discount oakley bolf shoes golfshoes 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?

ASK THE PRO 2. IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME - Match your finish to your swing shape 3. THE GOLF DOCTOR - Load Determines Shaft Flex ASK THE PRO Q: I'm an 8 handicap but have never spent much time practicing my short game. When I do, I pick a good spot (say 20 yards from the cup), give myself a good lie and generally hit the ball fairly close. But when I get on the course, I get all sorts of lies and I'm unsure of how the ball will react. I know I should practice from various lies, but I know myself, and this is not going to happen. Is there any rule of thumb and/or tip you can give me that may help? -- Bob in Ohio A: Bob, we should rename this section "Ask the Surly Pro" because I'm going to give you some tough-love advice. Your short-game practice invokes the "rule of dumb," sim- ilar to the definition of insanity, which is to find some- thing that doesn't work and keep doing it! If you know your practice routine is wrong, why not change it? In any case, here's a tip for bad lies, but please make sure you practice it before you try it. Loft and distance are re- lated, even in the short game. The more loft, the less distance and vice versa. I'm assuming that by "good lie" you mean you prop the ball up on the grass where it's easy to hit it with the club's sweet spot, i.e., in the middle of the club face, seven or eight grooves up from the bottom. This is the spot that will give you the full loft and chipping run designed into the golf club. On the course, you'll encounter lies where the ball is sitting "down," so you must make contact lower on the club face, decreasing the loft and causing the ball to run more than you intended. The rule of thumb for these cases: For every two grooves down from the sweet spot that you hit the ball, the club loses one club's worth of loft. For example, say you are in a spot where you would normally play a pitch and roll with a 7-iron from a perfect lie, but the ball is sitting down. If you will have to hit four grooves down from the sweet spot, switch to a 9-iron to give you the 7- iron loft and run you desire. ------------------------------------------------------------ My Sister Laughed When I Told Her I Bought This...

The usual result is an overmanipula- tion of the club and a "hang back," where too much weight is left on the back foot through impact. Your finish posi- tion should match your overall swing shape, and your swing shape should match your overall physical characteristics -- particularly your flexibility. "Finish high if you want to see it fly" is good advice only if you are flexible, strong, thin-chested and long-limbed. Then, and only then, can you swing the club high over your head on the backswing and match that with a high, balanced finish. 1. Finish is erect, in a straight-up position. The golfer's shoulders are level to the ground, and so is his upper left arm. 2. The club shaft almost bisects the golfer's head along the ear line. 3. The triangle formed by his forearms and an imaginary line connecting his elbows matches the same triangle that he formed at the top of his backswing. There's no manipulation in this swing. From the "caddy view," here are three three characteristics: 1. The right shoulder is closer to the target than his left shoulder, with his chest facing left of the target. 2. Almost all of the player's weight is on his left side, and he's using his right foot only as a rudder for balance. 3. The golfer's head is over his left foot. ------------------------------------------------------------ Say HELLO to DASH MATES and Say GOODBYE to Things Flying Across Your Dash Board...

VISIT: http://rd.gophercentral.com/al/a?aid=548&ent=1418 Dash Mates ------------------------------------------------------------ THE GOLF DOCTOR LOAD DETERMINES SHAFT FLEX Most golfers don't realize it, but when you swing a club, the shaft actually bends in four directions -- not all at once, of course. The toe of your club can bend up toward you and down away from you, a motion called "toe up/toe down" bending. The toe can also bend away from and toward the target, a motion called "lag/lead" bending. When you take a full swing, the shaft bends as described above at various points during your swing. How much and in which direction depends on the force (called "load") you exert on the shaft. Load can be exerted at any swing speed; that is why you can't pick a club's flex based solely on swing speed. Just because you have a high swing speed doesn't mean you need a stiff shaft or vice versa. Tour player Fred Couples, for example, nicknamed BoomBoom because of his long drives, used a 3-wood with a ladies' flex for many years. To make sure you are well-fit, visit a certified club fitter to help you select the shaft that best suits the load you exert no matter your club speed. A shaft that is stiff enough to be controllable but as flexible as possible is the combination that will maximize your distance and accuracy. ------------------------------------------------------------ Questions?
