashed and the stock market fell apart.... Anyone who knows anything about politics knew Obama would be president at that point. Check the Gallup polls, McCain was up/even, and then never has the lead again. It reminds me of the Futurama episode. " My first order of business is to blame everything on the guy before me ." An easy win for the Dems, no matter who was running. As for "I guarantee that no politician will ever make the mistake of disregarding his/her opponent's service record ever again.", you do not know how politics work. It's a tactic, the Republicans used it and it worked for Kerry, they used it again and it had no real impact on Obama. The Dems tried it on McCain and it was immediately gone because it made them look bad. It really is a game, if Obama messes up in office, do not expect a Dem as president for at least 2 terms. If he does well, expect him here for 8 years. P.S. Why is no one talking about gas prices, global warming, etc. Because Obama is on the offensive saying 8 years of Repubs have screwed everyone, and because JM is on the defense. No one cares that gas prices are down at least 20% (here), but that we're in an economic crisis.

Congrats Philly Phans, close games (besides the 4th) but in the end Philly was a much better team. I know on Wednesday, TB being down one in the 9th with Lidge, it was a lock. Although, it did look like there was a chance to tie. The hour and a half game on Wednesday was awesome, maybe baseball should have more double headers, the first game 9 innings, the second a 4 inning game at prime time
-
I would suggest not trying to hit down with your irons and not trying to sweep with a driver. Just swing . I know, if only things could be that simple But it all comes down to your posture/set up. You should be set up so that you swing bottoms out after the ball from wedge to your hybrid, and set up so that when you make the same exact swing as you did with your wedge, your driver bottoms out before you hit the ball and you catch it on the upswing. Go and study/read about how to get into the correct stance, it will help you wonders.

--It's at 4:55 It's funny how very few people actually pay attention though. Kind of sad. Politics is just manipulating the dumb. Let's raise minimum wage so you can get more money!.. Except that only makes businesses raise prices, so it just creates inflation I'm with iacas though, can not wait until all of this ends. Don't know if it will be until January 20th though. God, can not imagine what it will be like on MNF with Berman interviewing Obama and McCain. Berman : So Obama, your tax cuts for the rich is going back, back, back, back, GONE!

Could not disagree with you more. I think this World Series will be the most exciting in a long time. The problem is no one outside of Pennsylvania cares about the Phillies and well, no one cares about the Rays. But this series is going to go 6 maybe 7, and will be close each game. You know what a boring World Series is? Bosox and Rockies, Tigers and Cardinals. Those matchups were god awful. This matchup is great. -Just noticed where you are. Now it makes sense.

Well, as we all remember, Michelle has always been embarassed of America. So I guess someone could make a logical assumption that if Obama was actually proud of America, he could change her mind after being married to her for over 15 years.
