    I use GolfFix, gives you bit size chunks of info, recommends videos and as you progress it tells you what faults keep recurring. I'm impressed by it.

    Golffix app - Fix your swing for free

    Just discovered this free app and tried it on my Android phone, also available for iPhone I believe. There are no reviews for it so I think it is in trial stage at the moment. Basically you video yourself swinging and after analysing it you given a score out of 10 and tells you what you are...

    The Forward Press

    Harvey Penick describes it as a means to make the swing smoother, if I remember it correctly he likened it to swinging a bucket of water, if you just swing it forward a bit it's easier to swing back.

    Callaway heavy Iswing training aid

    Harvey Penick advised all golfers should have a heavy club to exercise the proper golf muscles and to practice his slow swing. That's why I got one but not sure it has worked.

    Pga coaches in Lincoln area recommendations?

    I have and like him but can't claim the same results yet! On a bit of a plateau at the moment.

    Pga coaches in Lincoln area recommendations?

    I have used Paul Logan at Lincoln Golf Centre, has a camera set up in a bay there and helped me get down to a 17 handicap from 28. After that I couldn't seem to make any more improvement with him so on the lookout for another coach.

    New Bargains Thread

    Yes I did it for my G20 irons several years ago. I came out regular for everything. When I went to Gainsborough for a proper fitting this year they changed my lie from black to green and because I was between regular and midsize grip they suggested 2 layers of tape as a compromise. I think in...

    Schniederjans One-Handed Putting?

    I played with a bloke a few months ago who chipped one handed and he was off single figures. I tried it next time I was on the practice ground and though I'm not a convert the advantage seemed to be you had to swing smoothly and you had to commit if the ball was going to go anywhere.

    One tip that changed your game?

    For me this winter it was the feel of the takeaway, a tennis ball between the wrists and the shoulders doing all the turning initially (although the rest of you does start to move). With the driver feel the head swinging down to the ground before swinging up. Less heeled driver shots and...

    Ping G700 Fitting

    Enjoying them, third place in a Stableford last week (37 points) and my first cut for 2-3 years so they are staying in the bag. Going a bit further and giving me confidence every time I play with them. Only thing I'm not a fan of is the grips, which are plain Golf Pride, I liked the old Ping...

    Ping G700 Fitting

    My day as exactly the same, before the fitting I was already using Ping standard lie, shaft and grips. I worked out my specs from the ping website before buying my G20s several years ago. After the fitting I am now 2 degrees upright and between standard and midsize grip so 2 layers of tape! The...
