The A Swing: The Alternative Approach to Great Golf

I was talking in what you should do this winter to raise your golf gameplay. By reading books, watching DVD's from info about the subject teachers your past game of golf lately. Names like Hank Haney, Jim McLean, David Leadbetter, Dave Pelz, Bob Rotella, Dave Stockton and Butch Harmon. Today, we will talk about your physical prepping. What are you doing this winter to stay in shape, stay healthy. Do you have a system? Is it personalized? Does it help your golf business? Did you know that you get an access to golf exercise and diet program built just for you a new fitness veteran? Yes you can. Titleist developed a course of study. To help help understand the program, what better than an official Instructor of the program. We have found an interview with Melanie Scrase, TPI Certified Train.

The other thing C-posture may produce in the backswing is a reverse spine or a leaning within the upper body back toward the goal. This common swing fault doesn't position the golfer well for initiating the downswing in suitable hitting cycle. that being with the hips first. Needs to be fact, overturn spine often results on the TPI in dallas upper body controlling the downswing, an over-the-top swing plane, and also a casting with the golf association. The sum of these is is one thing powerless slice of golfing business ball that has a frustrating round of golf.

It's in order to see them than to use and describe them, when you clear examples . visual, a person are see the pictures here This Web Page. You can also see an absolute of 42 exercises including about endless weeks of frustration ball exercises in my e-book, Flatten Your Abs and that includes multiple photos of each movement showing start and handle positions.

The roller is also an efficient way to de-stress tissue around the of the leg, for example the Iliotibial Band (IT Band) and the peroneals, specifically difficult access to with conventional stretches, as well as focusing on tight knots or bands within a muscle.

By comparison, Little Rory McIlroy whips his hips an average 720 degrees per second! With that amount of energy being transferred into his torso, his arms don't need power to the extent that they require being stable to be able to deliver peak power at impact.

What is it possible to do? While your teaching pro helps you with swing mechanics, can he or she let you know on tips on how to remain injury free? Do you know what exercises are absolutely essential for golf? Are you aware which exercises will help, and may hurt? That's doubtful.

Learning how you can execute kettlebell exercises correctly isn't merely a question of safety. It's also a question of ultimate outcomes. The better you perform moves, the greater you'll preview the results kettlebells can provide your body and bricks-and-mortar fitness.

What are your hopes/expectations for Microsoft at E3?

Gonna be a long read but i hope you guys bear with me.
It now seems pretty certain that Microsoft will reveal the name, release date and price of the Scorpio at E3 and that's definitely something to look forward to. Richard Leadbetter from Digital Foundry said he expects people will be really happy with how it looks, so my guess is that the rumours about it being smaller than the Xbox One S are true. Which is incredible since the power brick is built in too. Reading through all articles from DF it's pretty clear that they thought of everything and i don't think we have to be afraid that there will be heat problems with this one since it contains a really awesome cooling solution. After having seen the videos and articles one thing is for damn sure and that is that Microsoft's hardware team really came through and came out swinging. As DF said it themselves it's all very impressive and in terms of hardware leaders, Xbox is back.
And you can be damn sure Scorpio will stay in the news until E3 i'm sure and it would be great if their E3 show is just as impressive. At the same time i try to keep my expectations low, and i tried to talk about this yesterday with fellow gamers on NeoGAF until i noticed i had been banned for the most stupidest of reason. That goddamn place really needs mods with common sense. But i keep seeing people that have really high expectations of MS at E3 and that's understandable, however reality right now is that first party is a bit of a problem and Phil Spencer acknowledges that as well. It would be absolutely fantastic if they can eventually turn things around drastically, like they did for the hardware with Scorpio but that remains to be seen.
So with that in mind we probably shouldn't expect any huge surprises, as awesome as that would be though. I mean a new console with a lot of power and some really cool new IP announced? Bring it, but not likely. Unless they really kept things close to the chest, but folks with some inside knowledge said there isn't really much new stuff known right now, of course E3 could change that. As for expectations and hopes....i think Crackdown 3 will be a huge showcase for them along with Forza 7. I hope Crackdown 3 looks fantastic, offers a worthwhile singleplayer experience, all the features that made the first one so good and of course new features. Personally never been very interested in the Forza Motorsport series, give me Horizon over it any day.
Hopefully State of Decay 2 looks great and i hope they show that the performance is drastically better than the first and especially that it isn't as repetitive as the first one. I think it's not out of the question that Moon Studios will debut their next game there, mayhe Ori 2 or perhaps a brand new IP. A while ago i recall them saying they looked forward to E3 and Thomas Mahler from Moon Studios had been teasing on NeoGAF as well. I don't expect it but i hope CD Projekt RED actually debuts Cyberpunk 2077 on Scorpio there, just like they did with Witcher 3 a few years ago. We have no idea how far along the game is, but a showing would be fantastic. Furthermore i can see Halo 6 being teased (hopefully gameplay, cinematic trailers just don't mean anything in my book) for next year and i would hope at least one new IP. Even though Phil Spencer did say they would not announce and/or shows games too early next time, because look at Scalebound and he made a good point there. Last but certainly not least i hope they announce some Japanese games Xbox One has missed out on so far, as a result of Phil's visit to Japan. After all the good man did recently tweet there was a lot of interest in Scorpio/Xbox One from third party publishers there, and even though he knew he had said this before that Japanese games would indeed be coming to Xbox.
So....what are your expectations/hopes?

