Wyndham Clark, No. 4 in the Official World Golf Ranking, said he injured his back while lifting weights but hopes to compete in the Houston Open on Thursday.
It really sounds like an impossible task to swing in an arc to hit a ball straight at a target. Of course, that’s what you are trying to do with every golf swing. It’s the real reason why we have so many problems trying to hit our ball at a target.
The Golden Bear, Jack Nicklaus, used VISUALIZATION to hit his targets. He was making an imprint of his visualized shot on his brain. That memory controlled his swing direction and club face direction to create amazing shots. I suspect that it takes years of practice to achieve his skill level.
Understand the Science of Your Golf Swing
Your driver is your longest club, so the longer swing radius generates the most club head speed and distance but swing direction and face direction can generate the worst results. You need to understand what causes both of these “direction problems”.
Problems for Direction Control:
1/ Your left and right arm extend from the left and right sides of your shoulders. Your shoulders should initiate the start of your downswing and your leading shoulder ends up further from your ball at the point of impact than your trailing shoulder.
2/ At setup, your leading wrist is slightly bowed but at the point of impact you want you leading wrist to be flat (for drives) or slightly cupped (for irons).
Cause of Direction Control:
Hank Haney reminds us that we need to minimize angles to control the swing direction and club face direction. Unfortunately, your shoulders and wrists need to adjust during your swing to bring your club face to square at the point of impact.

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
Cold Plunging. This trendy fitness hack promises a lot of health benefits.
You’ve likely noticed cold plunging has become all the rage in the health and fitness world and golfers are no exception. Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Tiger Woods, among others, have taken, well, the plunge.
Hayes Weidman. A MyGolfSpy Forum leader, staff writer, golf and fitness fanatic who would do just about anything (like immerse himself in ice-cold water on a daily basis) if it means another yard gained on the course.
Let’s get this out of the way now: This is NOT an article that quotes academic studies or lays out a compelling scientific argument for why you should cold plunge. This is an article about one guy’s experience in buying and using an at-home ice bath. You’re going to need to fire up Google, do your homework and make your own decision. The sports medicine world isn’t exactly in full agreement on cold therapies.
The new line of Wilson Infinite putters isn’t dramatically different from the old line of Wilson Infinite putters.
And that, my faithful readers, isn’t a bad thing at all.
When Wilson introduced its Infinite putter line in 2015, the golf world responded with a collective yawn. But starting with the 2018 upgrades, Wilson Infinite putters have ranged from solid to, at times, outstanding performers in our Most Wanted testing. Add to that the fact they rarely topped $100 and, well, you had a winner all around.
The new lineup isn’t messing with a good thing. They’re still named after Chicago landmarks and neighborhoods and they still represent one hell of a value.
We can’t talk much about the new Wilson Infinite putters without discussing from whence they came. The original Wilson Infinites came in a steel-gray finish and an industrial, if not utilitarian, look with a kitchen sink’s worth of alignment lines on top. That’s a polite way of saying they weren’t what you’d call pretty.
To say TaylorMade is a popular iron brand would be a huge understatement. They continually produce high-performing irons for all golfers and have a broad range of options. From Tour players to beginners, TaylorMade has irons for that golfer. With consistent advancements in technology, they are often recognized as a market leader and a brand many golfers enjoy playing. Their iron line is extensive, even overwhelming, and that can lead to some confusion. So we are here to break down the current TaylorMade irons, model by model, to let you know which ones fit your game.
There is a trend among most larger manufacturers of making a family model that releases each year along with the drivers and fairways that share the same name. These models are usually aimed more towards the game-improvement category.
Then there are secondary family models that are released every 18 to 24 months. These usually fit into the player’s distance, player’s, Tour and super game-improvement categories.
TaylorMade follows this trend with their current Qi irons that were released with the Qi10 drivers and fairways and their P-Series irons that have a longer release cycle.
When talking about TaylorMade, there are always several technological discussion points that are key or worth noting. They have long tagged new technologies in their irons that help improve one area or another. Not all of them make it to the following model. However, some have and these are the ones we will highlight here.
