RE: ’golf lessons

QUESTION:
Dear David,

After reading your instructions, I have tried to follow them.

I am gaining good posture and follow through with the set up given.

But I am having some problem with the new grip instructions. I found that after impact the balls pulling to the left and there is no control in the direction of the ball flight. With my old grip which is having my left thumb on the grip in line with the club face, I can have accuracy of shots but without distance.

Can help me to change?

Kind regards

Geoff

RE: Driver Question

QUESTION:
I have all three DVDs now and have tried the Driver DVD at the range. I've been tied up with a few projects at home so I haven't been able to play recently. I have been having some problems lately with my woods lately, hitting off the heel and miss hitting. The Driver DVD helped my woods swing quite a bit, but I was still having trouble getting my hands to rotate consistently through the swing; also sometimes have this problem with my irons. I was having a shock in my wrists at times. I tried a grip change I read about in Golf Illustrated. The so-called optimum grip versus the Vardon grip (which I have used for about 35 years). The first five shots with an eight iron were within 6 feet of each other, straight on line. I tried it with the rest of the irons and found I now have a slight draw with the 5 iron on up. I had the same results with the woods. It seems to give up a little distance, but gives consistency in the shot and I don't have the shock in my wrists. I was wondering if this a good grip or am I just reacting to the change by concentrating more closely.

RE: RE: Merethe, The Simple Golf Swing - Setup Chapter

QUESTION:
Hello and many thanks for the information. I'll try this out the coming days.

I have another question. I never really seem to agree with my grip. It always feels a bit uncomfortable, and I find I take quite some time before I really get around to it. I would very much appreciate if you could give me some good advice for an easy technique and some pictures which I could try out. For your information : I'm right handed and quite long fingers which seems to have some impact on my grip, at least it gives this impression that there are too many fingers and not enough space. Funny, no? I guess you've heard this before.

Best regards,
Merethe

RE: RE: Right Elbow Pain

QUESTION:
Thanks for the arm first info-I will now start things that way and see how it works.

As to my grip, when the club head is in the middle of my stance (most of my iron shots) I see 2-3 knuckles on my left hand. When hitting my driver (which I slice the most) or 3 wood I keep my hands forward (about even with my left shoulder or left arm pit) so I don't see any knuckles. Should I be moving my left hand more to my right so that I do see my knuckles when hitting my woods/driver?

Also, I'm pretty sure I'm holding the club too tightly and I've been trying to loosen my club grip. Sometimes (about 2-3 shots per round) I hold it too softly as the club turns in my hands at impact. I guess that's just trial and error on my part.

RE: RE: Stanley, PurePoint Full Swing Pro Newsletter

QUESTION:
Bobby,

I got a bit away from lessons and today took another look at Kyle’s Shave 7 Strokes CD and went to the range. Amazing difference. Thanks again. Two questions:

1. I bought a new $20 Titlest glove and proceeded, in hitting about 70 balls to make a hole in the part of the glove on the pad at the bottom of my left hand below my little finger. I looked at an old glove and found the same hole. What does this say about my grip? Does this mean anything one way or another?

2. I noticed that sometimes the ball seemed to sail off the clubface with little to no effort whereas other times it went straight but only about 20-30 yards shorter, say with a 5 or 6 iron and didn’t feel as clean. I think the difference might have been when I turned my shoulders more evenly on backswing, the ball went very well but if I turned and really tried to ‘juice it’ then I dipped my right shoulder on forward swing and hit it a bit fat. How to avoid this?

I look forward to responses. Thank you.
Stan