Review: David Leadbetter's "A" Swing from a Beginner's Take

Hey guys, just thought I'd give some thoughts as a newbie about David Leadbetter's new book, the "A" Swing.
Now, I'm a pretty big newb to golf. I've had maybe 2 lessons in the last 15 years, and they weren't exactly close together. I can chip to some degree, but the rest of my swing has been pretty inconsistent. I decided I wanted to get better at golf and started with Hogan's 5 Fundamentals. I tell ya - if I didn't have a hook before, I sure as hell had one after implementing what I learned.
A lot of reviews I've read about Leadbetter's book talk about his swing and how its different. I don't have much to compare to.
The book's layout flows well - he gives some theory on why his swing works, and how we should be approaching it from a high level view. In a nutshell, you hold the core strong while allowing the upper back to keep stretching against the core during the backswing, which creates torque; then you learn how to use that torque to your advantage.
I'm still learning the full "swing" if you will, but the real value from the book has been the exercises. He puts you through this sort of routine where you can practice the motion of the swing with no club whatsoever. Tough one to buy, yeah, but I tried it out.
Since I've starting applying the fundamentalsI've learned in this book (and I'm nowhere near perfect here - my focus is really on how he structures his backswing, and I haven't really had enough practice time to focus on the rest), my results have been nothing short of dramatic.
The last two times I've been to the range, I couldn't believe how consistently I was able to hit the ball with no hook or slice. My aim is still decently poor, but everytime I analyze my swing/posture, I can see why the ball went the way it did. It was rarely due to the swing itself, rather, I just wasn't spending the time to actually try to align my body to the target.
Today, the second day since applying this stuff (and my 5th time on the range in the last year or so), I couldn't believe how many straight, strong shots I was making in a row. It truly came down the exercises - I went through the swinging exercise just before I changed each club, and I'm super enthused.
Now, I don't want to claim "miracle" product here or anything - as a very poor player, I had a lot of room to improve. I'm just really excited to see the results I've seen in such a small amount of time.
Happy to answer any questions.

