Any Golfers on NT?

[newbs24]

Got to the range yesterday. Irons felt good. So did the 3 wood but for the life of me I still cannot hit the driver. My hands will not come thru on it and when I do I duck hook it. That and my weight getting too much on my back leg (straightening it) are the two fixes I need. The back leg getting too much weight on it is making my backswing way too long.

Any tips on trying to keep the weight more 30/70 instead of 5/95 like I am doing?

The only one I ever got was the swingnature. The overload/underload training makes sense and you can always use the two sticks as alignment aids. I'd be interested to hear what other people have used. Of course I'd rather spend the money on a lesson, but considering how much some of us spend on clubs then why not a little toy that might actually help your swing?

I always have 2 alignment sticks with me at the range. For putting I use tees and some string for a few drills . The only other training aid I want to get it an impact bag.

^ Post some pics.

 

[youngmoney]

these pics are from last year...but theyre my same clubs...only thing different is lengthen 3/4" and grips

i havent gotten new clubs..........yet

im thinking 910d3 for my next driver

 

[gatorb807]

How much did it cost to have your clubs lenghtened

 

[youngmoney]

$100 but i know a dude. and that included grips

Tiger shot a 66 today. Good to ten finish. Would love to see him contend late at the Masters.

Agreed.

Think about this though; in 2010 he finished fourth at the Masters and the US Open.

This is without Sean Foley and any teachers. He just needs to play more. You can't play once a month and putt like he once did.

 

[youngmoney]

Sean foley isn't gonna do #@$% for tiger. I've actually shadowed him in one of his lessons and he was talking out his %*!.

This is squarely on tigers shoulders...let's see if he can bounce back at the masters.

 

[jwill jr]

Yea Tiger USED to be able to have a limited scheduled and still dominate, yet with his swing changes he needs to play alot. swallow his pride, play events he normally dont, put all other stuff on hold, or limited . Lets see how he plays today and tomorrow in the TC.

btw Yesterday got a new grip for my money club inside 115, my 52* if I like it, I am going to regrip all my other clubs with them.
I will post pics later. 4 days til my first tourny of the year. realisticly ill probable shoot low 80s but I would love to see mid-hi 70s having only played 2 times in 2011.

I'll upload the pic when I get home

[jwill jr]

lol...tell sean to refer Tiger back to Butch.

 

[youngmoney]

idk why its so small...i think cause i zoomed in but whatever.

not the best pic

jwill- is that custom paint in ur vokey? i tried to do that but failed miserably...what paint did you use?

Curious as to why you think Sean Foley won't help Tiger.

All the other guys he's working with seem to have good results.

 

[jwill jr]

I used model car paint it looks good in person . That's the candy green I was talking abt. I also did blue accents on my putter.. just got done with a mini shopping spree at gg

 

[youngmoney]

i think hes to mechanical and he's a yes man.

I am not sold on Foley's swing / teaching techniques.  I think Tiger would be better off going on his own, and watching film of his earlier swing success.  Even though he is not as young as he used to be, he can still swing like he did during the 2000-2001 era.  That is when he dominated.  he OWNED that swing, and now he looks lost. I will say this though, he has looked much improved over the last 5 days.  Minus the 2 TERRIBLE drives that didnt even get 200 yards  last week.  But he has put some good shots together, plus that 66 was impressive yesterday.  

This is who Tiger should go back to..

 

[p mac one]

So all the guys he's helped don't serve as evidence?

And i don't see how you think he's mechanical? Everything I've seen and read of him is more about grasping concepts like staying grounded and things like that.

sean ohair, justin rose, stephen ames

all mechanical players

hell heres even a quote from justin rose

Sean does not look at me as a golfer. He looks at me as anathlete and from a biomechanical point of view.  He wants what works for mefrom a scientific point of view. This is not necessarily the positionthat everyone strives for, but that is what I like about Sean.[sup]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean_Foley_(golf_instructor)#cite_note-9[/sup]


dont get me wrong...ill take lessons from Foley all day

but IMO he is not right for tiger.

and like i said earlier ive shadowed one of Foleys lessons...dude was all about the computers...ball speed is this...club head speed is this...spin rate needs to get lower blah blah blah it was actually pretty comical
