Hey, I see you're from Bend. I graduated from Redmond in '97.

What course do you ususally play out there?

I have read the golfing machine a bunch, still working on it, and one day I will get certified. My dad is a TGM nut, he lives on Royal Oaks Country Club in Vancouver Wa so if you are ever up in that area its a great track. The Korea thing is a real possibility and have a good contact over there who is actually bringing his students down to San Diego this winter for two months and im gonna get involved then. All I do is read, go watch teachers teach, so thanks for the help and the advice. Your a great teacher from what I have heard from David and from my Dad. He is on this and about every other golf site out there and now I am to...

Hey Martin my name is Jack Crosley I work at the Vintage Club and work for D Woods and actually met you last year when you came out. The guy in the Pick apart this swing thread is actually me and I really dont want anyone on this site to know it. I do want to change some things with my swing which is why I have posted it here and golfwrx.com. Teaching is my dream, I love to do it, and I may be moving to Korea to teach the young Korean players over there which Is why I want to make my swing look a little or a lot better to have a little bit more credibility with my students. I still want an athletic swing but with fewer moving parts and posted this swing on here and golfwrx to get some expert opinions on where to start. Hope you had a good summer up in Bend, talk to you soon.

I know what you mean! Loving the Tour Strikers :-) Speak to you when you have some time. May phone you some time next week. Let me know when is a good time. Don't forget to add at least 6 hours onto the time, hee, hee

Hi Bradley,

I havn't read it yet! Looking forward to it. I'm sorry, I didn't know that your screen name was "BEGOLFPRO"

I've been buried at work and home, so I haven't reviewed your video yet. I will soon. Cheers.

Hi Martin,

Bradley here :-) What do you think of Fred Tuxen's "reserved" view of ball position in the new Trackman Newsletter...

However, if you add the effect of moving the ball backwards in
your stance progressively with the shorter club, it is possible to
counter balance this so you can end up with the same horizontal
swing plane (aiming) for all your irons! Other than that, ball posi-
tion is very much a teaching philosophy in which I will not take a
strong position - but I can analyze the data! Some teachers want to
keep the same ball position throughout the set while others speak
for moving the ball progressively towards the right foot. Analyzing
the data I would probably tend towards the idea of moving the ball
backwards, since this could enable your setup to be the same for
all irons and hybrids.

cmartin,

Ive found this forum last summer, it has helped me tremendously. It took sometime and a whole lot of failure, but ive finally gotten to a point I have finally gotten to the point I can golf w/out flipping the club. I have not validated it yet (live in MN) were just getting going here, but Ive really only had range time. I had serious break thru last Nov. really the last week of golf in Mn. So, im going to do my best to keep this short. Im 16 handicapp, and Im very encouraged that my new found swing is going to put big dent in that. Anyway, thru my progression one of the feelings ive come to know is that of hitting the ball w/ the top of the clubface. I realize this isnt happening but its a feel i get of having the handle where its supposed to be and not behind the clubhead. Then I came across your product on, and thought OH MAN THATS IT!! HOLY MOLEY THIS GUYS GOT IT!! IT really validated things for me. REading your posts and seeing your product made my day to say the least even though ive never tried it. Im very sure if I wouldve tried that last summer it probably wouldve save me a serious amount of time and effort and $ along w/ repeated failure. I had lessons from TGM instructor up here intro'd me to TGM and this site etc. Only, couldnt fix me. Honestly I dont know if he saw my swing fault. So I back booking more lessons and beat this on my own after trial and error and this site.....Now, the point I want to get to is about my fathers swing. He struggles w/ the flip as did I...that along w/ over the top move. Do you think this could improve his progression? Id love to save him the time. Thanks for your time, let me know what you think!!

Martin,

Hope you are doing well after getting back from the Show. If you stay in Oregon through the winter I am sure it was a shock getting back to the winter after Orlando!

I am a fellow PGA Member currently working at a private club in New Jersey and have been doing a lot of teaching here (more than in years past) and am using my off months to "learn" more to make me a better instructor. I could go on about how I got to this forum but lets just say that I purchased the Stack and Tilt DVD and liked the info but thought it was limited and maybe "hard" to teach or even do myself. I know they were Golfing Machine guys so looked into that and got that book from Ben Doyle. So further research led me to Manzella and I really like how he can explain so much of this information.

I am on a quest to get swing aids to help "train" these ideas better and your aid seems really beneficial for the golfer to get the idea of where they should be at impact. I noticed on your website that you have a PUD price for PGA Members so I am interested in that and also as the spring rolls and I get some students working on it I may be able to sell a few as well to my students, so wondering if you are wholesaling them or if I would refer them to the website etc.

Hope the "Striker" works out great for you. BTW do you have any other swing trainers that you prefer?

Flippin awesome! All the "gurus" made it by the booth and picked up a Tour Striker. I was likely because my wife was at the booth and not I.

I will be coming out with the Pro model soon. I'm sending one your way!

Thanks for all the help Dale.

How did the show go ?
