Mostly the left, but a little with the right, too. Saw something on golf channel and I'm trying it. Basically, you're trying to get the "V" between your thumb and fore-finger to point up towards your right shoulder with both hands.

The two rounds I've played with it - and only tried it beforehand on the range before the rounds - were pretty good. A lot more consistent. Straighter...It just feels "stronger" too...like I have more control of it.

Interesting. The vast majority seem to have grips that are too strong since they are trying to compensate for a slice. Not many that start out too weak.

I never slice it...I'm a left hander playing right-handed, so if I miss, it's a pull.

I guess I better get out and play Friday morning. Almost assured my course will be closed for several days after to drain and cut down some trees.

I support the cutting down of trees, better for air circulation and making my life easier.

I remember playing in Florida once when a tropical storm was rolling in, gusts were probably up to 50-60 mph. Tons of balls were falling out of the palm trees. So that's another nice side benefit.

Been watching some Youtube vids lately by a guy named Mike Malaska. Guy is a fantastic teacher. Probably the best explanation I've seen about what the club should feel like it's doing on the downswing. Highly recommend, really a light-bulb moment for me.

He's got a ton of great ones but here's one I found really helpful:

Interesting. Hope I get to a range and try some of that out. Have not had a "A-ha!" -moment in quite some time, those are great. Then again they often require effort heh.

I'm pro implants. Not necessarily for what they are, but what they stand for. They do a good job of saying 'hey, I'm here to party!', and that's what I like about 'em.

I would have only needed a uniboob here as the storm was way less than expected. Only minor tree loss on the course. Guessing it's gonna take a LONG TIME to drain so I "hope" I can hit the links by the weekend. I have a tournament a week from tomorrow I have to prepare for too.

Lift clean and cheat, we have winter rules up here, you just need hurricane rules.

Look at it this way, you can finally play the famous "island green" at sawgrass now.

Not only is the green smaller now but you have to swim to it while avoiding alligators.

The whole course got completely flooded during Matthew, if I remember correctly. This is a piece of cake.

First time with a club in my hand in over a week. In that time I think my handicap skyrocketed. It was a struggle on the range today. I'm playing tomorrow and Sunday before my tournament on Tuesday. If need be I guess I will HAVE to play Monday too.

Here is the tree we lost about 100 yards out from the first tee. Makes the visual of the tee shot waaaay easier.

I also heard we lost a big tree to the right of the 11th tee box. Can't say I'm sorry to see that one go.

Haven't bought mine yet. Will probably get it sometime this winter.

Going pretty well. Think I need to update my computer(it's probably 3 years old and doesn't run that well now) for JNPG to work well. Currently the graphics are super slow and delayed which I believe is all computer related. The chipping in JNPG seemed a little bit harder to gauge compared to just chipping balls in the SkyTrak software.

Overall I'm pretty impressed with it's apparent accuracy. Have had fun mostly just playing the closest to pin and Target games with family and friends.

Good deal. Chipping can take a little to get use to for sure. I use a 62* and even open that up sometimes. To get a better view of the green, hit F5 and then mouse roller up and use WASD to move around. Careful with the mouse, moving it will give you a headache quick...

Can also F2 for an overhead of green if far enough out and then from that view, F5 and W's get a fairly quick zoom'd-in overhead view.

In either case, once you click to aim, you are back to original view. Make sure your player is set to Amateur. This setting defines where you can click to aim (ie...overhead views and map)
