Phoenix, AZ Golf Lessons Update: Monday, March 28, 2011

I recently bought a new used set of TaylorMade R7 TP irons with Project X 5.5 shafts, and I am very pleased with the performance of the shaft/head combo.

Project X is a stepless steel shaft and by far is the best steel iron shaft I have played to date.

Here are the benefits that I’ve experienced with Project X 5.5. [And by the way, the 5.5 means "stiff" flex].

* Light weight
* Easy to swing
* Penetrating ball flight
* More distance
* Sting/shock resistance on [off] center hits
* My greens in regulation has improved
* Lower scores

If you would like to demo these shafts, then visit your local Phoenix area golf shop, or feel free to contact me to demo mine. I welcome you to come to Fiddlesticks, or Rio Salado Golf Course.

Better Golf,

Face Balanced Putter: A putter face that is pointing to the sky and runs parallel to the ground when the shaft is balanced on your finger as shown below.

A face balanced putter has no positive affect when in the playing position and while it is in motion. Just because you see in the photo above that the putter is indeed “balanced,” the putter is not stable when you swing it. What? Do this: grab your face balanced putter and swing it. Next: swing your putter normal [back to forward], then swing the putter in different playing positions until you FEEL it is the lightest and the FEELING of being very smooth. As shown below, the putter is the most stable and smooth when I swing it with the heel leading. Why? Because, that is where the face should be – the true feeling of MOI [moment of intertia], the ability of the putter to stay stable when motion is applied. However, you can’t putt with the heel leading.

So, do you want to putt better? Do you want a putter that is stable? Do want to two-putt and have less three-putts? Do you want to see your ball roll true – you know end-over-end? If yes, then I recommend you give YAR GOLF a test. Visit www.yargolf.com. You will find that a Yar putter performs like no other, and that it is truly stable because of its near perfect moi [moment of inertia]. Yar is based on true science, not hype, and not science fiction.

Phoenix, Arizona Golf Lessons Update for Monday, November 8, 2010

Solid contact with all your golf clubs is what you want, right? Are you tired with all the “golf tips” and how you too can add 10, 20, and 30 yards to your tee shots? Really?! Look, if you have played other sports, then you accepted the fact that other athletes can run faster, throw harder, and jump higher. But in golf if you drive it [once] 250, then you expect to drive 250 every time, and then why not add 10 more yards, right? Perhaps distance may help you score, but you know that a long tee shot can make you feel real good about yourself. My experience as a golf teacher/coach is that most golfers want to make solid contact and to be consistent. The most popular word I hear is “consistent,” not distance.

If you are tired of the frustration and confusion, then I may be of help. I can’t help you if you don’t ask. Feel free to contact me to see if I am the right golf coach for you.

With all the resources available to consume golf help – you know, the Internet, books, videos (YouTube), Golf Channel, and golf lessons why is it that golfers quit? Golfers quit beacuse they just don’t get better. The golfer who improves to make better ball contact will continue with golf. And, if you think people give up on golf becuase golf is too expensive, well no that’s not it. The addicted golfer will find a way to pay for golf.

What about golf lessons, golf instruction, golf schools, golf swing coaches, golf training aides, and golf fitness trainers? Do you really need a golf lesson? Do you need to hire a swing coach? Do want to pay for someting that may not work? But what if paying for help does work?

Consider below if you are thinking about paying for golf swing/game help:

Golfer: I tried lessons before and it did not help.
My reply: Did you practice? Did you ask questions? Did you agree 100% of what the instructor was telling you what to do? Did you improve on the first lesson?

Golfer: I bought new clubs rather than spending money for golf instruction.
My reply: Do you know how to swing your new clubs? Are your new golf clubs fitted?

Golfer: I just don’t trust golf instructors.
My reply: Did you have a bad experience in the past? Why don’t you trust golf instructor(s)? Did he/she mess you up? Are you thinking that he/she may change your swing his or her way? Do you think you will get worse before you get better?

If you are on the borderline of quiting golf I extend this offer: Contact me to discuss. The cost to save a fellow golfer is worth my time, and your time with no financial cost to you. So now you are on the tee box…your move…

Major golf equipment manufacturers vary on how the build clubs for tour players. But for the most part the build is all the same. Of course some tour pro’s club specs will vary from length, lie angle, grip size and placement. If you really want to see what your full golf potential is, then highly recommend you get custom fitted for all golf clubs in your bag.

Despite the USGA’s decision to make a rule change concerning grooves; the golf scores on the PGA Tour have not gone up. In fact, there have been a number of record scores worldwide. I just do not get it. The USGA made a change in grooves? Every pro can play with golf clubs and ball of their choice. Look, Bobby Jones played with a wooden shaft, right? So, was it “unfair” that Jack Nicklaus played with a steel shaft and broke his records. Is it “unfair” that Tiger Woods may break Jack’s record of 18 major golf championships, beacuse he plays with a graphite shaft? Think about about it: Today’s equipment is superior, the golf courses are now maintained with superior equipment. Let’s face it, Jack Nicklaus admited he does not want Tiger to beat his 18 majors. Could Jack have been instrumental in the USGA’s new grove rule for 2010?