Me vs the Mrs. - what you do off the range counts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZSWLNDJEMs
So my wife and I started playing golf in August last year. And so we've played about the same number of rounds, practiced similar amounts. I've probably hit twice as many balls admittedly by virtue of physical stamina during a range session.
But visually you can see a pretty big gap in the number and size of swing faults. I'm by no means anything substantially beyond "OK", but it's visually there.
The main difference is what I do between the range sessions.

tonnes of youtube

And reviewing footage each night from my Sony Action Cam AS200V (used to have a gopro 3 black but the sony is better for artificial lighting).
UPDATE:
OK, a lot of negative comments and I guess I deserve that considering the audience. I posted the same thing on facebook and had great comments about us doing well and my wife has also done very well with her progress. But of course, /golf'ers are known to brag but the point of this post was really, honestly to remind people that what you do off the course is probably a bigger factor to your improvement than most care to admit.
I have helped my wife as much as I can, * I give her my analysis of her vids as best as I can * I try to find potential drills for her based on her most egregious swing faults * She has the same access to youtube that I do * She has access to the same books
But none of the above is the same as doing the homework yourself.
She has recently made me very happy to see she started reading Ben Hogan's. So she's actually improved more in the last 2 weeks than the last 6 months!
I definitely think she's more talented than me and has more potential. She scored her first birdies well before I did that's for sure!

