    The thin edge of the wedge?

    I played with some American guys at Copperhead in Florida. They had country music playing from their cart. Not my scene to be honest but they were great golfers, so I came away with a better appreciation of the golf swing and the music of Waylon Jennings.

    Double overlap grip (ala Jim Furyk)

    I have never heard of this until now. I googled it and it seems to help those who are trail side dominant and / or close the face too rapidly through impact. There is a thread on it on golfwrx. This got my attention as I suffer from these issues. I just tried a few swings without a ball and it...

    Virgin Media Price rise email

    O2 putting mobile tariffs up by February RPI + 3.9%. So a 17.3% increase in total. I can understand the increase by the rate of inflation, but the extra 3.9% is unjustifiable, especially in the current climate. If all businesses did this, inflation would rise still further. Coincidentally EE and...

    Cobra t- rail/Hb launcher turbo hybrid irons experience

    After talking to my club pro I suggested my pp to try the Cobra T Rail and he has never looked back. I tried them and even bought a used 6 iron off eBay to really give them a good test. I found them really easy to hit and great fun. However, they launched the ball too high for me. You can flight...

    Chipper Fitting

    On my chipper I have noticed that more grass and debris collects closer to the toe of the clubface. Does this mean the club is too upright or too flat for me? Can you have a loft & lie check done on a chipper? Should have I insisted on being fitted for it? I can post photos if it helps or do...

    Scotty Cameron Select Jet Set

    Bought some wedges recently. Young pro sales guy was asking me how many I wanted. “Two” I said. “Hmm that makes gapping difficult considering the lofts on your irons. How is your bag made up? How many fairways? How many hybrids? 5 iron to PW? Plus putter…..Brilliant”, he says. “3 wedges will...

    Explanar, anyone have one?

    I have a Plane Swing. It sorted out my problem at the time and was quite a revelation in understanding the correct plane. It made me realise that at shaft parallel in the backswing there is virtually no wrist break but by the time the lead arm is parallel and in what I considered a very short...

    The much maligned 10 finger grip

    Well, if it gets me to scratch…? I really want to change to baseball grip because the quality of strike I get is so much better and in the net when hitting ball after ball, it works well. On the course though, I do hit a lot of big draws / hooks when using baseball. Reading some of these replies...

    In the depths of despair….

    I feel for you. I really do. My advice FWIW would be firstly to forget YouTube. I know you are looking for answers and I know all too well it’s addictive, but right now you can do more harm than good. Right now, you don’t actually know what you are trying to resolve. Forget everything you have...

    The much maligned 10 finger grip

    That’s interesting. I wonder why you found overlap to be more stable with less emphasis on the wrists. Maybe because the hands are closer together? The main reason I am experimenting with the 10 finger is that my interlock has never been stable and has a tendency to move. The 10 finger certainly...

    The much maligned 10 finger grip

    I have been experimenting with the 10 finger, sometimes referred to (mistakenly) as the baseball grip or the full-fingered grip. This grip seems to be frowned upon by the vast majority of teaching professionals, seemingly because having all the fingers of the stronger trail hand on the grip can...

    Driver issues.

    Thank you very much Bob. Your advice is much appreciated. I think you maybe right. I doubt my path has changed. Nothing feels different, it’s just the result has changed. It’s quite possible that in my efforts to weaken my grip over time I have gone too a little too far in relation to my path as...
