[x] Annual target achieved

2011-12-18T14:48:00.000-08:00

Hi.
I come straight back from the golf club fitting from the Munster house. I have a couple times just for fun iron looked at and tested. At the moment I am playing more with the Burner 1.0 regular society. So am also really goodcontent, but in the near future, I must get away from the "frying pans";)
Well, were tested Titleist AP1 (AP2 was not there in my size), Mizuno and Ping S56 JPX800Pro on Flight Scope.

Amazing numbers came out of it.The AP1 feel similar to how my burner. Very top-heavy and very large heads. Of these, I would actually gone. If I buy now what it should already be a bit of a challenge and also to HCP 5 playable;)The JPX800 Pro, I found the feeling very nice. But strangely enough, had no good at different distances and somehow end variants (Dynamic Gold R300, 400 and Dynalite R300) does not really improve.Have won for me the Ping S56. Just fucking great parts. Also in the address position they already make fun - very small heads! If you then hit the Speetspot, they feel just like the JPX800, except that here I was with about 20 meters (AWT Stiff shaft).I had one with the 6 iron Mizuno 142Meter beaten up (too much) while I was at the PING's a 7 iron and I've dug 145-155 meters usually so Carry.The exact values were (7 iron / Ping S56 with AWT - S shaft):Club Head Speed: 79 to 86.5 mp / h (kaboooom! niiice;))Carry distance: 138-156 feet (?? WTF This is more than 156 meters are 20 meters longer than my Burner, which I play now - believe the Flight Scope was broken ^ ^)The rest I do not know anymore.In any case, we have also tested Lie Board and different handles. Need 3 degrees upright, 1 inch longer and definitely Midsize. He said that due to the small handles I also tend to Hooker. Hence the name;) one probably.which then has an end soon ^ ^Well yes, and since my annual goal was to hit 140 meters with a 7 iron, I can now [x] tick. I had the 140m with my old iron already partially done on the pitch, but sometimes inaccurate in terms. So now it's official;) The values are probably about right (a flatter ball flight better body and a good ball, range ball instead makes it possible). Now I must throw myself well again in the HCP-hunting. HCP 15 later this year would be some measure ne;)I must GolfHouse praise also indicate: The Pro there has given me a super tip to the setup for the journey and was otherwise mega friendly, though I've told him from the beginning that I will buy for 900 EUR no sentence therethat elsewhere costs 510EUR max. Did he even understand:) I promised him in return that I will now buy in the future, all small parts that I need as the golf house.

Test PING S57 Irons

2011-12-17T14:50:00.000-08:00

Yeeeahhhhaa! My new shoes arrived yesterday! I told you a few weeks ago that I wanted to determine what new things. I then spoke of the S56, but after a bit of "Gegoogle" and have used it a few interviews now become S57,which have exactly the shank and the dimensions that I wanted.
The good thing about the S57 is that they still have the old "illegal from 2024" grooves have - no idea if this affectsmy game. I fear no more;)
Well, the price was just the main argument for the used vehicle. I now have a 3-PW (omg!). The bats are from Germany, which is at PING products an advantage because they PING repaired in case of a small defect free.Otherwise I would have ordered in New England. German prices are just ne impudence;) also fit it for free by PINGclubs bought in Germany. So from 2 degrees up to 4 degrees or so - depending on taste ....
The timing is perfect. The major tournaments are run. Now I can devote myself all winter my new "challenge". Theclub championships I shall probably still playing with the old set. Better safe than sorry;)
Well, I'm off then to the driving range ... bye
P.S.: Offset is for girls;)

MLP - GOLF JOURNAL Trophy

2011-12-16T14:43:00.000-08:00

Quick update from me: I've just won the MLP GOLF JOURNAL Trophy. 42 net points have very nearly enough forthe victory in my class (12.5 to 23.4). The runner had 41 points * phew *
This allowed me to win the trip to the Grand Final (24 to 28 January 2012) in Turkey and am really looking forwardto it.
I will report in detail, of course, as I have cut off. The raki I've already packed into the bag;)
The tournament itself was really great. Perfect conditions, exceptionally great organization, great food andextraordinary good prices. So if you are lucky enough to live near one of the venues still to come this 40-part seriesshould think about visiting. Also a larger arrival is definitely worthwhile.

