If you’re an avid golfer, you know there’s no stopping technology and engineering in developing the latest in golf equipments. Golfers will seek out any new technology that can help them shave strokes from their golf score and improve their handicap. Shooting out of the rough is one of the challenges golfers’ faces that can dramatically improve, or devastate, a player’s golf game.

The material engineers, technicians and golf scientists at ProTouch golf have come up with an amazing advance in golf equipments, the ProTouch Wedge. For less than $100, the 56 degree and 60 degree wedges are available to smash through the stroke barrier that’s been keeping you from your best game. Both pieces of these equipments will cost you less than $150.

If you were worried about tweaking your stance and distorting your golf swing in the rough or in a bunker, because you were using equipment that was designed before 1940, this company takes the equipment technology leap straight into the 21st century. It features patented Sole Channel technology. The Sole Channel technology has little or no resistance when your club contacts the ball. Most wedges stall at this point, potentially throwing the ball off course, and you know about what happens after that.

Its Sole Channel technology creates channels that allow grass, soil, sand and air to travel through the club, enabling its surface to smoothly glide under the ball. It is a piece of modern golf equipment that allows you to maintain your proper stance and swing even in rough environments. This is unheard of in golf clubs and wedges of the past.

It is your short game’s secret weapon, and it’s affordable too. With its advantage in golf, you won’t be in danger of shanking or doffing your ball in the rough. Think about the strokes this equipmentwill take off your score right away! The majority of golfers who’ve already used the ProTouch Wedge say this affordable piece of golf club saved those about ten strokes per round. Engineering design, material and knowledge of how real people play golf has improved the ProTouch Wedge to give you the extra advantage when shooting from bunkers, in sand and out of the rough – even in the roughest golf course circumstances and situations.

A Stable Right Knee In Your Backswing For More Power

October 16th, 2011 by admin No comments »

Golfers yearn for better consistency and power, and yet the very overlooked right knee in your backswing can make or break you hitting solid golf shots.

Most amateurs have too much “wasted motion” in their swings, which causes many faults. This results in fat shots, thin, topped, off the toe, and even the dreaded shank, which can cause golfers to anguish in their game for years.

One area to really focus on is the right knee. Especially in the early stages of your takeaway and backswing. The correct technique is to keep it in the exact same spot throughout your entire first phase of the swing, but I can assure you most golfers don’t.

It is very unnatural to restrict the movement of this knee, but critical to having a stable base and avoiding a lateral slide (sway) off the ball. You see…your lower body is the foundation to your golf swing. Its what enables you to swing at up to 85+ mph without falling over. It also provides a ton of power, as you can use ground forces to your advantage.

So what’s the correct motion of your backswing?

You must rotate “into your right leg”, so the weight is on the inside of your right foot, which prevents you from getting outside the foot and moving off the ball. It is very natural to rotate into your hip on the backswing, but just make sure the knee doesn’t rotate also.

In fact, I want you to picture your right knee cap staying literally fixed in place as you make your backswing. Start off making smaller swing (pitch shots) to see if you can do this. Once you can hit these shots, start making a slightly bigger swing.

Early on…you’ll reach a point where you start swaying, then you need to stop, go back to a slightly shorter swing, until you are ready to make a bigger one.

A drill you can do is stick a golf shaft or training stick into the ground outside your right leg at your address position. The stick should have an inward angle to it. If you rotate back properly, you will not bump into the stick, but merely rotate to the inside of it with your right hip. Just make sure the knee doesn’t rotate too.

I hope you now understand how critical this little fault is, and the bigger picture of all the mishits that are caused by it.
