Who is the golf teacher who taught Tom Kite?

Harvey Penick, the incredible golf teacher who worked with PGA Tour players Tom Kite, Ben Crenshaw, and LPGA Players Mickey Wright, Betsey Rawls and Kathy Whitworth talked about swinging a “Heavy Club” in his best selling “ Little Red Book “. Here is what he said, “ Every Golfer from young adult through Seasoned Citizens, should own a heavy practice club that weighs at lease 22 ounces. Swinging a weighted club with your regular grip and stance is the best exercise I know to build the golf muscles”.

Can you swing a golf club at full speed?

2. To avoid injury, never swing the GolfGym Club at full speed. Here are some videos to help you with your GolfGym Club 28 & Club 38.

Number One

It doesn’t actually help you swing the club any faster. As a matter of fact, science seems to indicate just the opposite – despite what it may feel like to us.

Does Powerstik have a heavy in transition?

In spite of that, it doesn’t have that same “ heavy in transition” feeling as the flexible heavy clubs. Bonus feature: it stands up on its own.

Can you swing the Orange Whip?

Despite what the manufacturers say, heavy clubs, particularly the flexible ones, are not a panacea. Swinging the Orange Whip or Gold Flex will not instantly give you a bunch of “lag,” nor will it cure your slice. In fact, it is conceivable that these clubs will exacerbate your problems.
