Imagine, just for a second that you are a golf swing instructor. And you have made arrangements to conduct an on course golf swing lesson with three of your good clients.
All three are in need of golf instruction and you are fully prepared to give them the works today.
It's a great day! You feel thankful that you have this opportunity to spend time out on the course.
That driving range stuff can really get old.
And here they come. Three wannabees. The good news is that they are best friends. And they get along with each other very well. So it should be a really good day. Right?
Well, let's see what they've got today. You think to yourself that you just wish they would get the grip right. And the setup. If they could do that it would sure make your life easier.
Your objective today is to compare the three with one another. To see if you can find some commonality in their respective swings. And then, perhaps, you can streamline a program for all three so that when they practice together they would have a clue what they are doing and even help each other to some degree or other.
So here's how it goes.
You are all on the first tee. Jake tees it up and rips it to the far right. That's interesting, he hit it so far right that it's in the driving range with about a million other white golf balls.
Charlie is next and hits a weak slider about 150 yards into the fairway. Ok he gets to at least hit the same ball again.
And last is Kent. He takes about an hour to get set up. He fidgets and fidgets. Grips and re-grips. And then hits a power house snap hook so far left that it actually went over the water into the lawn of one of the residences. So I guess Kent can hit it again if he can find a way to get over there.
This goes on and on for hole after hole. These guys are having a great time. They don't seem to really care much about where they are hitting the ball or what scores they are putting up. Except for maybe Kent who is mad as hell that he is hitting a snap hook on every shot.
I'm beginning to wonder what I'm doing here. It would be too bad to insert anything negative to their good time.
But they are paying so I might as well get into it. Wouldn't you ?
Here is what I see. All three hit the ball differently. Kent hits a snap hook, Charlie hits a weak slider and Jake hits huge slice.
The interesting thing to me is that their problems are exactly the same although their ball flights are entirely different.
You see Kent's snap hook comes from closed clubface and a swing path that is outside in or " over the top" and it is compounded by little to no weight shift from the right side to the left side.
Charlie has a similar problem, yet his ball flight is totally different. His weak slider is a result of an open clubface, also an over the top or outside in swing path, but his weight shift is backwards. He has a reverse weight shift. He goes to the front foot on the takeaway and then to the back foot on the downswing.
It's an ugly looking thing.
Jake is a powerful guy. He hits the ball very hard every time. It always goes left to right and it travels a great distance, to the right. Jake takes a mighty whack at it. His motion is hard to see because of the speed of the motion. But it is apparent that after he hits it the clubhead has stayed low and around his body in his finish. And the ball always goes left to right.
This indicates an over the top move and an outside in swing path. He has considerable weight on his back foot, although not as much as his playing partners. He still exhibits the symptoms of a poor weight shift and the classic over the top pattern.
All three of these guys have a knack of getting the ball close when chipping. I suppose it's because they get tons of practice since they are rarely on the green in regulation.
My conclusion to their individual swings and the fixes is that they all have the exact same troubles. Even though their ball flights are very different. This means that, generally, they can use the same fix to remedy the problems.
The one common problem is poor weight shift. This puts the golfer in a poor position to hit from the inside and so he is forced to throw the club outside the target line to inside in order to even hit the ball.
There is a difference between a reverse weight shift and no weight shift but not so much that the fix isn't the same. Sometimes a reverse weight shift is caused by the early spinning of the hips in the downswing.
But if we address the weight shift issue it will take care of that.
Ok. So our boys have a slice and a hook. They all have poor weight shifts. They all have an over the top swing paths. What's the fix?
A good weight shift will cure most of what ails them. A good inside swing path will too.
I can go to any practice range in America and see these swings all day long. It is the single most common swing problem in golf.
First move down? Bump your hips laterally and drop your right elbow to your right side.
Get rid of that weak grip and make it more neutral or a tad strong. Turn your right elbow toward your right hip at set up. ( try that)
Make sure you are set up square or slightly closed.
Lesson over.