Choosing the right putter

2011-12-12T19:41:00.000-08:00

Hi. Yet, another article on the equipment. I'm just very unhappy with my putting. Currently I use a classic8802-style blade putter:

However, I noticed that I'm using this putter putts that are actually straight right or left over push (push or pull). Thecourse is extremely annoying and frustrating especially. First I got my grip on reverse of Interlocking Interlocking(Tiger Woods uses this putting grip) changed, which meant that my misses instead of left, then went right over.Nevertheless, it was not improved. Now I have a little rumgeforscht, googled and even asked my Pro, which brought me to the following conclusions:
First Objectives: if a golfer tends to aim too far left, can help a putter with more loft or more offset. However, heoften aims too far right, helps a putter with less loft and less offset.
Second Swing path: A golfer who closes the clubface during the putting stroke, which is a curved (arched) hasswing plane, benefits obtained by a similar blade putter, putter with one or more toe-Weight (typical of bladeputter). In contrast, for a golfer whose swing plane rather runs straight (straight) a face-balanced mallet putter or an advantage.

You can find out whether a putter face balanced or toe is balanced by the shaft on your finger and looks at what angle to the ground settles the bat. A face-balanced putter is approximately 0 °, ie parallel to the floor, a typicalAnser-style putter will stabilize at about 45 ° and 70 ° at about 8802 blade
Third Economic position: a putter with a shaft in the center closes three times faster than a putter where the shaft isattached to the rear.
4th Loft & Lie: Is the hand position slightly down to the front (like the LAG with the iron), one has to adapt naturallyto achieve the loft of the putter to optimum values and uniform roles.

: typischer Anser-Style Putter

: typischer Mallet Putter

A very nice tool to putter Odyssey offers the company:
http://www.odysseygolf.com/global/de-de/putten/putter-fitting-modul.html
I hope this helps you in choosing the most important club in your bag. I've personally found that my 8802-Bladeputter for my very straight swing plane is just exactly the wrong device, even if he looks at the coolest; (
Will probably soon have to run around with a mallet putter in the bag ... Well if it helps the score, I'm very happy to ^^
So long ... Captain Ho0k

Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible

2011-12-12T16:53:00.000-08:00

Hi, been a long update. I was e.g. because I was in Rome for a week and at the moment still has to learn for examne. What about the other bloggers, I do not know.
Today I want to briefly recommend a book that I bought recently: Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is a classic andrequired reading for the serious golfer.

I stumbled on it by the book "Dream on", because the Short Game Bible the protagonist on his last lap took a decisive step forward. In English 2 +2 forum only raved about him and the Americans know in golf, what is good:) I also had a few months ago with one Singlehandicapper in flight, which had long game rather HCP20 level, but theextremely good wedges gutmachte this abuse again. Armed with a laser knife he put almost every ball from 'inside100 meters' directly to the floor within two feet for a putt. Something I had not seen and not thought possible. It wasreally impressive! I then asked him how he is doing and he replied only: "Dave Pelz!
In the book, namely achievements include a principle with which one of the three standard wedges which one doesso with itself, through various swing techniques 12 (!) Can cover distances (see figure below). So a real 'must have' in my opinion . Moreover, the Dave Pelz Short Game for a long time coach of Phil Mickelson, which speakswell for the quality of the author.
I've worked through the book yet, but that is taken in any event for the fall season in attack.
Unfortunately, there's this thing as far as I know only in English ...
He has also brought out other plants. This is the best known. 416 pages of pure golf Strategy. With graphs, pictures and massive shots from all possible positions. Dave Pelz is the game of golf as well revulotinär, as it was Dan Harrington for the game of poker ... mega much strategy, executed technically sound ... Since each thesiswould look old;)
so far,

Get a grip?

2011-12-12T16:27:00.000-08:00

Lately I've necessarily somewhat more concerned with equipment that I had even brought me a new wedge. The seller then asked me fit in something I've never been considered "standard or midsize." I just looked at him puzzledand shrugged his shoulders. He quickly had his tape measure at hand, and found that I'm lying in between. SoStandard handle with 3 layers of extra tape or Midsize yet? When I took a midsize racket from the shop in the hand was clear: It feels better to viiiieeel. So Midsize.
A little later Googled and looked and found that it should continue its attacks according to the manufacturer every 40 rounds or changed at least once a year. This is perhaps a little exaggerated and more like a value, such aschanging the oil in the car or razor blades, specified by the manufacturer to achieve a "Bestergebnis".Nevertheless, my handles are already mega old, because I've used my set three years ago at auction as eBay andThe handle of the pitching wedge is quite eierig. So have New ago.
New handles you get for 3-11 EUR / unit and the rearing is relatively simple and can be done easily at home.Detailed installation instructions can be found here or on the sides of pie-golf.com video as well.
Handles are good almost everywhere. One only has to decide what preferences you have (Slip Resistant to moisture, impact speed, feedback, etc. ..)
The pure Cordgriff, through its many pores and the soft material designed to be very strong to rain and moisture.Where the rubber grip performs best at Trocknheit and quick bat speed. The details, however, would go beyond the frame. The best way to drive in my opinion with a dual attack (hybrid of rubber and cord grip).
Finally, a few links:
Snake Eyes Dual

