Thanks to all who used SwingNumber to improve their games in 2010.

In Victoria BC, the weather is just starting to warm up enough to get back out on the golf course. Time to warm up the game for a great golf season. Dave and I wish you a wonderful new year, and a year of great improvements on the golf course!

User Tips

admin — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:28:28 +0000

Something we hear often is that SwingNumber’s flash can also be used as a mental swing trigger. For example, one user was explaining that they had been working on fully loading into their left leg after impact, promoting a proper finish where the body is “looking” at the target. They noted that it was useful to use the flashing number as a way to trigger that thought and subsequent action at exactly the right time.

On a similar note, another user felt it was important that when the flash goes off, he feels that his weight has already transferred to the left side. He was suffering from hitting thick and finds SwingNumber has made a difference.

Swing Faults Revealed

Wanting to share a recent experience with my father. He’s always been an accurate golfer, but has had less power than he should given his great fitness level. I let him try a SwingNumber over Christmas, and at first he could not see the number, no matter what. We discovered the reason was that his shoulders were not being allowed to rotate independently of his head. His head was pretty much rotating with his upper body in one piece, making it impossible to see the number. A rotating head through impact will make it very hard to see the number. As soon as he started relaxing his neck, and allowing his shoulders to rotate freely (left shoulder separating from the chin at the beginning of the downswing), he started to see the number. I think with continued practice he’ll see substantial improvement in his power.

“Keep Your Head Down” is problematic.

Are you a “stuck” student, or a “spin-out” student?

Had an interesting discussion today with a couple of teaching pros. We were discussing how there are approximately two camps of students. The first tend to get “stuck” at impact. They try so desperately to “keep their heads down” that they end up putting a lot of strain on their necks, and turn what would otherwise be a naturally flowing swing into something abrupt and ugly. On the other hand, the second camp tends to “spin out” at or even before impact. Their bodies tend to be too open too soon, and quite often end up hitting week fades or slices. The beauty of SwingNumber N1 is that it can really work for both camps.

The “stuck” students should be told to do everything they can to end in a nice finish with their bodies fully released and looking down the fairway. Because N1 flashes so quickly, they won’t be tempted to fixate on it. They should be told “all you have to do is see the number, then do everything you can to get to the finishing position”.

The “spin-out” student should be told to do everything they can to see the number. The great thing is that there’s no risk of them turning into “stuck” students because the flash happens so quickly.

There’s some truth to “keep your head down”, it’s just too bad it’s a little misleading. Perhaps “learn to see impact” is better, especially if we start to think of our bodies as “seeing impact”, not just our eyes. As we all know, many great golfers don’t actually see impact, but pictures prove that their bodies all do.
