Chipping is never straightforward. But a few rules and it can become your "get of jail free card". Keep the weight on the front foot, do that by easing the heel off the ground of your rear foot. Choke down the club as well. Check your back swing, shaft parallel to the ground, not behind you...

Classic Slice, out to in club head travel. Absolute killer, and will keep coming back to haunt you. Basically the club head on the downswing will be coming into the ball from an outside plane, bit like watching a fly-fisher, hence the term casting from the outside. Must turn those hips on the...

Not so much Linekar, but the fragmented coverage due to the Americans needing to put in an advert every 4 minutes. Notice how many times they have to withdraw from showing play, only to give us the scoreboard yet again, and then have inane chatter. Somehing Linekar is good at because they can...

This link is possibly the one referred to earlier, "As seen on TV". http://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/forums//showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/1523/an/0/page/1#1523 I asked the question because I was nearly swayed by the spiel. I was so bad off the tee I flogged my Callaway Big Bertha Driver for £30...

I have the 21 degree "Perfect Club" which is really a rescue, can't make my mind up. I put my Callaway 7 wood in the garage to make way for this one. Except for ratting an odd ball out of some semi-rough, I cannot see the advantages. Have feeling the good old Callaway will be back for the...

Next time you see an advert for Slazenger Bald Eagle balls, (can't remember if it is Sam Torrence, or Tony Jacklin again); take a look at the driver he sets up with, Taylor Made, so much for the Slazenger then. This forum has been good as I opened this subject after being nearly seduced myself...

We keep seeing the ads, do these clubs actually work. Example: Slazenger K1 speed driver. Advertised by Tony Jacklin, if it is that good can we assume he uses it himself? What about the North Western Golf Plus 10 driver? The "Perfect Club" Another one, early version of a rescue wood, supposed...
