All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ 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?

All For The Love Of The Game" ------------------------------------------------------------ Take a moment to answer GopherCentral's Question of the Week: Who do you think should be the next Supreme Court Justice? http://rd.gophercentral.com/al/a?aid=7541&ent=2501 Question of the Week IN THIS ISSUE: 1. Ask The Pro 2. It's Good For Your Game - TONE DOWN THE TOE DANCE 3. BETTER BODY, BETTER GOLF - YOUR HAMSTRINGS Q: I have a problem with tending to hook the ball off the tee box after several holes. My friends tell me that my club face is shut. What can I do to practice a perfect path for the club? -- Art D., from the Web A: Click here for the answer hook ball club face shut IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME TONE DOWN THE TOE DANCE Lifting your front heel off the ground during the downswing, is not an action the general golfing public should copy. Elevating the heel shoves your weight suddenly to your toes, throws your whole body out of balance, and usually results in an off-center hit with the loss of both distance and accuracy. (You can read more about this in my book, "The LAWs of the Golf Swing," which shows you how to match your swing to your body type.) This toe dance is especially prevalent with juniors and women whose hamstring muscles, the muscles behind the thigh supporting the knee, are not as strong as their quadriceps muscles in the front of the thigh. Therefore, they rely more on the stronger quadriceps to stabilize the knees during the downswing. ------------------------------------------------------------ GEORGE CARLIN AT CARNEGIE HALL NOW ON DVD Easily His Best Stand-Up Performance To Date Taped before a sold-out house at New York City's Carnegie Hall, the performance represents a creative resurgence for Carlin, following a heart attack earlier that year.

The hamstrings are an important set of muscles when it comes to making your best swing. These are the large muscles in the back of the thigh that help connect the legs to the pelvis. Many golfers, especially men, have tight hamstrings that limit motion of the pelvis, making cor- rect hip rotation impossible. This restriction causes strain in other muscles of the lower back, contributing to the pain- ful "golfer's back" syndrome. One of the best exercises to keep your hamstrings in shape is as follows: Lie on your back in a doorway and extend your leg as straight as you can get it against the wall while the other leg is flat on the floor. Both knees should be straight and your butt against the wall. At first you may have to bend one or both of your knees to get into the position. But after a week or two your flexibility will improve enough that your knees can be fully extended, so be patient and don't force anything. Hold the position for a minute, then switch legs. Repeat at least three times for each leg. As always, consult your doctor or physiotherapist before doing these exercises to make sure they are right for you. -- T.J. Tomasi After a week or two of exercises, your flexibility will improve enough that your knees can be fully extended. |
