发帖数: 10701 | 1 i hit so well at range and took off to play 9 holes yesterday. What I wanted
to figure out was if my driver is not suitable for me any more. So I hit
two balls at each tee box except those 2 par3s, using my driver and 3-wood
respectively. What I knew was there was
only about 10 yards difference at most. Normally, there is supposed to be at
least 25-yard
difference.
I knew my shaft of driver is too soft and too light. The standard shaft
coming with the driver is a 50g, low kick Aldna one. My 3-wo |

发帖数: 467 | 2 ET, why don't you go and get a proper fit for your driver? try different
shafts and lofts combination.
you should use x-stiff shaft. hehe.
12 G.I.R. WOW, close to pros already. You should easily break par if you
spend some time on short game.
I pulled the muscle on my back. Can't hit balls. so I spent at least 1.5
hours every day on my short game last week. feel like improved a lot. Can't
wait to recover and see what i can do on course.

发帖数: 10701 | 3 Thanks man.
'coz my driver has an offset head, the cobra offset mspeed 10.5 degree.
which confused me a lot in terms of the alignment,especially when work with
my 3,5 wood. So I want to change it anyway. On the other hand, since I can
always hit the ball whereever i want, it's so hard for me to make any change
. Seriously, it's my favoriate club in my bag. it never betrays me.
its loft is not right for me as well. Cobra says this driver goes 245-265
yards . I guess I reach its up limit. Now I am |

发帖数: 10701 | 11 cross slope..
like right foot high, left foot lower, I called it hook lie. if it's on the
other way around, it's slice lie..
so after hitting many balls, the human body has to be adjusted to fit that
lie. if continue to hit in that slope for several days, or months, you will
image the body setup will be distorted. So it's hard to hit good balls from
a normal lie.
that's why I felt so good 2 days ago when pratice at those pro's spots. |

发帖数: 10701 | 14 hehe.. good luck, man.
it reminds me how I tried to hit solid shot in summer, 2005. I focus on that
part too.
golf swing is.. just like an endless loop, back and forth, back and forth...
I tried to work on my swing plane and downswing initiating today. Suddently,
the feel I had days ago disappeared. I miss-hit many balls. It was rare
for my past months pratice. and I was able to quickly pick it up once I made
some adjustment, but seems it's not this time.
One thing I know, I made some progress a |

ET
发帖数: 10701 | 15 that's bad thought, man, I gotta tell you.
Confidence is built from good results, no matter pratice session or on-
course. not mention some difficult ball lies.
There is no perfect swing. Human body changes daily. How could one swing fit
the daily basic variation. also golf is a game of missing. Tiger claims
there is only one perfect shot in his life (before 2002), what do you think?
you need a right tool to help make the missing shot not that bad.

Scott is a pro, graduated from UNLV, praticing single day at Circle C.
Will is working for Circle C as a cart boy, just graduated from the local
college St. Edward college.
Both are really good.
There are something I've learnt when playing with them,
1) chances of birdies or better.
Definitely they have more chances to get birdies or better for those easy
holes, due to their accurate approach shots and committment.
I won't say their ball-strike capability is better th |

发帖数: 290 | 17 hehe it is my fault.
another question is these days i found i can control direction by turning my
wrist and right forearm, it is right? now most balls go straight or right
side , it wont go left side, that makes easier to control. after hit 3000+
balls in a month i got some feelings just want ot check with highhands. and
shame to say i have no personal instructer. so i learn from video and

发帖数: 10701 | 19 that's right..
golf swing is the connection of upper body rotation and the lower body.
power comes from the hip which applies all sports - tennis, badminton,
football (baseball)....
it's always not easy at the beginning. that's why we need pratice.

发帖数: 10701 | 21 hard to describe it.
i said, the best player I've seen is tiger woods. he is so concentrated in

the next one? a senior i met, Carl, he won venturay country champion in 1970

me? got bored after 60 balls. no matter short range, or whatever.

发帖数: 10701 | 23 Quite busy lately. Didnt get too many chances to pratice at the range at all
, except putting 20 -30 mins in the lunch breake each other day.
I did play some holes every single day (as possible). I don't think I improve a lot regarding score. It is always nice to get out after hours hard working still.
Starting from today, I m trying a new course strategy, actually, it is not complete new, I know it since I picked up the game, I didn't seriously try it until today. The basic idea is : layup the |

发帖数: 10701 | 24 man, I would say these tips from Tiger are the best I've ever read.
I have not seen this before until you posted it here. I found these on my
own, actually.
Back to 2 years ago, I praticed chipping at home, I tried the irons around,
and realized if I could make good contact for long irons (judge by the sound
, and how the ball rolls) by the chipping motion, there is no reason that I
couldn't hit long irons good when doing the full swing.
since then, I focus on the contact more than anything els |
|
ET
发帖数: 10701 | 25 i would say , just pratice at home, like on the carpet, do some small & tiny
movement to feel what's the difference. try 10 or 20 balls, you will find
sometimes, the contact is so crisp, effortless, then remember that, repeat
and see if you can hit more like that.
or other similar scenaior is, bounce a tennis ball on the tennis racquet. u
can feel what the sweet spot delives on the ball.

