i'd like to see some tips on how to use your lower body correctly? all you hear on sunday telecasts is turn and rotate! no one tells you how to use your feet and where the weight should be at the top of the swing and at impact. i think this would help some of us seniors who are limited in flexibility or had a injury (knees) that limits our using our legs correctly. thanks

yes, this is exactly what i need help on with my drives, i just have to the problem of trying to smash the ball too the green on a 340yd par 4 when i know that i can only get 300 with the ball be landing right where i want it.

I need to know how to go about adjusting the 910 D2 & F series clubs as I have 1 of each.

By this I mean what kind of ball flight should I be looking for?

Right now My ball flight with the driver is above the tree line & carry of only around 200 yards.

I have a 22 degree hybrid that will do that.

I think I have too much spin on the ball as it has a near vertical drop at end of flight.

My swing speed is 86 mph average.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thaks,

Louis

My short game is pretty good, My biggest problem is keeping the drive in the fairway. I slice my drive and that usually sends the ball into no mans land, ends up lost or out of bounds and that costs me a lot of extra strokes. Once I get better off the tee I will shoot decent scores.

speed is definately everything

I am not a professional but at a recent fitting I had 5000 rpm of backspin which was way too much. The fitter set me up with a 910 D3 which helps me reduce spin and a stiffer shaft. I was able to get my spin down to around 2500 rpm and picked up about 40 yards in the air and about that much additional overall also. My first suggestion would be to get fit if you haven't been fit recently or ever been fit. I'de also consider testing out a 910 D3 if you are absolutely sure it is too much spin.

Reading Greens

Putting speed. If I could stop three putting I would save 5 or 6 stokes a round.I'm trying to go to the putting green after work a few times a week now, which has helped a little but I am still three putting multiple greens when I go out. I feel like I read the greens fairly well, but can't get the speed right. Thanks, David

I'd like to see distance control from 125 yds and in. I think most of the pros typically see the 125, 115, 100, 90, and 80 yard distances as scoring opportunities and amateurs need to also focus on these distances to score better. I don't know how many times I've seen a guy rip a drive only to be left with a short distance and hit their short iron into a bunker or miss a green completely.

i would like to have tips & drills to maintain my good rhythm.

i get it easy and lose it even easier.

 

thanks a bunch!

I need expert advice re my driver.  I feel my setup is good as is my take away but at the top bad things happen as I end up coming outside to in at the bottom of the stroke.  I feel that if I could learn to draw the ball half my problems would be solved.  With my long irons 80% of shots head right of the target.  Hoping for some advice or training drills.  Keith Mitchell

For sure it's my driver.  Consistently hitting my 905R straight is an issue.  I gain have 5 great drives at the range then sky 5 in a row.  

My irons and wedges are in good shape.  Putting is getting better with my new Scotty Newport 2 (never made putts or got close with my Oydessy).

I would love to see some stuff on short game consistancy and technique.

I would like to see hitting second shots as I struggle hitting the ball straight I keep pulling it alot of the time

These are my pitch distances at 50 yards: 1. Full golf shot with 64 deg 2. Full pitch with 60 3. Slightly choked pitch with 54 or 56 4. 1/2 swing pitch with PW 5. Choked 1/2 swing pitch with 9 iron. 7. Chip shot with a 7 iron. The way you control your distance is by backswing length and how much you choke down on the handle. Some teach that 10:30 is full swing, 9:00 is half and 7:30 is 1/4. Mine is 9:00, 8:00, 7:00 (arm position). A full wedge swing is really a 3/4 swing. For every 1/2 inch you choke down, you shorten distance by 10 yards for full swing, 5 yards for 1/2 swing, and 2.5 yards for 1/4 swing/chip. It is about a 2/3 rule of thumb (1/2 pitch is 2/3 distance of full pitch, 1/4 pitch is 2/3 distance of 1/2 pitch). Grab your short irons and experiment with backswing lengths, amount you choke down, stance width, etc.