Winn G8 AVS extra stiff dual
But as I said, these are just some examples and impressions. Ultimately, everyone must decide yourself andevaluate what is best for one person. I wanted to broach the subject only briefly and did not intentionally posted mynew handle;)

Test: Laser Rangefinders

2011-12-12T14:56:00.000-08:00

Christmas is coming and who has not the right gift for your loved ones could possibly think about buying a rangefinder.
There are many different models. I will present here the three most famous. Important for rangefinders for golf is that they have a so-called Pinseeker mode. This means that they are always the distance to the nearest convenient for display object. This is important and very useful if you for example a flag in 150 m targeted while unstable or it iswindy. With Pinseeker mode can be determined by the distance in 1-2 seconds, it takes a little longer and withoutbecomes annoying in the long run! The whole 99, - EUR Japan offers so I let out before, because in my opinion arecrap. In forums I've also read that they go broke quickly or completely false view distances, once they have fallen down. Savings made here will pay twice later.
The best known model is probably the Bushnell V2, Solid Socket has as one. During testing I was able to copewell. Great device:

Bushnell V2 (cheapest price so far: Amazon 269,- EUR)

There are two versions of this device. Once a standard tour and then V2 version as Tour V2 Slope. The slopeversion can also measure altitude differences and then calculate the length of the ball flight. In my opinion,unnecessary knick-knacks. Also banned in tournaments, so stay away from the Slope version! The standardversion is currently probably the ultimate. Great thing. Also comes with direct practical, waterproof bag that can be attached to the bag.

There is also the Bushnell Medalist for 229,-EUR. Makes essentially the same, is only slightly larger and bulkier so.

In this enumeration can the Leupold GX-GX-I to IV do not miss (lowest price: golf addiction Munich 286,-EUR):

For a long time top dog on the rangefinder market it was supplanted by the cheaper Bushnell. Again, there are different models. The range goes from 1 to GX-GX-4. Unfortunately, all relatively expensive. The GX-2 and 4 both have a slope mode, GX-4 when you can disable it with a key to the device to be used in tournaments. Who needs it. The flagship cost then they're just 480,-EUR;)

Then there's the Nikon 350G or 550G (lowest price: Amazon 198,-EUR):
The 350G is the device that I own myself for 3 months. Works well and easily as the other models. At that time it was in the offer to have a "golf package" for 183,-EUR. Here then was a neoprene sleeve and a pocket for a golf bag. In addition, some tea and a Nikon's plastic pitch fork;) Amazon is really cheap here, because everywhere else the device will cost about 260, - EUR up. I am using the 350G IST 100% satisfied, I had doubts but only to acquire the quasi outsiders. But Nikon is known to have a prestigious company and the Pinseeker mode works perfectly.Within 1-2 seconds I got the distance!In my opinion, the clear winner in this collection. All devices listed are standard equipment are relatively close together, but the price just speaks clearly for the Nikon350G.Here, not far from covering all devices. If you really want to buy a Range Finder should, furthermore still inquire about search engine on the net, seek advice and try out various models in the pro shop or golf shop.In the square there's been a tremendous help. I think especially for distances below 120 meters and it is very convenient. I'm just trying Pelzs'chen with the method (see article), to cover all distances well. By summer I will have on it:) There is a range finder that works quickly and accurately duty ...so long, Cpt Ho0k

1-2 months before I had made the ball fitting somewhere online. I can hardly remember. The more I am happy now about the free samples ...
Then we can go off now:) Many thanks to the company for Titleist!

Book: Dream on

2011-12-12T14:49:00.000-08:00

Hi. I came across a couple of days on a good book. It's about golf and seller in UK - directly ordered times;)
The book is about a 37-year-old father, who is also very busy at work, but within a year of trying a PAR-round play,although he has at the moment Handicap 24th

