Move Your Head by Paul Wilson I still remember years ago when I first started to play golf, the tip you heard the most was keep your head still. My father used to say it to me at least 50 times a round. He thought he was doing me a favor, when really, he should have been telling me to do the exact opposite. He should have been saying move your head a little on the way back. Why move your head as you take the club back? You want to move your head because in order to swing in a circular motion you need an axis to swing around. ... Titanium 101… There is a Difference by Thomas Erwin Titanium has taken the world of golf by storm. Manufacturers of some of the world’s top golf clubheads have chosen to use titanium as their chief ingredient in assembling space age, state-of-the-art components. But why is this? There are many materials as strong if not stronger than titanium. So why is titanium the material of choice?

Barone, Drexel and Harris by Aron Wallad My life was always about playing ball, mostly baseball as I grew up. Therefore, I was always at the playground on Chancellor Avenue.

Baseball at Untermann Field and softball on the blacktop. Basketball games, and volley ball games were always being played. Mr Barone, Mr Drexel and Mr Harris oversaw the games that were played. S ... The Swing Plane by Paul Wilson Throughout the years, the swing plane has always been one of the most difficult things to understand. Hopefully, I can simplify this difficult subject so you can achieve the proper swing plane in your golf swing. I like to use the image of a weight swinging on a piece of string to illustrate the swing plane. What would happen if you picked up a weight on a piece of string and started to twirl it? Assuming your hand was on a 45 degree angle in front of you and not tilted left or right, the weight ... Unusual Baseball Statistics by Aron Wallad The ezine for baseball lovers...

Horse Training: Who's Way Is The Right Way? by Andy Curry The more I listen to others, read books on the subject, look at different articles, and watch and listen to tapes, the more I discover how different people claim their methods of horse training are the correct ones. I often find one trainer will adamantly oppose a technique where another will adamantly swear by its effectiveness. Even more interesting, each has his or her own reasons why. On one hand, I find it fascinating that trainers think their way is truly the correct way. On the other hand ... Trico Time by Cameron Larsen Ahh, yes. Trico time, the time of year accomplished fly fisherman throw down their rods in disgust. Take up the golf clubs, repaint the house, design the ninth wonder of the world.

Forming A Paintball Team by Tim Bach The majority of paintball games and tournaments are played in teams. If you take the time to build a top-notch team, your chances of winning games and tournaments are much greater. Keep in mind that in many tournaments, the teams are formed right before the game starts. This does not allow you the opportunity to hand pick your team members. This makes it necessary to have the ability to work together with complete strangers, and to assess strengths and weaknesses in those strangers quickly. Whe ... Horse Training For Napping Horses by Andy Curry If you ever rode a horse that would stop and refuse to go forward then you would know how absolutely annoying it is. Why do they stop? Because that's their reaction to a worrisome or unpleasant situation.

Cohn The question you need to ask yourself is this: Am I performing up to my capability? I’m sure you know some fellow athletes who have “great talent” or physical skills, but haven’t played up to their potential. One of the myths athletes buy into is that you first must develop “perfect” technique or knowledge about ones sport before you can work on the so-called mental game. But, from my perspective, you cannot separate the mental from the physical when it comes to motor skills. Decisions, thoughts ...

Horse Training Voice Commands by Andy Curry To the uninitiated, voice commands for the horse are nothing more than words. But to the horse they are only sounds. Obviously, horses cannot speak our language. Since they cannot speak our language we should think through what we say to them when we want certain responses from them. Take the word whoa for instance. I have no doubt this is the most abused word in the human/horse language. When the rider says whoa then the horse should know to stop. But the problem is this. Often the word whoa i ... How A Simple Golf Stretch Can Add 20 Yards To Your Drives by Mike Pedersen To quickly improve your golf, stretch your golf muscles regularly!

For instance, when you're training a horse to do something, you don't want to drill him with it so much that he becomes sour on it and unwilling to do it next time. The trick is to get him doing what you ask, then asking him to do it a few more times, then stop asking. You can ask him to do it more for you the next day but you should stop asking for too much.
