Is Your Golf Up To Scratch? – Part 2

Is Your Golf Up To Scratch? – Part 2

Let’s see how we can apply this technique throughout your game. OK, you’re standing on the first tee, choosing your line and there’s a persistent thought of “don’t hook it into the trees”. What usually happens when you’re thinking this? Yes…golf balls always do what they are told; you are thinking about hooking into the trees and you do exactly that. Yes, I know, I can hear you saying “BUT I thought DON’T hook into the trees”. Your inner mind does not pay any attention to the “don’ts” of this world.

Whatever you are thinking about you are giving energy to, and energy is transmitted out into the atmosphere and attracts exactly what you are thinking about into your life. This is the law of attraction. Put another way, as you are thinking “Don’t hook it into the trees” you are at the same time inadvertently creating a picture in your mind of the ball going into the trees and also attaching a lot of energy to that picture because you feel a bit agitated about it; and so the ball goes into the trees. In fact, the ball went exactly where you inadvertently planned for it to go. This is how talented your mind is. If you ever doubted the fact that 90% of golf is played in the mind, this phenomenon is undeniable proof!

What can you do to stop this happening? You can recognize that you are thinking about hooking into the trees, create a picture of it intentionally, then move that picture to one side, shrink it, drain the color out, crumple it up and put it in the bin; and then, create a big, bright, clear picture in your mind’s eye of the golf ball landing where you want it to, sitting up nicely on the fairway.

You can also use this technique of “binning the negatives” when you have played a less than perfect shot or missed a putt. Create a picture of it and bin it. Then re-run in your mind’s eye the perfect shot, or the perfect putt. This is a great post-shot routine to adopt, and extremely effective, because your mind will only be recording good golf shots, thereby making the likelihood of great shots more compelling, whilst at the same time literally erasing poor shots from your mind. Thus your golfing confidence builds more quickly and easily than ever, and as the title of Dr Bob Rotella’s book states “Golf is a game of confidence”.

Getting back to your New Golf Season’s resolutions and making them probable instead of possible, you should now have a clear, in-focus, bright and compelling picture of you achieving your golfing goals. This is vitally important because whatever you imagine you can create.

The next question to ask is what do you need to do to get to that point? What do you need to do physically and also mentally? From a mental perspective, the consistent application of the “binning the negatives” technique will transform your game, not to mention your life in general. You will be focusing on what you want to happen, rather than what you don’t. You will be aware of choosing where you want the golf ball to go and intentionally sending it there. You will now be in control of your thoughts and their resultant effect on the golf ball.

It’s also worth examining your thought processes whenever a shot doesn’t quite work out. Ask yourself were you thinking clearly and precisely? Did you picture what you wanted? Or was your focus drifting off at a tangent? Or did you simply stand up to the ball and hit it without planning? Or did you stand over the ball for ages with a myriad of thought competing for your attention?

I’ll wager a bet that 90% of your “bad” shots are caused by “bad” thoughts. Check this out for yourself. If your own statistics reflect this percentage, then it follows that you have the ability, you have the talent, to hit this percentage of your “bad” shots perfectly simply by being aware of your thoughts and choosing to think clearly. That’s got to be an easier way to get your handicap down than changing your swing, don’t you agree?

Your subconscious mind will always work towards a goal that has been visualized in your mind’s eye. Your energy is being directed towards it, whether that goal is long term (as in your New Golf Season’s Resolution) or short term (your next shot). You have the ability to use your mind to achieve your golfing goals easily and effortlessly. You also have to plan in a physical sense towards your goal; you’re not going to improve without playing, so you have to put the time in as well. You’ll not put time in unless you find that its fun, so make sure that it is fun.

Golf is a game, it’s meant to be enjoyed. You, and nobody else, are the creator of your destiny and the master of your golf game, so long as you choose to be. You will find that hypnosis downloads or golf hypnosis cds will help you immensely in mastering your golf mind and taking control of your destiny.

