bow tie gol foakley shoes look golf shoes TODAY'S GOLF - Thursday, November 4, 2004"Tips... News... And More... All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ Take a moment to answer GopherCentral's Question of the Week: IN THIS ISSUE: 1. Ask The Pro 2. It's Good For Your Game - Stay connected for consistency 3. The Golf Doctor - Lighten Up ASK THE PRO Q: My pitch shots are terrible, with an array of missed hits that are too numerous to mention. So I have a general ques- tion about pitching. Are there any common threads between good pitchers of the ball and bad ones? Maybe this knowledge will give me some useful "food for thought" and a starting point from which to improve on my pitches. -- B.J., via the Web A: Most poor pitchers of the ball use a lot of lower-body motion on the backswing and very little on the forward swing, leaving the hands and arms to overmanipulate the club. To be a good pitcher you should do the opposite ‹ use minimal leg action during the backswing while your upper body creates the length and wrist cock necessary for the shot. On the downswing, use a good deal of leg action, with the back knee moving toward the target. In a correctly executed pitch shot the hands and arms feel "dead." On your downswing and your follow-through you should keep your forward hip (left for a right-handed player) rotating with no change of pace or speed. You don't need to add any force with the arms; this ensures that you'll hit down and through the ball with no unwanted burst of power. I call this "hitting the ball with your turn," and it's what separates good pitchers from bad ones. ------------------------------------------------------------ ** Magazine Subscriptions for Less ** Get Up to 80% off the regular News Stand Prices We have struck a deal with a major Publisher of some of today's most popular Magazine titles and now are offering subscriptions for up to 80% off the News Stand prices.

The swing radius at address extends from the tip of your front shoulder to the bottom line on your club head, and the goal is to return to the ball with the same radius that you started with. A swing with an inconsistent radius often looks "armsy" because the arms change length. They either become longer on the backswing, then have to shorten on the downswing to have any chance of making solid contact with the ball, or the reverse ‹ the arms shorten then must elongate. The key to keeping a constant radius is maintain- ing arm-to-chest connection with your target arm. ------------------------------------------------------------ Inspired by Spirituality -- THE RHINESTONE CROSS PENDANT Normal Price: $19.99 LIQUIDATION PRICE: 99 Cents The gorgeous Rhinestone Cross Pendant is a perfect symbol of enduring faith.

Most golfers grip the club much too tightly with the last three fingers of their top hand, reducing the mobility of the wrists. Excess pressure cuts down on the sensory input to the brain, so you can't feel the correct wrist cock on the backswing necessary for a powerful swing, or make the natural adjustments to maintain the proper wrist angles on the downswing. Under these conditions, even properly trained hands are rendered almost useless. On a scale of one to 10, where one is much too light and 10 is a death grip, your hold on the club should be a five, with the major pressure exerted by the big joint of your lower thumb on the big joint of your top thumb. Picture a quarterback taking a snap for an image to guide the correct positioning of your thumbs. Your overall hold pressure should be light enough to allow your wrists to cock 90 degrees at the top of the backswing, but firm enough so you don't have to rearrange your hands on the downswing. I like the term "hold" rather than "grip" to promote a more moderate approach to hand pressure. A grip should not be too light or too strong. ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?

More specifically, on the left arm and wrist. The idea is to make your left arm and wrist very firm through impact to prevent either of them from breaking down. A broken down left side could lead to a fat or thin chip shot. This may be true, but in my own experiences, as well as what I have observed from other golfers, focusing on the left arm and wrist has led me to believe that there must be a better way. Too often, when people think of keeping their left side firm, they end up creating too much force on impact. They try to straighten out their left arm just before impact and by doing this, they produce unwanted clubhead speed. Almost every solidly struck bump-and-run chip shot I see from amateurs goes past the hole. Have you ever noticed this? It usually ends up short of the hole if it's hit heavily. What's worse is that I see a lot of these shots hit thin and going well past the hole. This is because the left arm actually lifts up too far in an effort to keep it straight and firm, and the club's leading edge hits the middle of the ball. Therefore, I think you would be better served to think of your right wrist while chipping. Try to keep the angle you form with your right wrist very constant through the impact area. This will simultaneously keep the left side firm, but you won't be as inclined to jerk your left side and produce too much force because you won't be focusing on your left side. This motion should feel like a pendulum. To hit the chip shot a bit shorter or further, simply alter the length of the swing. Your arms don't have to feel straight and rigid either; it should just feel as though everything is moving in unison. You will discover that by focusing on your right wrist, distance control with your chip shots will improve immensely. ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions? Comments?
