Steve, Thanks for the recipe! I just came back from a really weird round, and I think I need a training device like this. For the first 10-1/2 holes, I was topping almost every shot I looked at. I was 19 over par through 11 holes; I'm a 14.4, so this is really terrible. A solid short game was all

Dave, I borrowed a friend's Whippy 7-iron for a few weeks. It is the best training aid I have ever used. I was able to hit balls well with it in a rather short time. In fact, it got to the point where I was hitting the Whippy more consistently than my regular 7-iron(s). I was able to hit it 150 ya

Not really. I got the driver, which seems to a do a good job overall, but I could see where one for your iron swing or putter stroke might be good too. Obviously, the ones for a full swing will likely benefit all of your game to greater degree than would the putter. Dan Neubecker [EMAIL PROTECTE

It's OK, TFlan, After 35 years writing advertising and having it proofread, I kind of miss being jibed about a misspelling. Once, I did an ad for the University of Tennessee Evening School that had a misspelled word in the headline. Went through three proofings and nobody saw it before it went in

Dave, Well, I never used it for any length of time on a committed basis, as I have a pretty smooth tempo swing. However, whenever I get off track and start striking the ball poorly or with erratic direction, I pull the whippy out for a range session or two and then to warm up with before I play
