Jeff Evans, inventor of Pure Ball Striker and Teaching Professional gives us a few updates from the PGA tour.

Wyndham Championship -Garrett Willis

Garrett started using the training device about 5 months ago and has had some good results. At the Wyndham Championship, we worked on some basic motion and total motion techniques. Later we reviewed some putting concepts.  Garrett has given me a testimonial on the PBS and after 3.5 hours of work on technique and motion I am both pleased for the opportunity and proud of Garrett's continuing improvement.  When the student is ready the teacher appears and the Pure Ball Striker has made this all possible.  Jeff

Join the Movement

If you are a golfer of any sort, you have your ups and downs. Good shots and bad, swing thoughts that sometimes work and tips and techniques that last one round and not into the next. Even the most highly skilled PGA pro's are often in search of last weeks "feel and mechanics".

Jeff Evans, Golf Professional and Pure Ball Striker inventor, has questions and answers.  He has no method, only ways to get to the golf truths based on science, mechanics and  the methods of many professional masters. He searches like you and me and he helps golfers improve. And most importantly, over time, they understand their swing and become closer to mastery of their own game.

So join the movement, bring your ideas, thoughts and experience to the Pure Ball Striker Movement, and help yourself to better golf.

Little Things do mean a LOT

In an effort to improve your golf swing, subtle actions can cause reactions. Poor posture, improper ball position,bad aiming and incorrect grip; all of those items affect your swing.  But mostly, these seeming little things affect your ability to direct the club face, shaft and club head in a manner that sends the ball where you want it to go.

If you are just trying to hit the range, none of the above matters. That is why many golfer's are good range players, but don't duplicate the efforts on the course. The course requires more precision, more directing of the ball to specific areas, via distance, direction and trajectory.

Does the image of the right wrist movement in the above drawing bring any golf concepts or imperatives to mind?

Stay tuned and we will explain!

 

Hitting Balls, or Directing Impact?

In an effort to improve, we probably have gone out and "hit balls; sometimes with success only to find that next time out, we can't duplicate or demonstrate the same consistency.

Professional Golfers, when "hitting balls", are directing their focus on controlling the club shaft, club face and club head. They are working on impact positions, aim and controlling the force applied to the ball. Ben Hogan was famous for his ball striking and was a master at controlling the forces of golf, down out and forward in his swing.

It may sound confusing, but when you control the club shaft, head and face you can start to control the ball.  Just hitting balls is sometimes fun, but often produces inconsistent results and frustration.  A worthy effort and a way to improve your ball striking control would be to understand and apply the basic forces of physics and golf dynamics. Besides, it's more fun to know where the ball is going!

The pure ball striker give you a sense of how  to control the club shaft, club face and club head, how to move you hands and how to direct a proper force into impact. Give it a try! Stop hitting balls and start controlling your impact.

Putting and the Pure Ball Striker

The Pure Ball Striker has many uses and can be attached to you putter allowing you to feel the club shaft and club head either move back and down the aiming line or path, or slightly inside to around your arc depending on the type of putter stroke you choose to use.

So, which method do you use and how do you activate each approach?

How do pressure points affect a swing?

Ben Hogan talked about pressure points in his book,The Five Fundamentals of Golf.  You will often see reference to pressure points in golf articles, especially when discussing the grip. So, what are pressure points, and how do they affect your golf swing.  And why, as a golfer should you care?

See questions and Jeff's responses in the comments selection below.

 

Controlling the Clubface!

No matter how you swing, stand, aim or move your body, you ultimately have to control the club shaft, club head and club face.

Jeff Evans, Golf Professional and creator of the Pure Ball Striker gives a tip on how to use the device to get the club face under control.

Club face control will determine both the flight and direction of the ball. Monitor if you can during practice sessions, or just swing a club without the ball. Look to see where you face is going back.  Is it open or closed to your target line?  Is it open or closed at the top of your swing? Is it open or closed coming down?  Grip, hand/forearm manipulation and improper body motion all affect club face.  

Try the Pure ball striker. Put it on your club and see and feel the motion of the club face. Once you determine if you are a open or closed ( shut) club face player, you will learn to monitor and control your club face for better shots. The key is learning which pattern is best and most suited for your swing.  I know I am bias, but the Pure Ball Striker helps with understanding and monitoring of Clubface issues.  Jeff