How is your connection with your vehicle?
What else in your car or truck gives you more of a sense of your autos performance than the steering wheel, shift knob, and your pedals, these commonly overlooked accessories deserve more attention than they normally get. As our only connection to the auto, this is where you feel what is going on with your ride. So lets take a quick look at what we are all overlooking.
First lets take a look at the steering wheels the direct connection to the front tires and in some cases all four tires. Having a steering wheel that fits your grip and driving style is an important factor to consider while adding accessories to your ride. Leather, polyurethane, and rubber are just a few of the materials used in aftermarket driving wheels. Aluminum typically makes up their frame with the other materials used for grip and design features. Aggressive styling and quality materials are a must, don't settle for a cheapo china made product that you will only be disappointed with in the long run. If you are seriously considering a steering wheel shop around and find an affordable quality product that you can be proud of for years to come.
Next being the gear shifter knob the direct connection to your transmission and all your engines power. The shift knob needs to be comfortable to hold and easily gripped, but it also needs to add to your rides overall interiors appearance. After all would we even bother with all the accessories if nobody was ever going to see them. Shift knobs come in a variety of styles, colors, and materials. Being a simple way to customize your ride, with simple fast installation, the shifter is a very easy upgrade that is affordable as well. Deciding which to purchase is sometimes a difficult task, but at their affordable price you might get a few so you can switch them out depending on your mood.
Next lets look at the pedal pads one of the most important direct connections, how else could we control all those ponys under the hood. The pedals get more use than just about all other parts of your autos interior. Pedals are almost always forgotten when it comes to accessories for your car or truck. If your ride is a few years old then you can be sure that your pedals are getting worn out. Most OEM pedals are rubber which gives decent grip in dry conditions but get it wet and your shoes may slip. Many aftermarket pedals address this issue with raised areas that create extra grip when wet. We should all treat our feet and get a new set of pedals.
Most of the time when auto enthusiast think about steering wheels, shift knobs, and pedal pads they think of MOMO, Grant or maybe Sparco, but there is another choice, new to the US auto accessory market…SHUTT a high quality brand manufactured in Brazil and distributed by ShuttUSA.com here in the states. They have participated in the last few SEMA shows with great feedback from retailers as well as customers looking for the latest and greatest that the SEMA show has to offer. The people at SEMA even noticed their designs and gave them awards in design. The SHUTT products are very stylish targeting the race, tuner, and muscle car markets but that doesn't mean SHUTT forgot about those restoring cars and trucks, some of the designs work very well in restored vehicles. With SHUTT auto accessories retail pricing being 20% lower than the competitors similar products it makes it a viable choice for retailers and consumers.
The SHUTT brand items are all universal and very easy to install. For instance the shift knobs have a hole 17/32" in size which fits most vehicles, they attach by 3 hidden set screws, easily tightened with the supplied allen tool. The pedal pads can be mounted quickly with brackets or for an even more secure feel, drill and screw them to your original pedals. Now you might think that adding a pedal pad to your original pedal might bring your pedal closer or make it feel thicker but Shutt pedals are thin and go unnoticed after your first test drive. The steering wheels are a bit more involved as far as installation goes. While purchasing a steering wheel, you will also need a car specific adapter hub, Shutt USA suggest the NRG innovation adapter hubs for the SHUTT steering wheels but any 6 bolt hub will work. So take a look at what connects you to your ride and if it needs upgraded consider a new steering wheel, gear shifter knob, or steering wheel or other interior accessory and visit Shutt USA.

Does the shifter knob on a NV3500 5 speed tranny in my 2000 Dakota come off?
I was hoping the knob on my shifter can come off. As I want to replace it with a Hurst Pistol grip knob. Or will I have to take the whole shifter out and buy the whole set-up?
look under neath of the knob there should be a nut that you loosen that will allow you to screw the knob off and change it,good luck.

Having monster engines with 400 and 500 hp is all well and good, but when it takes the high side of $100 to fill the tank, well, there has to be an alternative.
