and if my suggestions don’t work, sorry man, im learning too.

No worries. Wouldn’t have asked if I already knew what I was doing wrong.

How are they adjusted?

Local golf store that customizes clubs analyzed my swing and impact points and made the adjustments, don’t recall the specifics other than 1.5 degrees whichever way they had to adjust. Only club I still struggle with is driver.

My full turn is about a 2/3 backwsing for most people. Any further back and I’m in pain.

Ask Phil. If you saw his swing mirrored, you’d puke. Early extension, bad shoulder turn, crazy hand movements. When his timing is right-watch out. If not, well, you see it a lot. The 2 way miss. If he wasn’t the most creative wedge player of the last 20 years he’d have been gone long ago.

to expound on that, when phil dials it back and doesn’t overturn his shoulders, he’s just as long as when he takes it WAY back and in more control. robert garrigus is as long as anyone out there and he doesn’t have that crazy shoulder turn…the proper sequencing is more important than getting an arbitrary shoulder turn that’s a faux-shoulder turn to begin with.

best of luck brother…and if my suggestions don’t work, sorry man, im learning too.

Golfercraig, never, ever sell that putter. I’m big on collectibles, and something like that needs a permanent home.

never will. Gonna be a family heirloom.

I bought that copper for 400 bucks from a guy who got ti from a tour pro’s teacher. We weren’t sure if it was authentic. there are a few tell-tale signs of “aftermarket” on it, but the guy who sold it is VERY well-known. I bought it and sent it in. When it came back “A” I offered to sell it back to the guy, but he said he was happy with 400 bucks because he didn’t think it was authentic either. Needless to say, I sent him a nice XMAS present that year. I had a 8k offer for it about 3 years ago. Probably should have sold it, but I love it so much. It’ll be my son Hogan’s putter one day.

my clubs are all adjusted to make up for it since I can’t physically change my swing.

How are they adjusted? I’m assuming they are just upright? Full shoulder turn just means turn as far as YOUR shoulders can turn. As far as you can with left arm straight. Go no farther.If you try to go to a “full turn” but can’t, all you are doing is adding moving parts to a swing that can’t be replicated. If your timing is perfect–it’s fine. If not, it goes both ways. Ask Phil. If you saw his swing mirrored, you’d puke. Early extension, bad shoulder turn, crazy hand movements. When his timing is right-watch out. If not, well, you see it a lot. The 2 way miss. If he wasn’t the most creative wedge player of the last 20 years he’d have been gone long ago.

/should queue to 1:16

spend 45 bucks on a lesson. Just 1. And get in shape if you aren’t.

Just purchased a 1 hour lesson. I’m not as fit as I used to be, but I jog and/or bike 4 days a week and do light weight training.

you’re just coming down over the top with an outside to inside clubpath.

Old should injury forces my swing outside in. Shoulder just doesn’t rotate the way it should. my clubs are all adjusted to make up for it since I can’t physically change my swing.

Spence–encyclopedia texarkana is a great read. I’ll email it to you if you don’t have it. Slicefixer has some GREAT thoughts. If nothing else–use his grip.

could you email it? slicefixer’s got a really nice method…ive been using a modified version of his 9-3 drill with some nice results the past 6 mos or so.

That is gonna cause problems unless he’s flat.

getting a little more flat’s probably not a bad thing though…i like that dropping that foot back encourages the right path and then, the more you practice it, the more you can “zero it out” for lack of a better term.

Starts down the target line and leaks right late.

so what that’s telling me is that your clubface is in the right spot, you’re just coming down over the top with an outside to inside clubpath.

by taking your stance with your shoulders down the line, but dropping that back foot back like in the pic i linked to above, that’ll encourage a more inside-to-out path. but honestly, the best method for curing a slice is to take a few swings every day with a weighted club…chances are good you need a little more core strength to really fire your hips while creating that tension against your torso. shown well in the first example in this video.

how are you setting up? use this for a guide to setting up…

That is gonna cause problems unless he’s flat.

Smallie–spend 45 bucks on a lesson. Just 1. And get in shape if you aren’t. If a guy comes to me in good physical condition, I can have him hitting it straight in 20 minutes. If not–then who the hell knows…

Yep. Although I did sell a mid-90′s twisty neck earlier this year for 14K. Got it for 200 BIN on eBay in 2003. A former Fresno State player listed it and 1 more, and I bought them both within seconds of them being posted at 2am. Sold one immediately after receiving them to a collector in Japan I know for 9k. On the old Cameron Fan yahoo group everyone was wondering who bought them the next day. I said nothing until I had them, and then the offers started rolling in. paid for a 2 wekk trip to Scotlans, where we played only rotation courses and Western Gailes (a friend of mine was the captain there, and we played for free)

Good lord, thats a story and a half!

GC – any chance you can take a picture of the copper newport at some point? I would love to see the patina on that thing.

You bet. It’s beautiful…

Not to mention, people are holding on to the older stuff, not to mention the rare and garage-built ones.
