This is not an accident that I have an unlit cigarette while hitting a golf ball. It’s actually a training tool. You don’t have use a cigarette, you can also use pens, anything that’s about 3-5 inches.
What I’ve found that the cigarette does for me when I swing with it is that:
1. Keeps me in balance. If I try to swing to hard, I will bite the cigarette with my tooth and I won’t be able to smoke it after my practice.
2. Keeps your shoulders relaxed. If your shoulders are tense, you will hit the cigarette with your shoulders on the backswing.
3. Keeps your head up for balance…. balance …. balance is everything in golf and life…
If you think I am wrong, look in the history of golf and look at Ben Hogan. If you find a Ben Hogan’s swing without a cigarette, let me know and I will send you five dollars!
(Could be that because Ben Hogan was a chronic smoker, he’s golf swing HAD to be in BALANCE!?!)

Here’s an example of going outside my plane. As discussed in the previous post about Tiger’s plane, it seems here that I am on my way to hitting the ball with a 50 yard slice here. This is what NOT to do…

The Simple Natural Golf Grip
1 Comment Published September 9th, 2007 in Golf Grip, Golf News, Swing Tips.
As mentioned in the previous post, you need to first have both of your hands opposing each other like shown in the picture above. (kinda like a prayer…)
Then, simply just grip the club without twisting or unnecessary actions.
WARNING: This grip is good for people with neutral golf swing, a natural golf swing. If you are a chronic hooker, this might help you, if you are a chrnonic slicer, don’t even try it dude.

After college, I played in the mini-tours in Northern California called, Pepsi Tour. Basically you pay your $300 entry fee and if you win, you win like $1000 to $3000. Not a bad deal if you win most of the time but I lost most of the time… It was a good experience because I got to play with all the best players on that mini-tour. There not that many contenders so if you play enough tournaments, you get to play with the best players eventually.
I would have kept playing but I broke my middle finger while playing basketball so I need to save some money until I get back on tour. (I am thinking of making donation buttons on this site if there’s enough traffic in the future…hehe… you can ALL sponsor me… and I will give you 500% return if I make it to PGA Tour. Good deal huh?)
Eventually, I should be able to make money selling mattresses at my new company and get back on to playing golf. If you wanna be a pro golfer and you live in the Nor-Cal area, I do suggest playing the Pepsi Tour. It’s a lot of fun.
Anyways, the above video shows my swing with some LEDs in the dark. I was making this LED device for fun but it could be a good training device too. (I should patent it huh?)
Check out how to make the LED Golf POV here at my Zedomax site.

Hit the ball great today. Best Ball hitting day in 3 years! (I think…)
1 Comment Published September 7th, 2007 in Swing Tips.I was kickin’ it at a driving range today for the first time in 3 months due to the fact that we were building the Bedzine Mattress Store and Keetsa Mattress Store.
Anyways, I was at this really nice driving range (with nightlights yes!) near Sunset, San Francisco where I live.
I swung the club great! It was one of those magic definition moments. Too bad I didn’t have a camera with me, otherwise you could’ve seen me swingin’
Anyways here’s the secrets I actually wrote down on the side of my trusty Ping golf bag since I wanted to remember today:
1. Hover the clubhead over the ball before you swing.
2. Use your weight to control the whole swing. Move weight about 25% on the left and 75% on the right to get your swing started. Then move weight 100% to the left and 0% on the right to finish. This will automatically let you turn your body.
3. Keep you grip light. (especially right before the downswing) This will allow you to use the body to control your swing, not your arms or hands.
Well, I will eventually take a picture of my golf bag with the above tips. (Actually I might use it as part of my new golf blog theme…)
Anyways, if I could hit the ball like today, I’d be very very happy everyday. (and make lots of money off my golfing buddies…) :0)
If this helped you, let me know.
