Proper Knee Bend

Thanks Robert.

Coach

Are you still looking for road kill? We have plenty out here now that spring has arrived. There are squirrels, possum, deer, and even the occasional skunk.

Come on down and take all you want,

Dick

 Dear Surge, I've been using your swing method for the past year and has really helped my game. Although I'm having difficulty getting my fairway woods off the ground. For the most part my irons from 7 through wedge have really improved getting them airborne and on line, but I usually top my fairway woods, even to a point where I have hit it directly in the ground. My long irons I hit often thin. I can't seem to find the solution. Please send any tips that I may try for my fairway woods and long irons. Thank you LTDear Surge, I've been using your swing method for the past year and has really helped my game. Although I'm having difficulty getting my fairway woods off the ground.

It's too late. I'd have to go to the grocery store on the way home and I don't have time. You can all come over anyway. I'll just pick something up at a taco stand.

Deep divots down here in Key West, where this is only about 1/4" or less of dirt under the grass, then under that it is hard coral is almost impossilbe for those with swing speeds less than 90mph....... and it is really jarring to the arm and elbows too!

We just thought you were spamming us.

True Doc, X is not a fit for me. But I have to say I liked the feel and the"sound" of that KZG head. 355cc does not really seem much smaller than a 460. Still plenty big. Anyway nice club.

Good Morning Janet,

I think that you have a crock on your hands. I just had a 13.5 * driver returned after installation of a new stiffer shaft. The change in shafts had the effect of changing the characteristics of the club significantly. It is now much lighter, and the launch angle was lowered by about 2*. Virtually a new club. I had absolutely no problem learning to hit the ball with it.

I had the same results learning to hit the ball when I had my irons cut down and the lie angles adjusted. Again, it was like hitting with totally different clubs, and I hit the ball cleanly with them right from the start.

Hit'em Long and Straight,

Bob

P.S. See you in August or September

Not me, Janet needed some for stew. I'm better off not knowing what's in
it. I judge by taste, it doesn't really matter what meat is used. I do like
deer though.

It is a small world. You left about the time I got here. I used to hang out with a bunch of Alabama people when I lived in Colorado. I think they all went back home, too.

I don't see Surge swinging at all in this video. Also, though, be sure that what you're seeing in other videos isn't rotation and lift, rather than wrist cock. The only time I've seen Surge show any active wrist action in videos is when he's demonstrating what not to do.

Jack

I want you to stay out of Surge's hotel room.

You are one sick puppy.

Dick

It is the message that counts in the daily videos, not the venue. As long as the message gets across to me the Surge could do the video from his garage as far as I am concerned.

Glad to help I think, hmm those damn chirping Crickets - I get that alot.

Amen Robert, Better golf is just a fit away. I know I've heard that somewhere before. Where was it??????????

So, how does one keep weight over the arches,
and still maintain light outward pressure of knees ?

(I feel the weight move to the outer foot the moment
the knees are set.)

.... an anatomical conundrum, indeed.....

SG

Thanks for the responses, guys. I figured as much, but my friend acts like such an authority on everything golf-related that I thought maybe, just maybe, there was something to it. Frankly, I couldn't see why you would want to pay big bucks for a club and wait months before you could hit it. Maybe that was just her excuse for not being able to hit her new driver any better than her old driver. Hmmm.

when u swing up are u swinging with arms, body , or both?

Coach

Just having diner, then the RBF

Tennesse hard pan has the same effect. THAT is why I learned to "nip it" off the turf with almost no divot many years ago.. MUCH easier on the wrists, elbows and shoulders. Also produces a higher softer landing shot.

Keep hitting them STRAIGTH and LONG

Amos

Jack

If we are all in agreement, then I would say we have an anonymous decision.

So if what you say is true, then according to my friend's six month timetable, that would be one swing every two months, right?

Cerveza

You are right there pal. After all you have already been through to this point, they could make you stand on your head for the last two days and you could laugh it off.

In just over 48 hours from right now, you will probably be on the course for that celebratory round.

We are all proud of you,
Dick

Steve

Good finish. I am going to have to start doing that, just to appease the blog police.

