Golf tip: Shorten your follow-through on putts

When trying to hole short putts always putt with a positive stroke that accelerates through impact.

Sometimes, however, it doesn’t always go to plan with the short ones and, as I’ve seen many times in pro-ams and with my pupils, when a golfer tries too hard, he or she becomes tense and the putting stroke becomes undefined and wishy-washy.

Rather than accelerating positively towards the hole, the hands freeze, the putter decelerates through impact and the ball limply rolls off line. To hole more putts learn to make a more positive stroke.

I often read in instructional articles how golf pros advocate a stroke where the putter travels back and through the same distance – ideal in a perfect world. But this advice contains very little acceleration and the stroke can easily slip into a limp and weak effort where the putter head overtakes the hands. If you look at some of the great putters, who consistently hole out under pressure, there is a slight rapping tempo to the stroke, almost like a punch shot in golf.

This ensures that the hands are in control as the putter head accelerates into the ball. Study Tiger Woods (or Jack Nicklaus in his heyday) and one of the great pressure putters Ben Crenshaw. They all accelerate into the ball and have defined finish positions to their putting strokes.

If you are struggling on the greens and leave putts short, shorten the follow through to only two inches past the ball and putt with a ‘rapping tempo’ that encourages acceleration. Being able to curtail the follow through also means the hands are in control after impact and this helps keep the putter face squarer, longer.

Golf Tips of the Day-Proper address for putting

Golf Tips of the Day-Proper address for putting

Article by mygolfwholesale@gmail.com







I know everyone has different styles for different putters. I’m currently gaming a Scotty Cameron SS Newport 2 MS. It has the 45* toe hang compared to my balanced Yes!Tracy.

I know that on putting, you have to hit the ball slightly on the up swing to prevent skipping the ball. so normally what I do is:

1. Set up the ball, Titleist Pro V1x Ball at http://www.mygolfwholesale.com/blog/goods-842-Titleist+Pro+V1x+Ball.html , about 1 inch from the club face 2. deloft the club a little bit by putting my hands slightly infront of the club head.

Just checking what you guys think or if my method is correct or not on address.

1.These are contradicting statements. One is true, and the other is not. The skipping you refer too is caused by the the loft of the club, and hitting on the upswing. If you hit on the upswing, you are adding loft to the club.

I am not saying your method is wrong because there is no right or wrong way to putting, just your analogy of what you think is happening.

IMHO there are three key factors to all good putters, such as Odyssey White Ice Mini T Putter, Odyssey White Ice #1 Putter and Ping iWi Craz-E Putter at http://www.mygolfwholesale.com/blog/goods-920-Ping+iWi+Craz-E+Putter+.html .

*Their stance is such that their eyes are directly over the ball so they can see straight down the line and eliminate the optical illusion. *Hands are pressed forward to deloft the club face. *Swing is with shoulders causing a pendulum motion with firm wrist to eliminate hitting with the hands.

2. It is sooo right. Take your putter inside and align it flush against the wall and make strokes. This will feel totally bizarre and if it was a sledge hammer your wife would be really hot. You can’t help but feel a difference from your action on the putting green. This is the alignment you should use on the course. Practice this drill until it feels normal. Pay very close attention to the routing of your trailing hand and arm while you are putting along the wall. Be sure your ball position is center or forward. A tile floor is the best place to do this to establish ball position; but, in a pinch anything will do.

Tricks to Become a Better Player-3-5

TRICK 3: Don’t Change Your Stance

Instinctively, you might assume that the stance changes, depending on the golf clubs. Not true! When it comes to full shots (not pitches, chips or putts), maintaining a consistent stance is critical to becoming a better ball striker.

That’s not to say there are minor adjustments in spine angle, ball position and stance width, but generally, how you stand over an iron should not be far off from how you situate yourself with a driver. Notice the similarities in the photos above? This is what you want.

TRICK 4: Make A Good Grip

Better players always, and I mean always, have a fundamentally solid grip. To start, grip the golf club with your gloved hand and emphasize the handle’s placement in the fingers between the first knuckle and the palm. Then, apply the ungloved hand so it wraps comfortably around the handle. From there, the thumb and index fingers of both hands form two Vs, both of which should be pointed somewhere around the right side of your chest or right shoulder. Follow this advice and you’ll have a solid grip.

TRICK 5: Play With The Wind, Not Against It

Many amateurs fret about playing in the wind, but better players know how to use wind to their advantage. For instance, better players know that no matter what type of shot you’d normally play, whether it’s a draw, fade or whatever, how the wind blows changes everything. You have to make adjustments to make the wind work for you, instead of trying to hit a shot to fight against it. I’ve seen that happen time and time again with amateurs.

