Watch a golf swing, and even if you’re a complete newbie golfer who has never even touched a club, you’ll probably think, “Not that hard, right?” And while it’s true that the essential motion of the golf swing is relatively simple, the details are nuanced, and even a slight, imperceptible change can make a big …
I went to the Champions Tour tournament at the Newport Country Club this weekend and was struck by two things about the way that the pros swing. There is a feeling that they focus on, above all other things, the impact position. There is no wasted motion. And they don’t try to muscle the ball. …
I recently spent some time checking out what others are saying on the internet about curing a slice. The search “cure a slice” on Google produces a number of video results, but also reveals this rather encyclopedic post at perfectgolfswingreview.net that, although it appears on a website that looks like it hasn’t been updated since …
At Pause-N-Throw, there’s nothing we love more than hearing back from our customers. We were recently contacted by a gentleman (whose name we will leave out for the sake of anonymity) who initially had a complaint about a loose joint between the thumb and armpiece. We got back to him right away, offering to replace …
I played golf with Walter “Smiley” Jones, a friend and student of long-hitter Mike Austin, and as I watched him swing it was clear he was hitting “out” on the ball. He wasn’t hitting the ball down the line, he was swinging as if he was hitting the ball to right field. This connected with …
Recently I was playing a new, heavily wooded course. Myself and two golfing pals were put in with a newish golfer, who was well off enough to afford a nice set of Callaways, but didn’t yet know what to do with them. On a course where every fairway was lined with a formidable forest thick …
The swing plane is one of the most important parts of golf, and one of the most difficult things to visualize. We here at Pause-N-Throw know the importance of visualizing the swing plane in order to cure a slice or hook, give yourself more distance, and play all around better golf. Here are a couple …
Recently, President Obama made headlines for playing golf with Tiger Woods, and while he took a lot of heat for it in the press (the press corps was upset about the fact that they weren’t allowed in to take photos), Tiger himself was pleased with the president’s playing, especially his short game. He then added, …
So it’s fair to assume that Wii Golf, a video game featuring stick figure characters made six years ago, won’t exactly be able to convincingly replicate the experience of swinging a golf club. But what about the most up-to-date, photo realistic, physics team tested video game which sets out to give you the most true-to-life …
When Nintendo first released the Wii in 2007, one of the first games to be included was Wii Sports, which included golf as one of the playable sports. The innovative new controller made swinging in the game much more similar to the motion made during an actual round of golf. Nonetheless there were many things …
