    Please Help, 'Ultimate Chipping technique'

    hi and thanks i've been looking at several chipping vids on YT in the last 72 hours and they all seem to be very similar, in that they are much more 'centred' with only a touch more weight on front foot if any, hands to just a touch in front, the concentration seems to be on a very shallow line...

    what would you remake?

    Forbidden planet classic sci fi from the 50's, with todays special effects it could be dazzling, as long as they made it more 'serious' compared to the childish 'comedy' bits in it, epic battle between the 'monster of the id' and the space travellers all blasters blazing. very innovative...

    Please Help, 'Ultimate Chipping technique'

    Driver recommendations

    have a look at the Jim venetos swing on you tube, an alternate swing method, im trying it and have started hitting some lovely soft draws, you may find it interesting but you will have to de-program yourself from orthodox golf teaching, you may find you dont need a new driver

    Hi i wonder if you might advise on this, i'm not convinced that the new irons of today are particularly any better than many of the past, a buddy has the above clubs for sale, they are in quite good shape, i am on the lookout for some new irons, after researching on the net these x14's be it pro...

    another new driver question

    i was generally thinking of holding back till early next year, goodness knows what they can come up with after the SLDR, 'Steroid assisted?' but if i there was a cheap sldr going just wondered if it was the club for me, perhaps the new ping g30 though that seems to be getting very good...

    another new driver question

    many thanks for reply, i think im a bit to far gone for more lessons, to be honest im pretty happy with how i swing now, with the driver i stand a touch open and then drive 'down the line' giving me a nice fade, i've definitely got the hankering for something shiny though :) im just wondering...