Shame of the Codds

Yohn looked out at the water from his window, the black waves rolling for miles crashing against rock and hurrying sailors to their destinations.In the distance he could see the island of Saltcliffe, home to House Sunderly and Saltcliffe The wind blew hard today, his hair had been writhing since he came to the window, having to push it out of his face constantly.
Today is the day. House Codd will awaken. I will make my father proud. Yohn turned from the window, the cool seabreeze still blowing his hair, filling the room with the smell of ocean. Yohn always loved that smell. The lords chamber of Codd Hall was a decent size, and was a welcome site. A large linen carpet covered the dark wooded floor in front of the room's hearth. In the corner of the room lie a bookshelf riddled with different books and scrolls all crammed into the shelves gathering dust. The bed was fine, the supports made from oak, and the bed covered in various furs and linens. On the right side of the bed a woman lay asleep, her hair a bundle of black curls across her neck. Talla looks beautiful even as she sleeps..How many more mornings will I have like this, where there is no screaming baby? Yohn shuddered at the thought. Once the baby is born, Talla will have her hands full. When she isn't taking care of the child, she will be sleeping. Might as well allow her to sleep in today Yohn walked over to a drawer and took out a black tunic and grey breeches and slipped them both on. Silently closing the door, he started his descent to the bottom of the stairs and into the forehall, a hallway having 4 rooms designated for specific guests of House Codd. Upon reaching the foot of the stairs, Yohn noticed Maester Larris propped up against the right wall in the forehall. He was from the Riverlands, a man of 50 and 2. He had short grey hair and a lazy right eye. Yohns father, Bael, had assigned him as maester of House Codd, and has served loyally for 11 years. Although a greenlander, Yohn new maesters were of great use. Besides, Talla would soon bear child, and the maester could prove vital in the birth.
"Lord, good morning. You look well today." The maester said with a smile, immediately taking his place at Yohn's side as he walked.
"Maester Larris. Any ravens in the night? Any news to offer?" Yohn said without even a glance at the maester. Larris tapped his fingers together, he always did that when he was thinking.
"No my lord, not a single raven," Larris breathed."But there are some issues i would like to touch upon today. Most of them not important at the moment."
"That is correct, Larris. Not important at the moment. Who's up?" Yohn said briskly.
"The kitchen staff, and i believe some of the crew. I believe i saw 2 or 3 in the Great Hall as I passed through." The maester said tapping his fingers.
"Good, i will speak to you after some food. We can talk after." Yohn said, finally meeting the maesters eye with a quick smile. Maester Larris made a quick nod, and walked off in a hurry. I like the maester, but I can only handle that man in small doses. Yohn chuckled to himself as he came into a opening in the middle of the Pillar Keep. The yard, a square area filled with dirt. There were 2 hay bales against the wall of the yard. Above you could see the dark, cloudy sky of the Iron Islands. Oh the years I spent in this yard. Training from sun up till the afternoon. This is where I learned how to swing my axe. Such simpler times those were. I left running the house to father, while I trained, and stayed with Talla all day. After passing through the yard, Yohn came to the doors to the Salt Keep. Two Iron-bound doors that had the engraving of the house sigil, a codd fish. Yohn pushed the doors open to reveal the Great Hall. Here, the Lords chair was located, and the hall also served as a dining area holding 4 large long tables. The lords chair was simple oak, and behind it hung the black banner of House Codd. After entering the room, Yohn was immediately called after by 2 men sitting at the closest dining table. They were helping themselves to plates of fish, and bacon.
"Captain! My lord! Yohn! Lord Codd!" They called out between mouthfuls of fish. Yohn made his way down the wooden steps and sat down at the table, pulling a plate of bacon and fish to his side. The two men sitting across from him were crew-members of The Lamentation, Yohn's ship, passed down to him after his father Bael couldn't captain it anymore.
The man sitting across from Yohn was Norne Pyke, a seasoned fighter of 40 and 3. He was a bald man, his face scarred from a life of violence. He had served on the ship for around 9 years now. He was missing his right ear. Funny; he always claims he lost it in battle, but everyone knows he cut it off one night in a drunken stupor during a bet The man next to Norne was Stephas Leadbetter. A senior on The Lamentation, he had served Yohn's father for years. He was one of Bael's closest friends. Stephas's hair was grey and fell to his shoulder, he had a very thick unkempt beard. He was probably getting to the age were he couldn't sail with them anymore.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After eating a quick meal and a hearty talk of going-on's at Pyke, Yohn left the Great Hall for the maester's study after not finding him at the rookery at the north end of the Salt Keep. He found the maester flipping through multiple scrolls in the study, still tapping his fingers together.
"So, you needed to speak with me?" Yohn asked him, getting right to the point. The maester tried putting down his scrolls, but instead fumbled with them, spilling them all on the floor clumsily. Yohn wiped his hand with his face, and pulled a bit of fish from his beard.
"Yes, yes. There are multiple disputes among the servants in the Hill Keep," the maester paused to tap his fingers, "And the lady Alannys Greyjoy has left to be Master of Ships for the Crown's small council." The maester now stopped tapping, his news over. The servants, Larris can deal with himself, or maybe Talla. But the Lady Greyjoy leaving for Kingslanding? That is far more interesting.
"I actually have something I need you to do for me Larris. I need to get a message to Aeron Greyjoy." Yohn said smiling, in thought. The maester squinted, obviously confused.
"What about?" Larris exclaimed. He seemed to not like where this was going.
"No need, but you do need parchment. We are sending it today." Yohn ordered, already grabbing some parchment and placing it on the desk in front of the maester. "Ready? This is what it will say."
Lord Paramount Aeron Greyjoy, of the Iron Islands,
I know in the past House Codd has been looked down upon by other houses. Most men here don't live up to the name Ironborn. They have been known to thieve and cower, and tarnish the name Codd. My father allowed these men to live among us, and call themselves our brothers.
A new day is dawning for House Codd. Since my fathers death, I have been wanting to impose changes here at Codd Hall. I want to eradicate the filth that has smeared the Codd name. I want my people to be called upon first by you in times of war. I want my house renewed.
I humbly ask if you need anything of House Codd at this time; anything of me. Your rule is legitimate, the Greyjoys have ruled the Islands for decades. I only wish to serve as best as I can. Soon i will be a father, and I don't want my child growing up with the shame of being a Codd. Anything you need, you need only command.
Lord Yohn, of House Codd

Does David Leadbetter's book, "The A Swing" mention Calvin Peete?

A review of the A Swing, I had a private lesson with David Leadbetter recently and I wanted to give a review of his book the A swing. There are lots of helpful tips that even helped my swing after the lesson(especially the grip and alignment chapters). In my opinion it is better than bens 5 5/5 star