The Top Ten Golf Balls for Distance

The Top Ten Golf Balls for Distance

Low scores in golf can be achieved by getting the most out of each club in your arsenal. If you can get the most distance out of each shot you will be able to make fewer shots at the beginning, allowing you to have more chances at scoring on the green. One important factor for getting more distance is the golf ball that is used.

Most new players I have seen fall victim to choosing the wrong ball. Most of them believe they “need more spin”, thinking this will help them hold the green on their approach shots. The truth is the majority of these players should focus less on spin and more on distance.

Why is that you ask. Well, for one most amateurs rarely hit the green with their approach shots and are often running the ball up to the green which requires no spin at all. Excessive spin will actually hurt the player during these follow-ups.

Secondly, if the player has too much spin coming off the tee it will make an inadequate shot that much worse. For example, if you tend to slice the ball or fade it, a high spin ball will turn a fade into a slice and a draw into a hook. To compare, if you were using a ball with low spin and much greater distance potential, you will find that your shots are much straighter and longer.

Consider our list of the top ten golf balls for distance below, and find the ball that helps you achieve maximum distance and performance on the green.

1. Taylor Made Penta TP: The Penta does everything well. This ball has everything: great distance, perfect spin, a beautiful launch.

Off the tee, it will provide massive distance while it is perfectly suited for short shots with enough spin to score lights out. My preferred ball before coming across this was the Pro V1x, and after playing with both I have to say you can’t go wrong with either.

2. Titleist Pro V1x: This is my go-to ball, and I love it. This ball is a great all-around ball, and is second only to the Penta. The Pro V1X is a ball designed for the lower handicapper to professionals. Although all levels of players love to say “I use Pro V1X”.

The Pro V1x has both a soft feel to it and great spin and distance potential, making it the perfect ball no matter where on the course you happen to be. I prefer a ball with a lot of spin for some special shots I try around the green, so this ball has a great bite to it. The average to high handicappers usually get tripped up on this aspect because their approach shots do not “run out” like they expect and they come up well short.

Popular or not, I would not recommend this ball to the new or average player. This is the only reason I didn’t rank my ball #1. But, once you know just how this ball will react to your swing, you really can’t go wrong with it.

3. Titleist Pro V1: Titleist made another good ball when it came up with the V1. The only reason this ball landed in the #3 position is its distance is about 1.4 yards shorter than the V1x.
The V1 is better for a player with a high handicap than the V1x as it is more durable and has greater launch potential.

4. Callaway Tour i (z): Drag is reduced on the ball by its hex-shaped dimple design, which helps increase distance. The ball is soft yet durable while providing great distance off the tee and high spin with scoring clubs. If you are a fan of Callaway products you can’t go wrong with this ball, no matter your skill level.

5. Taylor Made Burner: I was very happy with this ball when I tried it out over the summer. This ball achieves amazing distance with its low drag characteristics and low-compression core.

It was comparable to the Pro V1x in nearly all areas that count.

6. Callaway HX Hot Bite: This ball sports the same hex dimple design as the Tour i (z), giving it great distance potential due to its low drag characteristics. It is a favorite amongst players of all levels but especially with those who swing their clubs at average speed.

7. Bridgestone e6: I have friends who swear by the e6 and they say they prefer it over the Titleist ProV’s. The ball is designed with an anti-spin layer, giving the ball great distance and perfectly level flight.

8. Srixon Z-STAR: I was not initially impressed with the hype surrounding this ball. After trying it out I’m willing to admit that it lives up to it. I played awful that day, so I am sure it skewed my review, but overall not bad.

The average player will benefit from the low compression core on the Z-STAR, which gives the ball greater speed and distance.

9. Callaway Big Bertha Diablo: This ball just keeps going! The ball has very little spin, giving it amazing distance off the tee. This ball cannot be matched if distance is all you are looking for.

10. Titleist DT SoLo: This golf balls compression statistics are extremely friendly to players with low swing speeds providing great distance for the low-to-average swing speed golfer.

