Two Piece Balls

Dear Greg,
one of the old boy,s down at the club told me the other day that if you place a two piece ball on the tee with the small writing "ie the join" going from left to right, at impact you should hit the join and this will make the ball fly a lot straighter. Is there any truth in this or is it just rubbish?

Regards
David

Rubbish. But there is always truths to any lie. If you think it will fly straighter, you will put you mind in a positive mode and this could have positive affects.

I always say to my students on a playing lesson, "Never, ever, ever think about what could happen to your ball. Always, always always know what will happen."

If you have water or o.b. on the left, aim right and know it will go there. Don't ever say or think before you hit that, "I don't wan't to go left...don't go left, you can't go left." Always think positivly and you focus those thoughts into that action. You can't focus on not doing negative.

The line on a ball is the same way. If you are convinced that that will make the ball go where you want it to go, then it will. It's that simple.

Tuppy-G,

I am a straight hitter. I can work the ball when I need to bit my ball flight is straight 99% of the time. A few years ago I seen a ball spinner on ebay and bought one. I like new golf gagets. I originally seen it on the Golf Channel, Dave Pelz show. It does work, not only for putting and irons but for drives also. Depending on the ball and how much off balance it is the difference could be 8 -10 yards off the center line. I have seen some test data on the internet to confirm what my test was. Once you spin some balls and see how it works you can pick out your long distance balls. You will also pick up a little distance.

Keep it in the short grass,
