On a scale of 1 to 10, how important is balance in the golf swing to learn especially for one starting out in golf?
I'd say about 16. I got my balance from focusing on the core like squats, sit ups, leg presses, etc.
Has anybody used the new Perfect Connextion golf training aid? If so, does it really work, or is it just another gimmick?
After teaching thousands of students and explaining the theory and importance of connection, I am thrilled to have such a great product as yours to help me teach. The Perfect Connextion training aid allows my students to actually "feel" the large muscles activating and supplying the power to the golf swing. A common mistake I see with all levels of golfers is the desire to use the small muscles of their hands and fingers to generate power. The Perfect Connextion allows the repetition of a well sequenced golf swing to take place without the ever constant thinking process to inhibit a smooth swing. I have always felt and taught that "your swing is your swing no matter how long it may be", and with the Perfect Connextion you can "feel" the proper swing while putting, chipping, pitching, or hitting full irons and woods." I really feel this product will make the difficult task of acquiring a repetitive swing a possibility for golfers of all levels."

I have a fourball tournaments coming up within a few weeks, and am starting to feel my golf swing be very awkward. (Bad habits with my grips: Left thumb at 12 o clock, and right hand not consistent; generally not working together, and therefore have to make compnesations, such as opening or closing the clubface.) Should i buy a training grip, and practice with it? Both on and off the golf club..
Please reply…
great idea. any thrift store will have quality short iron. have grip put on this club. take to range. 4 buckets you will on the straight and narrow. another benefit . place couple base ball warm up doughnuts over shaft. grip re grip one hand. extra weight great positive. added bonus. practise chipping stroke weights attached, putting stroke also. great thought .
if you have what do you think? are there any benefits or drawbacks? im a scratch golfer who needs some help getting the clubhead square at impact. thanks
Blayne that sounds like it may be pretty good? Does it work well for woods( especially driver, Im long but wild)? Also, about how much did it cost you to build?thanks
For a scratch golfer (i'm a 3 hcp myself so i'm close) there is only one tool, swing machine. You can use resistance bands on it and it works out your muscles directly coordinated with the golf swing. I know your question was about the swingyde, but i've never used it but i've played and practiced at the HS level and College level and this is the ONLY swing aide that i see DRASTICALLY drop peoples scores. I swear by this machine. And the best thing is i linked you the 'offical' site, but, you can find the blueprints on the net and build one yourself. That's what i did and it took about a day. to you and everyone who reads this post GET THIS TRAINER, if you only buy one thing that will drop your scores this is what you need to get. Even if you don't pick this as best answer, leave a 'add detail' on the question thing and tell me if you want me to email you more info on it. THIS WILL FIX ALL YOUR IRON SWINGS. this will help. keep it in the short grass : )
If i remember correctly it was around $75 or so. depends on how much you can find PVC pipe for in your area. and to answer your other question YES! lol it works amazing with drivers. what you do is the longer the club, the flatter you lower the 'swing plane' mechanisim. That way it promotes a longer more fluid swing with your woods and long irons and the shorter or more pitch to the club the steeper you lift the 'swing plane'. Seriously this is an amazing machine. If you choose to build one or order one let me know what it does for you. And i'm sure a pro or a local golfer has seen one of these before and can help you build/find one.