Here's the back-cover text:
Only dreaming on - as I have tried in just one year, a PAR to play round "John Richardson did a good job, a nice family and is an average amateur golfers with handicap 24, when he decides to reach within one year handicap 0Seine. requirement is that it neither the profession nor may neglect his family. he became a regular guest on the golf course and turns in his training the famous golfer Severiano Ballesteros in front as a permanent companion. If John plays well, Ballesteros nods appreciatively when John poorly . plays disfiguration Ballesteros's face and goes from place Richardson says in his book incredibly humorous and inspiring as he sat down a big goal and by whatmethods he worked - until later on that glorious day in a year when he is the best round of golf his life was playing. "
The translation is sometimes a bit lousy. He tries not just to achieve HCP 0, but a round of even-PAR to play. I'mnot quite through, so I can tell you nothing, only this: The book is for everyone Golfsüchtling "must read": D
At the beginning, although giving a little going lame, but later becomes really exciting. It also includes a few tips and techniques, is also a lot of training literature as Pelz Short Game Bible or Ballasteros' Videos addressed and evaluated. Anyway, Ben Hogan and Seve are Ballersteros in spirit always there to train if the good is Richard;)
So I highly recommend it and expect the little end. What do you think? Can you make it? He proposes a stop inalmost every lunch break 100 balls, in the evening then again two hours Miscellaneous. And throughout the year.Plus Strategy @ Work and Learning in the bedroom (LOL nerd;))
Worthwhile in any case ...
soon, cpt Ho0k

Test: Tour Striker und Tour Striker Pro

2011-12-12T14:46:00.000-08:00

I inserted myself in a few weeks ago Spicygolfforum in a list, in order to test the free Tourstriker allowed. A forummember had kindly Tourstriker 4 different models made available and these are now starting to come to forumusers who express an interest sent. You can test it for a week and then it must send to the next member in the list.This results in only postage costs. A great idea!
When I came the ominous-looking thugs yesterday.

Left shows a normal 7-iron, 7 iron Tourstriker the right. Among the Tourstriker again. The little face does not necessarily make a trustworthy impression, I must confess ... :) This is purely a training bat. The intention is topunish by the rounding of the sole of all strokes that are not played with maximum LAG. Above all, spoonbills,topped shots or shots with an open clubface will be punished here.
LAG is important in order to reach long distances and to create solid contact. Here is a picture that looks like the professionals:

It is therefore important to shift the lowest point in the swing forward, so that at impact the hands are ahead of the ball. Only way to create solid Ballstriking.
This is intended to train the Tourstriker.
For me, it fits perfectly in time, because I always wanted to just work on it. Swing Plane is currently OK, now we will start more LAG and thus generate more distance (annual goal: 140m carry with 7 iron - you may remember - every now and then been done, but constant's are more like 135 so far,. )) it is equal to the range. I'm curious if I can cope with the Tourstriker.
So if you say the next time one hears HCP '49: "How am I supposed to come at a position under the ball?", It refersto this article. Then the Gelöffel (and bawling?) Has an end;)
Trip Report I will then add in the next few days ...
First experiences with the application first Tourstriker I met relatively well. The balls were flying and after a shorttime I had even met my goals. With the Pro model, it was somewhat difficult. Initially, I met only about 1 in 5, andthen only with extreme concentration and chill 3 / 4 swing. Since then I've found my site. I will now try deliberately togenerate more LAG. When I try to swing thoughts specifically on Monte's Shift - Turn - Shift - Turn principle set,since this principle is also automatically generated LAG. Let's see if I meet you in 7 days, the thing even with a full swing, while 200 yards away sculptural (will not happen);)
Oh yes: yes, although the bottom part is round, so you can hit incredibly huge divots:) Have fun - i like!
So Long, CptHo0k

Rücken zum Ziel

2011-12-12T14:39:00.000-08:00

In my last post I maximize indeed something of shoulder rotation and minimize Armrotation drivel. These thoughts Iwould like to continue on, because I found a book in a very good side and mmn appropriate to do so. The lesson is "back to the goal" of golf swing thoughts of Kölbingen and Jordan. I would like to briefly summarize the lesson here,as it eliminates many swing problems directly.
Quote swing thoughts of Alexander and Andrew Jordan Kölbingen BLV 2009 Page 70: "[...] While can be studiedwith top players, without exception, the movement of her right side down, it's "plane down" at the mere mortalshowever, so one thing: Only few centimeters of the right shoulder before she goes down> around it 'and turned the widely lamented Slice is an almost inevitable consequence. [...] Hit the ball with the feeling that the back still hasthe goal! the swing back into position, put everything in now to turn away from the target during the preswing back.automatically, must now take up the right shoulder to the desired way down. It [...] This is only a counterfactualnotion. necessarily even the upper body until the moment of impact again subjected to a rotational movement, butas an aid to the Vorschwungstart that may not matter much more important is:... the back turn to the target andremain in this upper body position during preswing as long as possible [.. .] thought this momentum is very efficientand solves a host of swing problems. "

Enclosed is a picture from this book. I hope the authors cut off my head not - actually I am doing just advertising forthe work that is really well!

