Flopshot

Stopping dead is better than spinning back . Just cos it looks flash doesnt mean that its better. You have no control . On the Spin Back but you can aim somewhere where you would like it to stop dead.

Ok set a target for yourself.,, Say when i break 90 im gonna buy a new set of clubs then buy yourself something like ping g5's or big berthas or mizuno mx 15's then keep these till your single digits buy a scotty Cameron putter By some decent wedges like clevelands,Callaway tour, Titleist vokeys Remeber to get Custom fitted DOnt pay 300- 400 for a new driver get a last season one trust me there better value for money Get yourself a lob wedge while you still got your wilsons a 60 degree bad boy learn how to hit flopshots and sand shots i expect at the mo your hitting it thin a lot. i was when i was beggining

MY first birde i remember i hit a 2 iron of the tee dead straight left me half a wedge landed behind the stick and rolled off, then i putted of the fringe 30 ft then in hahaha

im gonna be working on long game accuracy and my swing this time of year the greens are to inconsistent for me i normally do shortgame during the summer i keep my long game simple in summer and just tweek if need be. This winter im making big swing changes its taken me 4 weeks to hit a ball but its worth it i originally thought i could go down to 11 handicap but now im confident its gonna be single figures. IM also gonna work on putting technique only because its my worst area and my swing is now getting close to what im looking for. My bad shots are much much better . Get to the range practise drills to improve your swing eg weight transfer hips and torso movement, shoulder turns get these right for the summer

ok LEts look at it thisa way WHats your total budget ? How much do you wanna spend and when do you want lessons(paramount) and clubs

I agree Spend your money on lessons first.. Though to say dont hit anything higher than a 6 iron well thats personal. you might be ok with 3 to 5 irons. I personally dont like hybrids im more confident with an iron any day(you may differ). Im on my 2nd set of clubs my first ever set was a set of mizuno think there mx 20's or something like that. after i had a consistent swing i got custom fitted for ping g2's now im gonna get some titleist 735s. Best advice is get a few good lessons under your belt £500/$1000 of lessons will help you a lot more than that amount on clubs(not that you need to spend that much). once your chosen pro has got you settled with a consistent swing your both happy with , that will be the time to look at new clubs(custom fitting essential) the most important bit of equipment in the bag is your PUTTER dont skimp on a putter!!!! I got a scotty cameron Newport its mustard.(NO OFFENCE to these brands) but dont pay £15/$30 for a hippo or petron something cheap spend more money on putter and wedges and less on your irons( If you can afford too) also get custom fitted for this too. find somewhere with a SAM Puttlab which will show you all you need. At the end of the day its up to you but i know for a fact my game is improving better because of LESSONS--->PRACTISE--->CUSTOM FIT EQUIPMENT ... in that order Listen to your pro he will obviously help you with this .make sure you find a pro that likes to teach golf not one that just wants to make money. I used to get an hour lesson and it would end in 59 minutes. My new pro is more relaxed and really enjoys teaching he often spends an extra 20 minutes for free just to help your game etc ok Good Luck Hope this info helps

Hey after about 3 or 4 weeks for me my swing is improving slowly. I went out today played 9 holes(IN BAD WIND AND LIGHT RAIN) shot 43 which is cool. i could of scored better. check this out i hit 2FIR 2 GIR i got back 2back pars on 6(4) and 7(3) 20 of my 43 shots were putts (that is poor) i scored 18 stableford points. So needless to say i was a bit more consistent and comfortable with my swing today, My chipping was close too. give it another 3 or 4 weeks then i should be comfortable enough to swing at full speed again when im happy im gonna get fitted for some titleist irons and perhaps some vokey wedges. thing is i know for a fact i could of saved 4 putts today then "hey im in the 30's". on the 5th hole i left a s/wedge short took to much ground and hit the chip long then three putted .... If.. sorry... IF i hit a better wedge your looking at birdie or par. i actually dbl bogeed so hey theres another 2 shots i definately should of saved $$$. Really i should of shot a 37 other than that i can say im happy with what i achieved having changed my swing and stuff, i look forward to going out again. Good Luck Guys

