is it possible?

[rharris06]

Hi,

If I could hit the ball out the middle of the clubface everytime id be the happiest boy in the world no matter where the ball goes! Im a good golfer but the thing that bugs me most is miss-hits off the toe or heel I HATE IT!

Do you think it would be possible to build a golf swing that made you catch it out the middle of club every single time?? Moe Norman probably did this!!

I think you would have to have a real short golf swing where your left arm goes to about 9'o'clock and hit kind of a punch shot?

What do you guys think>

Re: is it possible?

my first thought would be balance issues, you may be getting too much on teh balls or heels of the feet. for you it must be somewhere in the set up cause your swing looks good

Re: is it possible?

My question was nothing to do with my swing.

I was just saying, do you think anybody or if its possible for anybody to hit EVERYSINGLE SHOT out the middle and if so how would you have to go about building a swing to do that.

Hi, all.

You can improve your eye-hand coordination.

A good exercise is to hold a blaster with your right hand and make a golf ball bounce on the clubface as many times as you can until the ball touch the floor.

Change your hand.

You should walk and move during the exercise.

Do it everyday, it just takes a few minutes.

Hope this helps.

Toni,

I am curious as to what a "blaster" is. Is this a club, training aid or am I
misunderstanding your comment to fharris06?

Is it that thing that Tiger does with a wedge and a ball?

I might benefit from this exercise.

Thanks

I would imagine someone like tiger has range sessions where he hits 100 balls or more in a row where he hits it dead flush, but EVERY SINGLE shot dead flush, he has to miss one sooner or later, for him I would imagine it is later.

Re: is it possible?

Toni, I am too curious as to what a blaster is. I am assuming it's the sand wedge.

Ricky, I don't think you could create a swing that could guarantee each and every strike in the middle of the club face. I say this because there are too many variables, eg, lie. Each and every variable has to be allowed for. So in answer to your question I don't think that it is possible.

If it's not to do with your swing then what is it to do with?

If you are not hitting from the sweetspot then something is wrong, it's to do with either your setup or your swingpath or body movements.

Hi, everybody, specialy Nicole ( not so many girls as we'd wish at GTO ).

A blaster is a sand wedge but you can do it with any iron, the more lofted the easier the exercise is.Tiger used to do it with the top of his driver while waiting on the tee. That's difficult...
Begin with little bounces and increase them more and more and move at the same time.

A good exercise for developing your eye-hand coordination that can help in the critical HITTING AREA of your swing, golf is a game of millimetres.

Re: is it possible?

Ricky - if you haven't read Rotelli's "Golf is not a perfect game" I suggest you do. We are not machines, that is why they test balls with an iron byron. As mention by Brian W, if he club path is off or the club face is not square an off center hit will result. In golf, it is easy to err on one or both of these factors. No matter what sport, players cannot be perfect all the time - Golf especially. However, you are a 6 Handicapp and you must be hit the ball squarely - I'm guessing 80-90 percent of the time. For the 10-20 % of the time you not striking well, you need to learn to foret about it.

Re: is it possible?

I just thought I would start a discussion about it, just to see if you think anyone will come along and actually do this. My game is fine thanks nothing to do with ym swing or game, just a discussion.

But I do admitt I am a perfectionist and when I do miss hit it sometimes I do get real aggrevated because in my head even if I stick it too 2ft from 150 yards it isnt a good shot unless I hit it out the middle. I know I need to change that!

But, I dont think anyone will ever have a swing that hits the ball out of the middle everytime!

Re: is it possible?

I'm not at all sure that I like your pretext for starting discussion. I think that you would have received just as much response if you had posed the
issue more honestly. Say something like "What might or someone do should they want to be more consistent in hitting the sweet spot?"

Not that I am trying to start something I only wanted to know that a "blaster" was.

Peace in the middleeast

My contact is perfectly great at the moment, I obviously didnt explain my first post very well.