Since then, I follow this idea, I bring a lot more real to lag the ball and Hitt simply constant. Try it!
Tomorrow it's now first on a visit to one of the top places in Münster, the golf club Wilkinghege. A beautiful parkland course. We will play four of a Chicago-Scramble. I hope this is not too expensive with the *- Handicap aboardschooners fg * but yes, we go through the hole after 6 pairings.
Square test and photos to follow ...
hit it hard - so long,

Check your divot!

2011-12-12T14:35:00.000-08:00

Hi.
After I while working on my swing recently did not advance came, I then took the help of pros to complete. Correct I had already setup and grip as previously reported with the help of video analysis, which can also be OK, according to the pros (nice!), so that he could respond directly to my swing plane. Determined, he also has that I like the waythe majority of golfers during downswing from the outside to come inside and because of this very high ballsproduce more or less large slice. Therefore, he asked me in the first lesson the task to beat a PushHook andPullSlice, in order to compare then with the question: What should each club face, shoulders, and swing planedifferently.
Well I've finally managed to hit 7-iron with more or less constant, the draws and will now continue to pursue. I try to accomplish this with a slightly closed state to the finish line, closed shoulder plane, slightly closed club face and a slightly flatter swing plane, which leads to a divot pointing from inside to outside. To illustrate, I found the followingsketch of the individual trajectories:

The picture is pretty self explanatory. Anyone who wants to deal with the matter more precisely, will find advice
The motivation is primarily that automatically draws are longer than my good old slice also affectionately called "push fades" called;)
So I am to my goal of playing at the end of the season with a 7 iron 140 meters constant schonmal come much closer.

The V1 Golf app for video analytics

2011-12-12T14:32:00.000-08:00

Hi, in the last few days I have time just for fun and my golf swing included Züst even tried to identify the problems,then later the video posted in various golf forums to get some help from avoidable pros. I must say this version of the quasi-autunomen training pleases me very well, it can only recommend to anyone and will use it in the future.
When working with the videos I came across a very useful smartphone app:

With V1 GolfApp (free) to record his swing, etc. Draw lines in the video, compare with the famous golfer swingsand most important: they can directly upload them online and comment on work of Pros & leave.
But all in all, you should not with the individual lines and angles to be small-eyed, because writing as was Montesham Blum in his blog (incidentally one of my favorite golf blogs), it is important first and foremost, to find its ownmomentum, and the videos intended primarily to help the feel, as he calls it improve. It is therefore important to consolidate with the help of videos right and wrong to throw overboard. So you automatically get close to the optimum.

About me

2011-12-12T14:23:00.000-08:00

Hello to all. I'm new at the "All-Square" and I have advanced to the diligent writer now.My name is Torsten, I am 28 years old and studying to become a teacher in Muenster. I am come to golf almost exactly two years ago when I attended a high school sports and golf course is packed directly from the addiction.So now this is my third summer golf, the first I've spent on short courses, at the end of the year to complete the course qualification. In the second summer, I'm about occurred mid-year in the golf club surge Westerwinkel and have first the first 3 months, about 2-5 times played the week (highly addicted obv.)) Then towards the end of the year, HCP 26, To achieve second Incentive was among other things, a handicap bet with my roommate. Since we are both started playing golf together and are joined together in the club, is offered this bet: it was a matter for 31.10. HCP 2009, the lower reach. Fortunately I was able to just under (26.2 to 28.5) for me to decide.Unfortunately, he has this year professionally (has just made independently) to do so much, that there is no time for golf.2010 began for me in not so great. I've played four tournaments and me each worse, or even be able to buffer.Somehow I missed after the long winter break the routine on the ball, some holes were indeed very good but I made too many mistakes made by a sub-dubbing impossible. For me there is no question that one can achieve without hard training in golf almost nothing. For this I have also read recently an interesting report on golf.de: 300 balls every dayQuite so seriously, I'll take it not as a hobby golfer of course but I think it's quite interesting and you should have it reads.Finally, what may not be missing "in the Bag" is how the saying goes:Nike SQ 460 2 regular economic Sasquatsch 13 °Taylor Made R7 5 wood 18 ° regularHelluva 22 ° hybrid rescue club regularCallaway X14 Iron Set 3-S regular graphite +1.5 "& 2 ° upMasters' cheap-putter "design in Ping Karsten (to be replaced soon - I'll try straight various types)That's it for now from me, keep your fingers crossed that I'm going to play again soon handicap;)Regardscaptainho0k
