hi im no pro but i play off 6 .all id say is i personally think its all taught wrong we should be stopping our body rotation as much as possible . people are taught to use the body rotaion for power but this is not good for accuracy .im a believer its the hands and arms that create the power and the body is a stabeliser for that . look at a ferris wheel the body is the ferris wheel support and the pods are the arms and hands try that

Just a mini skirt

my tip would be to hit the ball at the target lol and take up tiddly winks

i meant 7 oclock sorry not 5 that would cause slice

Iv tried all the above and more without success.then just the other day whilst hitting balls it just entered my head to do this. i swing back straight back to 6 oclock(12 oclock is target). I only concentrate on my left arm angle.so when my arm reaches paralel to the ground just befor reaching the top i concentrate on my arm angle to face 5 instead of 6.so my back swing is nice and slow up to 6 oclock then just think and feel your left arm change the angle or arm line from shoulder to hand to 5 oclock then swing in that order.i feel that my shots have more power ,better connection and the only mistake is a draw or hook at worst. I have looked at so many tips on this and have never heard anyone describe the downswing this way. i would appreciate if anyone who trys this can thay please send me their comments on this site or my email which is philco@live.co.uk..i find that when i change my arm angle conciously my legs start the swing automaticly. good luck , and if im talking rubbish let know that too ,10 handicap . hope it helps every one

i was looking at the d plane video and noticed that the ball flight angle on a straight drive was about 10 percent below the trajectory of the actual club face angle verticaly.now as we know the face is say 85 percent initial direction.If we open the face would that mean that the flight would be just left of the open face due to the lower trajctory? you seem a bit clever erik what do you think?

what i would tell you to do is close ur club face and when you star hitting a pull which will go straight left.keep that swing and aim to the right. job done ,look up new swing laws v old swing laws and you will understand why your slicing good luck

ok so i subconciously changed my set up to what the new ball flight laws say? maybe thenwe should never geta pro to help teach us ,we can teach our selves subconciously by just trial and error. if this was known befor trackman came long why wasnt everyone taught it.ould it be that this i secret to golf that so many of us are chasing?

i was shocked to hear yesterday that it is the club face angle that has 85 percent baring on the initial start of ball diection.Its a fact and been scientificly proved by trackman. So i went straight down the range to see if it worked. wel im not a pro so obviously there was no massive change but i will continue use the new flight law concept. jus one thing though. can anyone explain to me, why then when in the past, i have had to play a hook around a tree, its worked .why has the old flight worked for all the pros. surely the old flight lws would never have worked but did and does,so has trackman made a mistake?

well i believe him.whats wrong with you all, everyone seems to knock each other on here.Iwish i could bomb the ball like that too.he only wants to improve and is enquiring to become a better player.well jimbo slice i guess you are hitting slices with ur drives.I think you should work out what club to teeoff with to reach the 150 marker .So if you have a par 4 which is 420 .tee off with the club you hit 270,which may be a 4 iron for you. then yu have an easy wedge to the green, and watch ur handicap drop good luck
