Have you seen my putting?

Thanks. Will try and upload a video :-)

Arnold Schwarzenegger's 6 Rules of Success. 1. Trust yourself 2. Break the rules 3. Don't be afraid to fail 4. Don't listen to the naysayers 5. Work your butt off 6. Give something back to your community

I'm no expert and might get shot down but just my opinion from what has worked for me... Looking at the down the line videos my advice would be to think about the rotation of your right wrist through the contact with the ball... In other words the feeling of your right forearm rotating over the top of the left forearm as you impact the ball. This closes the clubface through impact which will prevent a push and slice. What I like about your swing is the takeaway and rotation around the body fairly low.

Looking at those figures it appears I deloft then as the launch angle is lower... Not something I intend to do. Need to do some reading up on that. Thanks

Well I played today on course with a Garmin watch and the distances seem about right. Don't know about club head speed but the ball speed on the trackman for PW was 104 mph? As for the small differences between clubs I'm guessing that's just my inconsistencies

Thanks to both of you that illustration helps a lot. As far as I can see it will be ok because it can't be said my left arm is anchored as it does move albeit less than the right!

Couldn't see camera so not sure. On the screen it looks like pro tracer you would see on TV

Thought I would share my experience of today trip to a pro tracer range. So you set up with your own iPhone and away you go... Seems fairly accurate. No idea how it works as there is no visible radar etc? Had a look at averages all my carry and total yardages.... if interested they are (totals) 5-213 yards 6-208 7-192 8-183 9-175 P-162 52 degree-138 Sw- 132 Driver- 285 I obviously soon realised I need a 48 degree wedge! Had a few 315 drives though which was worth the money! Definitely worth doing. Any views on how accurate these things are compared to trackman? RS

So I use a putter in a conventional fashion however i putt in a very upright stance with a long shaft with a split hand grip.... So if you imagine I bend forward a few degrees and the shaft on my putter is 39.5 inches long. I grip the club with a gap of about 0.5 inches between my right hand which is the lowest on the shaft and my left which is higest on the grip (I'm a righty). Now as I say I swing in a conventional manner however my left forearm is resting on my stomach (do have abit of a big stomach). As it is a split hand grip it does look like the left hand/arm does not move as much as the right and my left forearm is in contact with my body through the stroke. Does this mean I would be breaking the rules next year because the anchoring ban says: Note 2: An “anchor point” exists when the player intentionally holds a forearm in contact with any part of his body to establish a gripping hand as a stable point around which the other hand may swing the club. ?

Cool. Will give them a go then!

Any idea on what this is? I.e their premium lower spinning ball?

Cheers

Too expensive! I had some top flight XL long a while back... Didn't like them one bit

That's great advice thank you. Was actually thinking of the supersoft so thanks

Hi, Can anyone recommend balls for me to try. What I'm looking for is a fairly low spin ball but not a cheap one if that makes sense. I want a ball which flys quickly off the driver fairly low and long but not with a rock hard feel to it. Around the greens my style is to roll towards the pin rather than trying to stop it but still want it to feel quite softish. I'm a 12 handicap and drive the ball 260-300 depending on weather - usually all around 275. I don't want a ball that spins a lot off the driver as occasionally will put side spin on with a lazy swing . Thanks Ps currently using prov1 x

I don't need help I was just discussing tips. Not sure I agree with you though- my grip pressure one adds at least 15 yards onto a drive so can't be a bad idea to listen to tips

Like those mate. Especially the visualisation

And a third one actually: 3: when chipping around the greens, hinge wrists on backswing and then use the rotation of your hips to 'hit' the ball rather than using arms and hands to hit it... More of a swing thought I guess

What tips or swing thoughts have really stood out for you and you can rely on again and again. Would be good to get a collection of tips which have really helped. For me there are 2 which I always use: 1: for any shot with any club.... Always 4/10 grip pressure. 2: if slicing the driver, think about the right armpit being closed on the backswing

Another thought of mine is tour pros keeping hold of clubs outside of their contract- I.e Rory keeping titleist clubs with nike and I think tiger had mizuno when with nike? That to me would seem to indicate a quality brand? Any other examples of this??

True, I was curious as to what brands are solely concerned with quality and not just selling to the masses. Out of the topbrands I have always considered callaway and titleist and ping would fit into this bracket as they are a one sport brand whereas nike, taylormade (addidas), cobra (puma) etc are invested in a all other sports?? Maybe wrong just my thoughts?

Hi, Any ideas on what brand of clubs the top amateur golfers use? I would suppose this is another way of asking what are the best brand of clubs without outside influences like sponsorship etc. thanks