You know me, I am nothing if not politically correct.

So, I was standing at the # 1 tee today, washing my balls. The marshal came by and told me to stop that.

Dick

Put down the swatter and move away. We do not want any accidental discharges. Think of a fresh Root-beer Float instead.

Great point T!!!.....gets a bit silly, people flippin out because of Surge's video venue!!......

Just wondering, Is your friend a babe too. I'm trying to exercise my visual imagery. I hear it's a good mental exercise for golf.

Surge,

Been following you for over a year now. You have a great knack for breaking the game down into bite sized pieces and you've helped greatly.

Please tell me about "impact". I'm having some trouble spraying the ball to the right because my right hip is over rotating, causing me to come across the ball outside in.

Today on the driving range, with my notebook (great tip), I found that if I kept my right knee flexed at impact and my right heel on the ground, it helped me get through the shot inside out and kept me on the Ferris wheel. Is this correct, or am I making it up?

Thanks,

John D.

For Dick Lee: Nope, not from me. Very frustrating! But, when I reply directly to you guys on the blog (like I'm doing now), and don't go thru Disqus, everything is fine. Go figure! Wonder who I can ask for help - any ideas? R2

What part of my great state are you going to be in?

Arnie

The Surge Swing is not an "arm swing." When you do the Surge Swing right, the entire body is involved. Have you purchased the video collection and the manual? They show you everything you need to know about the Surge Swing. These daily videos are really to refresh the regulars on what can go wrong from day to day.

Dick

Steve

One of my favorite movie lines is from True Grit. John Wayne is sitting on his horse across the meadow from all the bad guys. They ask him what he is going to do. He says something like "I mean to arrest all of you, take you back to Ft. Smith, see that you get a fair trial, and then a proper hanging."

Justice was a lot simpler back then.

Dick

Everybody sing!!!

Hey hey hey
Goodby!!!

Good luck to you Richard. Hope you figure out what it is your looking for. We Surgites are proud to have found this swing and the companionship that Surge has gathered here.

Kev

Hi TMedley,
Glad to read that you finally got your fitting in. THREE hours on the driving range? That was some fitting session. And I'm curious, what was your sticker shock number??
I've only asked for new irons, though I'm probably going to have to have new shafts put in the remainder, which also means new grips. They'll FEEL like new clubs, though..

Question on a totally different subject: I am totally frustrated with the RSS thing. I subscribed, and set the settings to update q 15 min, but I go back and and it hasn't updated since YESTERDAY. And somehow I found your post about the fitting, but looked at something else, came back, tried to find it in RSS search by author, and no results. WHAT is up?? I've taken to just hitting the subscribe via RSS button when I check out the dialy video.
I've tried deleting the subscription and re-subscribing, and it works for a time or two, and then back to the same old......Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks,
Tina

Ah, I see. Makes sense now.

A swing every two months might be pushing it.

My current driver of choice is a match of my brother-in-laws. I hit one shot, dead down the middle on a tight driving hole and just short of 300 yards. I purchased one and it consistently hits the ball into places that are fun to be.

Wow, Saturday. Lucky. My first-year boy has a final Monday, so I don't get to see him on Mother's Day. :(

Are you taking the July bar?

Amos: The nice thing about nipping the ball off the turf is that all the energy generated by the swing goes into the ball and not some of it going in the ground.

As Meatloaf would sing: "you took the words right outa my mouth"

I could've also added at the end that: when the "swing machine" (Iron Byron) golf swing f*@%ks your back up you will be well advised to seek out the Swing Surgeon to mend your ways and your poor attitude Dude!

Regards, Craig S

Meatloaf, yea, Hey Janet, that's another thing you can make in that crock you're not using. Man am I hungry, where the heck is Dick when you need him. Probably out hitting balls somewhere.

You may be applying too much outward pressure. I find my weight at setup is directly down through the center of my right foot. I think that's pretty much correct. After the bump and into the FUS, the weight does shift to the outside of the left foot, though.

Dick: Nope, it's coming from some 3rd party (the Troll??) Where's John Wayne when you really need him! R2
