Since we've been talking quite a bit about professional club fitting, I thought Bill question was a good one to share.
Winter is quickly plowing down on us as colder temperatures, morning frost on the car and snow are positive reminders that for many of us golfers, the playing season is over. The big question, as Chuck asks below, is what can we do to be ready for next season?
One piece takeaway or two, asks Phil. His bigger question is how can he make a smooth backswing when he has to change direction in mid-stream in the back swing after lifting the club into the catcher's mitt. Let's take a stab at it.
Brad, in his question below, asks what bounce is on his wedges. Let's see if we can shed some light and help Brad and all of us on the importance of Bounce.

The first PPGS School had a number of students that had the same problem that I read in many blogs. Basically, it is that they are hitting their irons and hybrids better and the driver, but are loosing distance. They like the solid and straight but would like to get their distance back.
Yesterday, we discussed how 7 of the 8 students had poor to bad alignment and were aimed no less than 20 plus yards outside wide or closed to their target, to the right for righties and left for the lefties. Inside wide or open to the target would be aiming left of the target for right... more