Many factors determine what golf ball is good fit for an individual player. For example, golf balls compression statistics is an important factor. This is how much club head is required to activate the ball’s specific layer, typically the core for distance, in order to get the desired characteristics. The only way to determine which of these balls is best for you is to get out there and try them!

Take the time to play a round or two on a course you know in order to compare the shots. You won’t get an accurate idea of how good the ball is for you unless you do this.
Now, get these balls and get to it! You now have a great excuse to play a lot more golf.

Three Tips for Better Putting in Golf

Three Tips for Better Putting in Golf

In this article, we are going to explore three tips for improving your putting on the golf course.  You might be surprised to know what you can learn about golf from the game of pool, your feet, and Stephen Covey.

We all know the expression, “drive for show, putt for dough” and we all know it because it’s universally applicable.  You cannot score well in golf if you do not know how to putt.

Many of you have mastered the long drive, but are still inoperable when it comes to getting the ball in the whole.  How is it possible that we can hit a ball consistently 270 yards down the fairway with the new Taylor Made Drivers but have trouble with a 5 foot putt?  Well, this can be answered simply:  the game of golf.

Golf is a fickle beast, rewarding you and chastising you within a matter of moments.  How many times have you lost a hole to your playing partners because you had a three putt or missed a 4 foot birdie putt?  To become a par golfer, you must know how to putt well.

With these three tips, you can improve your putting which will improve your golf scores.

In tip #1, we are going to compare putting in golf to the game of pool.  You have all seen on TV how Camillo Villegas goes all the way down on the ground with his Spiderman technique to analyze putts.  Do you know why he does this?

Yes, because it works.  It allows you to view a putt like it was shot in a game of 8 ball.  If I placed the queue ball on a pool table four feet from the pocket, would you be able to hit the queue ball into the pocket?  Of course you would.

Why can you not do the same thing with a golf ball?  The holes, though different sizes, are proportionately sized.  Simply think of each 8 foot putt and under like hitting a cue ball into the corner pocket.

For tip #2, we will tell you to think with your feet and not with your head.  When you are trying to read a break on the golf green, your feet often see better than your eyes.  Walk the basic line of your put and let your feet feel the break.  You will notice that your feet often tell you much more than your eyes.

Tip #3 involves a step from the book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People” authored by Stephen Covey.  The habit that we are interested in is habit #2:  Begin With the End In Mind.  In this case, your end is to make the putt.  How often do you envision your putt going into the hole?  Ever?  You need to see your putt going in before you’ve struck the golf ball.

In summary, you need to think of short putts like you would an easy pool shot, think with your feet, and envision your ball going into the hole every time.  Follow these three pointers and you will become a better putter!

Improve Your Game-Your Golf Ball Tells You How

Hello…hello…hello; hey you, look down. I am your golf ball trying to get your attention. Would you like to know how I can improve your game?

I have been watching you play an average game of golf. Nonetheless, I know you want to improve your game and as your golf ball I will tell you how. From my point of view the correct type of ball does matter.

Look over there. Do you see those two young children learning how to play golf?

The girl has the pink balls and the boy is playing with the white colored balls. Those balls are designed specifically for children and they fly at about 70 miles per our. The balls of the children also have dimples. The purpose of the dimples allows the ball to fly faster in the air, smoother skinned balls move slower.

As you well know golf is a game of accuracy and consistency. One does not play just to make distance shots. I noticed the other day that you were at the driving range. A one piece ball is good to use as it is a softer ball and not designed for distance. The one piece ball is a standard. It has been around a long time, and it does great for practicing.

Another practice ball is the water ball. Remember all those golf balls that you hit into the lake along with many other golfers? Well, every now and then they are fished out of the lake, cleaned up and polished and sold cheap. These are great for novices up to intermediate level to practice or to play a game of golf. Because of water damage the balls will short change you on the distance shot.

Most golfers play with a two piece design. It has a rubber core center and one outer wrap of plastic or rubber. This design is excellent for men, women, and children. The ball will shoot straighter, and it has less spin so when you hit a slice or a hook it does not look too bad. The ball is designed for durability and distance.

