How do I select the Right Driver for my game?

I use a Stiff Flex, 10 degree Driver.  It happens to be a Callaway Big Bertha Steelhead Plus at the moment!  :-)  My longest drive has been 302 yards.  The longest, NOT THE AVERAGE!!!!!

My partner uses an old Yonex, and gets drives of 250 to 300 yards out of it consistently.  It's 9 degrees, stiff, and he irritates me.

Videotape Yourself

Have a Video Camera??  TAPE YOURSELF!! You will be AMAZED at how bad you look swinging the clubs, and very impressed with yourself that you can pick out the flaws!!  WARNING:  WE are our own worst critics.  You will find a lot that can be improved.  Work on one area at a time (i.e. follow through, backswing, keeping head down, etc.) 

A GREAT trick I once tried was rather simplistic in nature.  As mentioned, I get a lot of practice on the course.  One day, I brought my neighbors video camera (you didn't think I would take mine, did you????)  I fastened with bungee cords the video camera to the front metal frame that holds the windshield on my cart.  Whenever I came to my ball, I turned the camera on.  After my (mis)hit, I turned the camera off.  I was kind enough to also do that for my partner.

I found out MORE during that 15 minutes (yes, the tape was ONLY 15 minutes.  Think about it) then I had learned in the previous five years.  Try it, let me know if it works for you.

Stance

How far should you stand from the ball?   Take your regular left hand grip.  Hold the club straight out.  Slowly lower to the ground.  There you go.  Set up to shoot.  You should have no more than a fist and a half between the end of the club and your body.  Feel uncomfortable?  GOOD!!  You know it must be right.

Pencil To Keep Wrist Straight!!

We firmly believe we have insisted upon the necessity of keeping your wrist straight / solid / DO NOT FLEX for chips shots.  If you find you just can't get the hang of this, then find a pen (or a pencil).  Next time you have to keep your right wrist fixed, stick a pen between your watch so that it covers your wrist and part of your palm.

You'll get the hang real quick.  If you STILL don't, use a pencil sharpened on both ends.  OUCH!! You'll get the hang real fast!!  :-)

(Note to readers:  We don't REALLY encourage you to use a sharp object.  Only if you have medical insurance, and don't mind pain!!)
