The inside appproach is on sale this week at K-Mart for 19.95. i bought mine there at the regular price of 29.95 a few months ago which is still not to bad. Has really helped make me a better ball striker.

Wow that's pretty steep for that thing.

I am thinking of starting golf. Someone told me that golf like any other sports is all about the mind.

True?

I found some of popular golf aids quite helpful. Sometimes they might seem pricy but they really help a lot. At least they help most of the people I know... great blog btw.

Ted,

Thanks for the comments. I opted for the Rifle 5.0 shafts because they are a little stiffer than the TT R300 shafts.

They work fine. A little higher ball flight due to the lower kickpoint. It works great for me because I have a naturally low ball-flight.

I bought a knockoff on Ebay for $15, aded some weight to the legs for stability (lead tape, etc.), and viola, it's the greatest teaching aid I've ever used. And I don't agree that it promotes a severely inside swing. You can swing almost dead on and not have a problem with it. What I like about it is it promotes a long slow takeway (need to stay under the long foam barrel), a slightly inside instinct, and will DEFINITELY alert you to coming over the top.

P.S. Nice blog. Tell us more about what the rifle shafts did for your Nike iron performance.

You are Grouchy because you cannot play good enough to enjoy a game of golf. :)

$80 is a bit much, I'd pay $40 for something like this.. $40 for saving me the trouble of having to build one myself... Not that I want one of these anyways but if I were did..

The insided approach is not for everybody. It's sad how we golfers will throw almost unlimited funds at things that pose as cure-alls. The inside approach teaches a severely inside swing, which won't help you if you get stuck coming from the inside. Also produced wild hooks for me, which I didn't need. I was not a true over the topper, so the inside approach was not really designed for my type of swing fault.

What about "Hookitis"

I haven't battled a slice ever since I started playing seriously. My natural ball flight is a draw, but being a former baseball player I tend to start pulling and hooking it. The only cure seems to be a super-slow swing and then I lose distance.

For me, as with most, it all starts on the tee. If I can't get off good consistently, the rest of my game eventually goes in the tank.

There is nothing more painful for me than playing the tips with 3 heavy hitters bombing 300-yarders while I'm hooking and my good shots are barely rolling 250.

If you go on eBay you can buy the plans for $5. With these plans and another $5 in materials from Home Depot (Some plans even have the part number), you can build your own. No video, but I don't think that matters

Rather than pay nearly $80 for that thing, I'd just as soon take apart a wire clothes hanger, bend it so that it looks like an "L", fashion one end with some foam and stick the other end in the ground. Voila. I'd have just about the same thing.