As an advanced golfer you would probably prefer a ball that has been wrapped three times or a hybrid design. This ball has a rubber core, covered by a layer of plastic or rubber and then a third layer wrap. It is hard in consistency and will allow for better performance. It will travel longer distances, and has less spin in the hands of a golfer with good control.

The professionals play with design having been wrapped three or possibly four times to get the high swing speed and the drop and stop action.

In case you should ask, if the beginner, intermediate, or an advanced player chooses to play with a golf ball used by professional golfers you will get the distance, however, if you lack control the golf ball will slice and hook badly or extremely.

What is the speed of a golf ball in flight?

• Beginners 90 to 100 miles per hour• Intermediate 100 to 110 miles per hour• Advanced and professionals 110 plus miles per hour.

There are many golf balls which are imprinted or have logos as companies and teams prefer the advertising. You may want a special imprint for a birthday, an anniversary, or for identity.

Balls that have been factory overproduced or have a cosmetic imperfection are excellent. These will cost you less and they work just as well as full retail balls. If the store clerk can tell you the brand name, this will give you an opportunity to evaluate the differences among brand names. Brand name selection is a personal choice.

Here is a quick aid to choose golf balls. Twelve dollars per dozen is great for beginners and novices. Thirty dollars a dozen are preferred by intermediate level and the forty-five dollars or more for a dozen is for the advanced or professionals.

Sample different models and choose what works best for you.

As a golf ball, I am looking at your club face which is about to hit me square. I see you have the correct swing. This hit will be straight, will go a long distance, and I can see me dropping into the hole. This will be the perfect shot with the perfect golf swing and the right ball. Congratulations.

Refiner Golf Club Review – Now You Can Swing With Confidence!

Refiner Golf Club Review – Now You Can Swing With Confidence!

To improve your golf swing by feel and not by swing mechanics, use the Refiner Golf Club. Should your golf swing is inappropriate, the hinge will break directly, allowing you to realize there’s a flaw within your golf swing.

The entire golf swing will be rectified since the hinging method allows you to experience and determine where the club must be. To have a very good golf swing, getting your golf club to the top in a proper manner during your back swing is a must and if you are cupping your wrists, the training aid will inform you of this by breaking immediately. This early warning enables you to rectify the flaw first before completing your golf swing and it will be nearly impossible to finish your golf swing without rectifying the flaw first.

The Refiner Golf Club is an excellent instrument to work with if you are trying to find ways to achieve the right pace and timing as it will hinge once a swing fault have been discovered. This is especially useful as poor shots usually are the result of swinging too fast.

Other areas that may benefit you as claims from the manufacturer are detecting excessive grip pressure, open / closed club face and improper swing plane.

What I like regarding the Refiner Golf Club is it allows you to train in the home without making use of the golf ball. It’s also ideal to be use at the golf range since Refiner Golf Club can be used as a standard club when swung right.

The Refiner Iron and the Refiner Driver are two swing trainers available to improve your golf swing. 2 different kinds of trainer is necessary as you would wish to catch the ball during the down swing for your iron shot versus the driver where you’ll need to catch the ball during the up swing. These 2 training modes will lead you to perform exactly like that.

The Refiner Golf Club not just caters for the right handed golfers but also for the left handed golf players as well. Various club lengths are available to cater for women as well as for juniors, and should the regular length isn’t fit for you, there’s also an alternative for it to be made-to-order.

Each of the training tools are bundled together with full instructional videos and is presented by PGA trainer Rick Bradshaw, guiding you with the proper way to use the training aid.

