GURU TV – “The J and J Show: Biomechanics and Body Motion with Special Guest: Jason Helman

November 10, 2010

I was very flattered that Jason Helman, 2010 Ontario Section Teacher of the Year, contacted me and wanted to come on the “Guru TV” show. We had a great time talking about golf and teaching as we spent the afternoon together as he passed through on his way back to Canada. We shot 2 impromptu videos with very little planning. We just fired up the camera and let it rip. I hope you enjoy.

GURU TV – Faults and Fixes episode 1: “The takeaway”

October 30, 2010

Leave your faults ideas in the comment area and I will give you the fix and a drill that will help. I have simplified my way to fix the rollers. I still believe there are several ways to take in away (see one piece/2 piece archive video). I know there are exceptions to the rule but the majority of world-class players keep the club shaft ON or ON TOP of the shaft plane. Coincidence, I think not. Good luck with your takeaway and let me know how it goes.

GURU TV – “The Kure Putting Solution”: Training Aid Review with Special Guest:LPGA Teaching Professional, Nancy Harvey

October 28, 2010

I would like to welcome one of my fellow teaching professionals, Nancy Harvey to Guru TV. She is an outstanding teacher and coach and I am fortunate to be able to teach with her every day. I promised all of you, teachers and students some feedback on my new training aid, “The Kure”. I have given about 5 lessons using the aid from 2 tour players (who both loved it), to a wide range of students. I start my lesson by watching the student roll a few putts with the naked eye and make my initial assumptions on aim, set up and stroke mechanics. I proceed into the video room and put them on the camera where I share with them what I like and don’t like. I make the necessary adjustments to their setup and stroke and then introduce the Kure indoors first until they can aim effectively and hit some solid putts. Then I take them outside to finish the lesson so they can see the feedback and make some putts. Here is some excellent feedback given by a student that I worked with today……………………….

Roger’s Comments: Had the opportunity to spend an hour with Jason this afternoon trying out The Kure. At first glance it resembles the floor safety sensors for your standard automatic garage door and opener, just shrunken down a bit. One sensor for your putter and the other over your line or the cup. Line ‘em up and a yellow light pops on. Make a good stroke all the way through and a green light comes on. Who doesn’t love immediate feedback? I was literally sinking putt after putt while using this thing. I saw only 2 very minor issues with the tool, both very subjective; 1) I have a ping anser series putter. Its pretty light compared to some of the hardware I see people pull out on the greens these days. I felt it added a little too much weight to my club. I could see it being barely noticeable, if at all, with one of the heavier, say, odyssey 2 ball putters or a belly putter, but would like to see it refined to a smaller, lighter version. 2) I caught myself wanting to look to the hole as I was putting rather than keep my head down. I was searching for the green indicator that signaled a good stroke. Jason made a great suggestion that they add sound to the device in addition to the indicator lights. Or I could just keep my head down….. This is a great training aid. And for the lefties out there….I’m a lefty! Works equally well on both sides of the ball. Coupling this great tool with a great instructor like Jason WILL make you dangerous on the greens.

Now that is great, honest feedback! Thanks for the comment, Roger.

I Have “The Kure” In my hands. Who Needs A Putting Lesson?

October 26, 2010

If you read the previous post and and watched the video, you already know that I have purchased a new training aid called “The Kure”. I have taken it out of the box and started to mess with it in my house on the carpet and I am very excited to share it with my students starting tomorrow. So who needs a putting lesson? I am accepting guinea pigs this week for those who want to try it. We have talked extensively about the importance of set up and posture in putting but it is all for not if you can’t aim the putter face and square it at impact. This is what The Kure helps you create. Muscle memory and visual feedback of face alignment. I think I will couple this with the Putting Arc and see what happens. If you like it, I will help you purchase one for your own personal use as I am now a certified dealer. Details will follow as how to do this. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you all on the putting green.

“THE KURE” Putting Solution: THE LATEST IN THE GURUS ARSENAL OF TRAINING AIDS

October 19, 2010

The Kure putting solution is a new training aid that I discovered from one of my students. I am always trying to find new toys and gadgets that will help my students improve. Putting is one of the most important parts of the game and it is very important that you work efficiently as you practice. No matter what method that you believe in, the number one fundamental is clubface alignment and control. If you can’t aim the putter face consistently, you will not be the best putter that you can be. I feel that this new gadget which is endorsed by two putting instructors that I admire (Todd Sones and Mike Shannon), will help me as an instructor and you as my student, get more out of our time together on the putting green. I placed the order this morning, so you know that  I will be doing a video with a  review from my findings. In the meantime, here is a short video that demonstrates this fine product.

See you on the lesson tee,