发帖数: 10701 | 27 lately I putt the ball pretty well. had 3-birdie several times for 9 holes.
Not only am I more serious about the each pratice session by focusing on the
"score capability", but also I improve my putting technique, and mental
side. Another example is today's charity golf tourament.
The format is scramble. best-ball from 4 players. Our team score is -9. the
last hole bogey pissed off totally. but anyway, it happened.
so I made 5 clutch putts for birdie. The cluth means 3 players of my team

say u pratice 7 iron a lot, u are pretty much comfortable with that.
play all shots (if possible) using ur 7 iron.
a 300 yards par 4, ur 7 goes 150 yars, 7+7, u can reach green.
a 340 yards, 7+7, u have about 40 yards left, then try your pitching/
chipping, get the ball on green by the 3rd shot, 2 putts for bogey.
480 par 5, it's 3-shot of 7 again, u can still reach green by 3 shots, and 2

发帖数: 3067 | 29 i missed so much the free par3.
it gave me very good opportunity to practice within 100 yards. it is better
than driving range, 1. cheaper, 2. you can walk to the green and check how
much you miss, just cant do that on driving range,
where do you practice the "within 100 yeards"? |

2) 50-70 yards shot ( my 58 degree wedge goes 90 yards )
3) 30-50 yards shot
4) bunker shot
they are several things I have not seriously praticed before. I give me one
month to have them ready. then i am ready for breaking even, I think. |

发帖数: 10701 | 35 lost the confidence by a 5-foot putt?
just think some tour players are also missing the 1-foot one.
like last weekend's PGA tournament, Crowne Plaza. #17, Rampling hit a nice
bunker shot, put the ball like 1-foot away from the pin. He was 1-shot
leading with Phil Mikerson. He just missed it.
5-3 foot is the distance people called "embrassing distance." it is not as
simple as i looked like, say, in the putting green. still, you need to
pratice this distance. also you have an ease thought to calm |

发帖数: 290 | 36 last saturday and sunday, hit it twice on the same course, now i am from
high 90s to low 90s, and ready to break 90. maybe need more time and pratice.
my iron is more accurate and predictable, but totally i lost woods, now i am
thinking the swing for woods and iron are different. But what is the
difference? any thoughts? |

发帖数: 10701 | 37 not too much difference..
focus on your head position, make sure your head is 'BEHIND" the ball in the
whole process of striking the ball.
it's the same thing for driver and long iron (like 3 & 4) .

发帖数: 10701 | 38 yah. it's a titleist "dark blue" bag..
i don't like the color. I mis-picked the one at tgw.com.
i don't clean my clubs that often as before since I don't pratice driving
range that much. i carry the bag a lot so I try to keep it as light as
possible.
i like Ping's collegiate bag with school's logo. Unfortunately, my school is
associated with Nike I think. so..I didn't buy it.
Ping's shoulder belts are unique. a lot easier for carrying. |

发帖数: 10701 | 41 don't think so..
that senior Steve told me he has been playing for 60 years. he is learning..
my game in the first 4 months of 2008 was so good regarding the iron/
pitching/chipping/putting. I thought I would be there pretty soon. Now it's
like....
I still think the way I played in the past month is the right way to swing
the club & contact the ball. Unfortunately, I didn't pratice at the driving
range, didn't take video to keep them. So it's a bit hard to get it back now. |

发帖数: 10701 | 45 it's ok..
keep praticing your putting, you will know, for those long putts, it need
some luck, still the skill is dominated.
Tiger's putting drill - putting the picture - is the best drill I've been
using. I guess he used it pretty well.

ET
发帖数: 10701 | 47 近期练习场上的练习感觉非常好。
练习的内容也上一个层次了，相对我来说。
主要做的是，练习场上的6-7旗杆为目标，无论它们如何相对我的位置，我的每个球杆
送出去的球争取越接近旗杆越好。 从以前广泛意义上的“冲着旗杆这防线”到“落点
就在旗杆附近”我认为绝对是个进步
以前是只是对wedge - 8 iron，会把目标定得细致些，现在更扩展到3 woods。
我认为在training discpline上，进步了一大步。上周的skins game, #2, #6 #7 #8
都是这个displine下的结果的体现。
如果说我在进步，接下来的成绩应该是稳定的mid-70's /low 70's. |

发帖数: 10701 | 49 我觉得最好的办法还是 pratice seriously.
真真想，无论你从那种距离推，你要想得是推进去。
你一次没推进去，你真需要动脑去分析为啥没退进去，去真真感觉你对break/pace的感
觉。
这玩意都不是机械的posture/grip /grip pressure等能练出来的。
读果岭需要经验，当然，常打的场地总是容易些。在练习果岭上，练的时间长了，读
break很容易变成instinct，所以需要变换练习。
我知道的最好的练推球的办法，是从2步这些超近的距离练起，特别是要关注洞口就很
多break的地方。
练习中，注意观察如何通过open/close club face来达到和break compensation的重要
性。
意思是说，球杆面和球未必一定要垂直。
当然了，高级技巧。呵呵。
tiger提到他的stroke path是insider-square-insider, 一个圆弧轨迹，其实挺make
sense.我现在用得很多。
从45码之外的pitch, clean your mind其实很重要。

发帖数: 10701 | 50 这可能就是golf swing比较关键的事。
就如大家都说的，pratice swing 都没问题，natural, smooth, 但站在球前就完蛋了。
所以我一直建议调整自己的心态，认识这个swing 动作是学习这项运动的关键东西。
那个真是要自己体会，自己让自己去postive thinking, 还要play it seriously, but
don't think it heavely. |
