There’s no doubt about it, golf is a mental game. As Sam Snead said, “85 percent of the game is played from the neck up.” And when the stakes are high, otherwise well-practiced solid golfers can sometimes totally fall apart. To golf well, you not only have to know the moves but also be able …
You know you’re in trouble when you land in a bunker that has a staircase! Like this one here, pictured above. With six foot vertical walls, you’d better pull your lob wedge for this one, or better yet, call a helicopter for an airlift. Seriously, if you do ever end up in a really deep …
At Pause-N-Throw, we like to talk about how curing a slice can help to avoid slipups and bad rounds. But, ironically, sometimes not being able to slice can really mess things up. Let’s look at on famous example, courtesy of this article. In the 2006 US open, Phil Mickelson found himself in a tough spot …
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 …

Practice swings: they can either help or hurt. Of course, good practice with the right swing – using effective training devices like the Pause-N-Throw – is the key to curing a slice, curing a hook, or boosting distance. But is it a good idea to do lots of practice swings right before you hit? I …
At Pause-N-Throw we pride ourselves on the fact that the main selling point of the Pause-N-Throw is that it works (but don’t take our word for it, see these testimonials!) Don’t forget, however, that with every Pause-N-Throwyou get a lot more than just the device itself. We include a nifty carrying case that lets you …
In golf, many people are interested in knowing what the longest drive is, but fewer people stop to think about the importance of accuracy.