How To Improve Your Golf Swing-Neutralise Your Golf Grip

How To Improve Your Golf Swing-Neutralise Your Golf Grip

One way to improve your golf swing is to neutralise your golf grip.Firstly you will only hook the golf ball if you swing the club face closed at impact.The majority of golfers that hook the ball display a ‘strong grip’,where the hands are too far to the right of the handle.Golfers will swing the club too much from the inside of the line,with the hands,arms and body struggling to hold the clubface open at impact.Weakening the grip will help stop the club face closing on impact.
Secondly,a common fault with a lot of golfers is the stance.The width of stance will vary slightly
according to the golf club you are using.As a general guideline,i recommend that the stance for the 5-iron should correspond to the width of your shoulders.Check your stance regularly when you practise.A wide stance will give you good stability but less mobility.A narrow stance will give you more mobility but less stability.
Thirdly,getting your posture right will make playing the game easier.The reason for this is that your posture controls the balance points in your swing,and good balance is key in helping you develop your game.
Start by placing your thumbs on your hip joints,this is to where you bend from the hip joint.
From there lean forward putting your weight on the front of your feet.Finally flex your knees,feeling the pressure on your thighs.Hope this helps,happy golfing.

How to Draw the Golf Ball

How to Draw the Golf Ball

Article by Christopher J. Johnson







The draw shot off the tee is a very desirable ball flight to have. It penetrates the wind much better than a fade and rolls out farther in the fairway after it comes down. It can be a tough shot to control though. The draw can turn into a hook very easily. Most courses favor people who slice the ball, since that is the most common swing fault of the average player. That means that most courses are more open to the right and much more penalizing when you hit it left.

The draw shot produces top spin on the ball. It is a right to left ball flight for right handed people and a left to right ball flight for left handed people.

The following instructions are for a right handed player.

Line up the face of the club with your target. Line up your feet, hips and shoulders to the right of your target. This closes the face of the club in relation to your body. Now just swing like you normally would. The closed clubface will cause the ball to move right to left. Since you set your body up to the right, the ball will start to the right and turn back towards the target.

There are other ways to create a draw. Basically you want your club to take an inside to outside path in relation to the ball. I believe this way to be the easiest since you can take your normal swing once you have adjusted your stance. Trying to adjust your swing can be much more difficult.

I would like to offer a word of advice. Be sure to try this technique out at the range a few times before using it on the course. If you over do it, a nasty hook could be the result, which will most likely put you in the water or the woods. We are trying to avoid penalty strokes, not create them right?

So there you go. With a little practice, you will be curving the ball around that dogleg in no time. Oh, one other thing. Golf is a game so remember to HAVE FUN!

The Longest Hitting Drivers in Golf

The Longest Hitting Drivers in Golf

What is the longest hitting driver in golf? All the major golf manufacturers claim they make the longest hitting driver. The Internet is filled with all sorts of ads about finding the driver with the most distance off the tee. Even your local paper golfing magazine has features about special products that guarantee you can drive like a champion. So, what’s the great secret?

The answer may already be in your bag or as close as your golf professional or online Internet
golfing store.  But, before dashing off to purchase that magical driver, lets look at what really makes drives go
long and straight.

A longer club shaft

Conventional wisdom suggests that a driver with a loner shaft will hit a golf ball farther
than a shorter shafted golf driver.

The pun is intended. The bad news is that not everyone can hit a long shaft driver and the results can often be disappointing. Tests have shown that if a golf ball is mis-hit by as little as ½ inch, driving distance can be reduced by as much as 20 yards. The more you miss the sweet spot, the shorter the drives. And we’re talking about distance, not accuracy. Unless you are a low handicap golfer, by itself, a longer shaft could, in fact, hurt your distance off the tee.

Lighter gold club

It certainly helps, but it depends where the weight is removed. The theory is that the lighter the club, the faster the swing. The faster you swing your driver, the farther the golf ball flies down the fairway. Since the shaft has the most weight, that is the best place to remove club weight in order to speed up the swing. Here is where shaft flexibility enters the picture. If the driver’s shaft is too stiff, a lighter shaft weight may cause your shot to be short and a bit to the right. If you want to lighten the shaft, make sure shaft flexibility is part of your calculations.

More loft
Conventional wisdom also weighs in on loft. Simply put, the slower your swing speed, the higher the required trajectory necessary to keep the ball in the air. Check this out by comparing the distance with a three wood, versus the driver. If they are about the same, a common occurrence, consider a driver with a little more loft with the CG (center of gravity) slightly back from the club face.

