Guru TV – Interval Training for Swing Plane and Impact: Guru Style

May 11, 2010

I think impact is a very difficult thing to teach and to work on. As you have seen in previous videos, I have laid out a progression of drills to help you to develop the skill of creating a flat lead wrist. We talked about training the left arm with my 3 steps to a better impact. 1. left arm only…..2. the claw drill…….3. the punch shot. Now I have another way to create more of a feel rather than just understanding impact. I have seen amazing results from this type of training that will surely help your ball striking. Most golfers understand that the shaft should swing on plane and that the handle should lead the club face but most have never actually felt it. In this video, I give you a way to use a couple of training aids to help you feel these two important areas of the swing. I hope you enjoy INTERVAL TRAINING…..GURU STYLE.

Let me know how it goes and feel free to schedule a lesson so I can take you through this personally and show you the results on video as well as in your ball striking. Visit our website at http://www.danarader.com or call 704-542-7635 to schedule a lesson.

C-Prime: You have to check this product out

May 9, 2010

First of all, I am not getting paid or have I even met anyone associated with this company but I had to share this new product with Guru Nation. I recently had one of my elite juniors out for a tune-up and I noticed a ring in his back pocket. I thought, “I didn’t know that he rubbed snuff.” Come to find out that it wasn’t a snuff can but an odd looking bracelet. His dad explains to me that this product is not even out yet and Lucas Glover, Anthony Kim and several other tour players are wearing these bracelets or in their pockets as it only has to be touching your body somewhere to work. My student proceeded to do these various tests on flexibility, strength and mobility that you will see demonstrated in this video and it works just like the video shows. I know it sounds crazy but it is true. I will let you know when I get mine and keep you updated on the results.

See you on the lesson tee,

Masters Recap and Video from my day at Augusta

April 11, 2010

Wow! What a great Masters tournament this year. I am glad they are now setting up the course so that the players can make birdies and eagles and go low again. The roars are back at Augusta and it was very exciting once again. Here are my observations and some video that I shot. It is a bit rough but I hope you enjoy it. If you have never had a chance to go to Augusta, you must go at least once. It is like no other place and is one of my favorite places on earth.

1. Great to see Phil be courageous and actually pull it off. The shot on 13 was phenomenal.

2. My childhood idol, Fred Couples gave us some hope and nearly won at 50, wow that would have been a story.

3. Tiger continues to amaze at how he can get the most out of his round with his C swing, incredible. I hope he comes to Charlotte.

4. Anthony Kim seems to have his form and head on straight, great to see.

5. Biggest Disappointments were Jim Furyk, Ernie Els and Charl Schwartzel.

6. Lee Westwood officially gets the label of the best player without a major. He will win the British Open.

Give me your thoughts on the Masters. It was one for the ages.

Aimpoint golf: “What It Takes To Win”

April 8, 2010

We often talk about the importance of putting but I don’t think we fully understand what it takes to be reach our goals. Aimpointgolf.com was developed by Mark Sweeney and is the technology that you see used on the PGA Tour to show the actual break line of a putt. This is a  chart that I found interesting and might make you think about what is really important in achieving your golfing goals. I want to thank my good friend, John Graham which is a certified Aim Point Instructor and a great resource for golf instruction and information for making me aware of this wonderful technology. Check his site out at johngrahamgolf.com. I will be checking into getting more info about the green reading information developed by AimPoint to help my students and peeps of Guru Nation. I hope you enjoy the post and enjoy the Masters.

GURU TV – Fitness Episode #3 “The flying right elbow”

February 2, 2010

Do you find your arms seperating in your backswing? Ideally, the distance between the elbows should stay the same from address to the top of your swing. I know this isn’t a fundamental as there have been a few pretty good players play with a high rear arm, such as: Jack Nicklaus, Angel Cabrerra and Carl Petterson. This makes the transition that much harder to shallow out the club and keep it on plane. Keep the elbows together and see if it improves your ball striking. Enjoy the show. Comments are welcome.
