Have you been trying to improve your golf swing but to no avail? Just like what most of the greatest players have said Patriots Tom Brady Jersey , "A golf swing is like a fingerprint, no two are alike."
If you have been watching some of the world's best players and if you have read the biographies or golf instruction books of some of golf's legendary players and instructors, you will notice each has a style of their own.
One of the best players to have ever played the game was Ben Hogan. Having won more than 60 professional tournaments in his career including all of golf's four major tournaments Patriots Julian Edelman Jersey , you would not believe he had a golf swing problem which is known to golfers as "hooking."
Hooking is when the golf ball tends to veer towards the left side of the fairway. Hogan, who is actually left handed as he has stated in one of his books, played with his right hand and used a strong grip Wholesale Jake Bailey Jersey , this was theorized as the reason why he suffered from hooking the ball.
To solve this problem, Hogan developed a swing which would be known as "The Secret". Revealed in several magazines some years back and which were based on observations done while Hogan was actually playing, the ball striker's swing consisted of using a slightly weaker grip Wholesale Hjalte Froholdt Jersey , opening the clubface during the takeaway using the wrists and then using his right knee as a trigger to initiate the downswing. This swing is now known the world over as the Hogan Fade.
The golfer who instilled the importance of practicing has written two golf instruction books, Power Golf and Five Lessons, the legendary golfer talks about the basic essentials of having a consistent and good golf swing. In the book the golfer also known as "The Hawk" explains the importance of how to hold the club the right way Wholesale Yodny Cajuste Jersey , how to address the ball correctly and how to swing the club from the takeaway to the follow through. You can also now catch his golf instruction online, by typing Ben Hogan's Timeless Tips or Ben Hogan swing keys.
Golfing equipment also play an important role in playing good golf. Over the years a lot of modifications have been developed in terms of golf clubs, putters Wholesale Damien Harris Jersey , golf balls and other golf training aids.
Unlike before where golfers could only check their swing if they took a video of themselves hitting the ball, advance technology has made it possible to analyze a golfer's swing inch by inch. In this way a golfer's bad habit could be easily corrected by providing the appropriate golf training aids and golfing equipment.
From putting green to golf swing trainers to practice nets for the garage and a whole lot more to choose from, you can be sure your golf game would improve tremendously if you keep using these devices consistently.
Take it from Ben Hogan the golfer who has been tagged by his peers as the guy who gave the word "practice" a whole new meaning since he was known to have trained the most among all of them during their time.
Practice really does make it perfect!
Like most fishermen my age I originally learned about spinnerbait fishing for largemouth bass with my Dad. My class room was the back of an aluminum rental boat drifting the brush flats and rocky points of Irvine Lake in Orange County and Lake Cachuma in Santa Barbara Wholesale Chase Winovich Jersey , CA. Both lakes were renowned southern California bass fisheries in the 1960's and 70's. Later I refined my techniques from the business end of a Nitro bass boat fishing team tournaments in the waters of the mid west for Smallmouth bass and Muskie.
In the last 30 years I have managed to refined my spinnerbait technique quite a bit. I now do most of my fishing from my kayak or a float tube but the target fish is still a bass albeit a distant saltwater cousin, the Spotted Bay Bass. The proving grounds are now Newport Harbor, the LA Breakwall and Mission Bay Wholesale Joejuan Williams Jersey , San Diego. Most of the large harbors of Southern California's coast are filled with hungry spotted bass or sand bass that are just waiting to try this tasty treat.
Keep your tackle choices simple
I fish a 7' IM7 graphite baitcasting rod from Infinity Fishing Products, nothing fancy $49.95 retail. The rod is rated 8-15# test and has a 11" cork butt with a trigger grip and 4" cork fore grip. It's built with 1 foot Fugi SIC guides. I use an inexpensive Daiwa, low profile baitcasting reel. Basically the same setup you would use to throw spinnerbaits for largemouth bass with maybe slightly heavier line.
Check your line and Re-Tie your spinnerbaits often! I can not stress this enough. At $6 a pop for quality saltwater spinnerbaits one mistake is to many.
For bait colors, I choose the basics. In most cases it's a chartwhite 12oz. with a small gold colorado and a #5 willow or indianawillow blade combo. I also carry natural Shad for clear water and a Fire Tiger color for stained water and overcast days. Blackred and Purpleblue are good night colors. When fishing the bays the average casting distance is short so I find the 12 oz. works in most all situations but I do carry a few 34oz. just in case the current is faster and a few 1 oz. models for fishing deep structure.