Put it this way, no matter how big a fade or draw you’re capable of hitting, it’s likely the wind will always win. So what do you do? Play with it! I’ve got a stiff wind blowing from right to left. Instead of battling it, I’ve opted to hit a drawing tee shot with hopes that the wind works alongside me to move the ball from right to left. Also, since I’m playing with the wind and not against it, it’s likely my draw will be more pronounced, so I need to make sure I aim farther right to allow for it. And by the way, if, by chance, my natural ball flight was a fade, instead of hitting a draw, I’d play for a straight shot and aim a little less right of the target. Either way, I’m letting the wind move the ball back into the fairway.

Still not convinced? Well, had I played a fade, I’d have run a greater risk of pulling the tee shot with the ball not fading enough or at all. And with that right-to-left wind, things would only get worse. I’d be hitting my second shot from the bear grass! If the wind were blowing the other way, a better player knows to never fight a slice wind. The play is to aim left and let the ball drift to the right back into the fairway.

Lastly, when playing in the wind, no matter which way it’s blowing, don’t think you need to swing any harder than normal. Just accept the fact that wind is blowing, and although it may be in an undesirable direction, the key is to avoid going to war with it. This will foul up your rhythm and tempo, not to mention your scorecard.

How to Put Music on the PSP

How to Put Music on the PSP

Article by Andrew Summits







Do you have a nice new PSP, but you can’t figure out how to put music on it? I will show you how easy it is to put your music onto your PSP, so you’ll be rocking out in style in no time.First, you are going to need a CD ripper. There are plenty of CD rippers on the internet, you should have no trouble finding one on Google. Download and install it. This program will “rip” files from a CD onto your computer, so if you already have music files on your computer you could skip this and the next step.

Now that you have the CD ripper, you will need to “rip” the CDs. Put your CD into your CD drive, and follow the specific instructions for whatever program you are using to rip the CD into a easy to find location on your computer.

Next, you will actually transfer the music. With a USB cable, you will connect your PSP to your computer. Now, click on the start menu, and find “My Computer” and click on it. Find the icon for your PSP, double click on it, and create a new folder called “Music”. In another window, have open the folder where you transferred all of your music to. Now, you will highlight all of this music, and drag it into your other window where you have open the “Music” folder on your PSP.

You’re all done! If you’re looking for content for your PSP, such as music, videos, games, and more, I recommend PSP Blender. I have used it to fill my PSP with all kinds of content I enjoy everyday. With it, you can also download a program that will rip your CDs, put them in a nice format for your PSP, and transfer them, essentially everything that I covered in this article. Its a great program and I would recommend it to anybody.

Most Famous Putters Part One

They say you drive for show and putt for dough, so that would make the putter many player’s “money club,” right? This week, we’re going to look at famous money clubs.

Putters, as we all know, come in many shapes and sizes. Putters (cheap golf clubs)can be shaped like Futura Phantoms or the Ping Docs and look perfectly normal sitting next to a Ping Answer or a Bullseye. Putters may be the most personal instrument in a player’s bag, with everything from the lie angle, face angle, grip, shaft length, and weight coming into play and combining to give that magical sensation – feel – to the player.

When the tournament is on the line, what famous putters (Ping Golf Clubs)stroked some famous putts? Find out in this week’s edition of Trap Five.

Number Five: PING

Karsten Solheim was a General Electric engineer and a golf nut. His engineering background and his passion for golf combined in his Phoenix garage where he began working on his putting game not by practicing his stroke, but by creating a new putter. Though he made several playable prototypes, only one made it out of his garage in the end: the original PING putter, so named because of the sound the putter made when it struck a golf ball.

Solheim’s Anser putter – a revision of the original PING – was used by Julius Boros to win the Phoenix Open in 1967, and sparked a trend that’s continued to this day: heel-toe weighting in putters (and perimeter weighting in all other clubs). Solheim’s PING putters spread the weight towards the heel and toe to minimize distance loss on off-center hits, effectively enlarging the sweet spot. Almost every putter today uses heel-toe weighting.

Number Four: Wilson 8802

Arnold Palmer made it famous, but one of the best putters of all time – Ben Crenshaw – elevated the Wilson 8802 to a special place in golf’s history. Nicknamed “Little Ben,” Crenshaw’s 8802 was with him through thick and thin, but a replica was used to win the improbable one in 1995 (see comments below). Said Crenshaw’s dad of Ben’s original 8802, “It was just a putter in Harvey Penick’s shop. Ben felt it and waggled it around for a while. ‘Dad, I’d like to have it,’ he said, so I bought it for him. That club’s been the best provider in the family.” The putter cost Crenshaw’s dad .

The 8802 is a simple putter with no heel-toe weighting to speak of and a very clean, simple look. Its design may have been inspired by Calamity Jane (see below), and it won nearly as many majors. Arnold Palmer used the 8802 (and a small revision, the 8813) to win several of his majors, and Phil Mickelson has always seemed to putt best with his remake (currently made by his sponsor Callaway – i.e. Odyssey) of the venerable 8802.