Clubhead Design
This is where modern technology and strong clubhead design can really help the average golfer and is the place where technology has really helped long hitting drivers. Most of the above techniques work great if the ball is struck directly on the sweet spot. Unfortunately, only PGA golfers do that almost every time. Perimeter weighted clubs like the Callaway Big Bertha and drivers from Ping (who pioneered the technology), King Cobra and TaylorMade have become extremely popular driving companions for golfers, worldwide.

The Grip
The grip is one of the most overlooked aspects when choosing a driver, but one of the most important. This is the connection for you to the club and if everything isn’t comfortable and natural, your swing, and the resulting distance off the tee, hasn’t a chance.

The size of the grip is totally dependent on the size of your hands. The bigger the hands, the thicker the grip. If the grip is uncomfortable or irritates your hands, change it quickly. This is where totally comfortable is really good.

Believe it or not, grip weight is also a distance factor. A light grip increases the relative weight of the club head. This is good for players with good strong swings. A heavier grip decreases the relative weight of the clubhead and makes it feel lighter. This helps the golfer with a slower swing.

There are many answers to the question of what is the longest hitting driver in golf. Almost as many as there are golfers. Modern technology can help you find the best driver for your game. It also wouldn’t hurt to work on your swing so you can take advantage of the advanced weight and flexibility features on the big name clubs. Match your driver to your skills and play within yourself. That old sports saw really fits finding the longest hitting golf driver.

Some Quick Recommendations To Help Resolve Golf Slice Problems

Some Quick Recommendations To Help Resolve Golf Slice Problems

Reducing handicap is nearly always the objective of folks who are interested in golf. The golf slice is one area that commonly will cause complications for such individuals. It’s a common problem and there are a wide range of things that can be the root cause of it. The guidance shared in this article can help you correct your slice and begin enhancing your scores today.

Taking the golf club too high in the backswing is an usual error made by people who slice the ball. Verify the position of your backswing at the top to correct this problem. Is the shaft of the club over your head or is it above your shoulder? The shaft should be only a little bit higher than your shoulder or you are taking the club too high. Should you utilize a proper golf swing, you will feel your leading arm cross your chest just a bit as you backswing. The end result will be a flatter and more rounded golf swing which can also provide additional power.

A great number of golfers assume that if they slice the ball, it is easily fixed by moving to the left for right handers and to the right for left handers. This is not the case unfortunately. You are in fact slicing the ball as a result of the direction and angle the clubface is looking upon contact.

You are going to slice the ball even worse if you shift your stance off target to make up for your slice. Rather than looking away from the target, take the time to just work at your swing and ensure you are striking the golf ball squarely while being in-line with the target. This will correct overcompensation and might help remedy your slice.

For you to take your swing to the next level and correct slicing issues, it is imperative to develop correct balance into your stance. You’ll probably lose balance and disrupt the orbit of your golf swing if there’s any sort of free motion while you swing the club. Maintaining feet shoulder width apart, adequate forward bending of the torso and a good degree of knee flex can really help promote appropriate balance in your stance.

Make sure your hands are not gripped too far to the left on the golf club. The face of the club might be square to the ball at the outset, but this grip may cause the club to rotate while you swing. Once you grip your golf club you will notice that “V’s” are created in between your thumbs and your forefingers. For the standard slicer these will point toward the leading shoulder when addressing the golf ball. However, the “V’s” will point toward the right shoulder when applying proper grip.

Solving a golf slice is oftentimes a tricky and difficult ordeal. Nevertheless, it’s possible to eliminate golf slicing moving forward by following the information on this page, understanding exactly where issues lie and taking steps to fix these problems.

Matthew Barret offers a totally free system for finally doing away with that irritating slice in golf at CorrectMyGolfSlice.com. If you’re all in favour of finding out much more about golf slice tips and hints than it’s worthwhile to definitely head on over.