If your hitting the ball well dont worry about it. if not go to a pro and get proper advice to match your swing. if you change something in your swing you mightaffect your accuracy or consistency. If your hitting fairways and hitting greens just relax go play golf

I like Sergio Hes cool Dont know about spitting in the cup that was a bit silly but hes a great golfer he needs to hole some winning putts im sure he'll get the hang of it. the only problem with him is his. trousers are too tight get some clothes that fit mannn

I t should help as it promotes a flatter swing plane. Yes he is sliding a bit as well remember to conentrate on turning the body through the ball . the Garcia Video Link should explain the hip action torso then hands. sergio is almost at the target before he starts to bring his hands through . the player will only cut across the ball if he leaves his shoulder open. which is different to turning them through.

i think your using your hands to soon in the down swing remember to turn your hips then torso towards the target first. If you turn your body befor your hands it keeps the club on plane you are probably tipping the club up a bit steep on the top of the back swing. ONE more thing keep ya right knee a bit more flexed. check out a swing video of sergio garcia on you tube watch his hips move first this will give you an idea of what im saying . hope this helps http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjtuBfTd2hk

Im gonna work on my full swing and all areas in winter, in the summer i concentrate on chipping and putting those are key. i have limited facilities where im from i swear if i lived in the states i'd be on tour hahaha

this is too true to believe. especially if your out on the course. imagine taking a good routine then putting it in the trees you'll double the time your round takes and annoy yourself more

Hello there. I might not have enough information for you as yet but i can share with you what ive done so far.. First of all, I havent played half the amount of golf you have this year because for me its been a busy year for work plus i moved house etc.. My game has improved this year still. My long game and my swing Have been ok so i left them alone and just played golf . havent been to the range really much. The only thing i have practiced all year is chipping and some putting. i have only been able to play nine hole sessions after work in summer i have gone form shooting 47s 48's 50's to shooting 39's t0 43's Remember i have not even blinked at my long game i just went out on the course and swung the club. Later on in the season from late september to now I decided to start working on my long game as i were struggling a bit on the driver and eventually through the range of clubs i hit a few shots short/right slicey etc. Now was the time i needed Proper lessons. I been playing golf for nearly three years i had a few lessons not many. I went to this guy who trains at the National Training academy at the Belfry. He has a local range near me. He hooked me up on this thing called the k vest and believe you me its absolutely amazin. It tought me that i was leaning towards the target on my backswing and away from it on my downs swing amongst other things i mention later. Hence my open club face and high shots reducing power and consistency So i have to learn now to keep my body and weight in the right places during the swing. Like you mentioned I cant even go back to my old swing... (This is going to be the first winter that i train and practice to improve my golf so im sticking at it ) I went away and practised for a few times in the week . I recommend that you practise three times and play once or twice a week that works for me any way . You should get some rest in the schedule as you cant go on forever trust me. i returned to my pro he hooked me up on the K vest again I had improved in the small time i had on the body position. now he was trying to get my hips to turn LESS in the back swing and turn my hips torso then hands on the down swing .. This for me is more difficult. By now i totally havent got a clue how i used to swing the club .. I have played 3 times since these changes and i must say I have been totally useless.... ... BIG Swing changes take a lot of time to perfect and practice till you can hit the ball with confidence i have had a few shorter lessons to adjust bits and pieces but i still cant say ok par 3 168 yards Thats a 7 iron .ok im swinging the club a lot slower until im comfortable with my swing then i can swing faster. Like i mention my club selection is all over the place im still hitting inconsistent shots but hey I was swinging the club one way for two and a half years now my body has to get used to the changes. I will hope to cut my handicap on a personal level down to about 11 next year. I know i am capable I see it as a realistic target. I have also had a putting lesson but this was less off a problem because i needed less adjustment I will continue to train in all areas in the winter but prefebly the swing . When the spring summer comes(I will play more golf next season) I will probably do the same again and concentrate on chipping and putting etc and let my swing be. By then hopefully i will be comfortable with my long game changes, have some consistency and accuracy. I am not expecting to play very well immediately i appreciate the time it will take . I can Say im enjoying it and thats the main thing Im enjoying the challenge. Good Luck Rebuilding your swing
