Reaching your full potential of movement during your backswing can have a huge impact on the power of your golf swing. It seems that the spine’s ability, or inability, to rotate gets too much credit for being a limitation to finding optimal range. If you find yourself struggling with power, or difficulty with swaying or sliding during your golf swing, …
Over the last several years, we have done plenty of features on restaurants around Dallas, Fort Worth and their surrounding areas. From burgers and barbecue to fine dining, steaks and pasta, we have seen a little of everything DFW’s culinary scene has to offer. Rarely are we absolutely blown away by a new and exciting concept, but that is exactly …
I recently sat down with our Head Golf Instructor at the Four Seasons Golf & Sports Club, Jack Daneshmand, to compare what we find most common in each of our practices. For Jack, naming the swing fault he sees most often came very quickly: early extension. There are multiple physical reasons a golfer may demonstrate early extension, causing inaccurate contact …
August is famous for being hot, Texas hot, and this year has given us many 100-plus degree days already. Even the Old Farmer’s Almanac recognizes the legendary dog days of summer to be deep in the heart of August. So it’s no surprise that the question I hear a lot around the club these days is what are the top …
The golf swing requires many movements that come from varying areas of the body. Specifically, the golf swing requires movements to follow a pattern referred to as a kinematic sequence. Kinematic Sequence Hips → Trunk → Arms → Club To successfully achieve the kinematic sequence, our bodies must have the ability to separate movements of the joints involved. This is …
Given the lack of new car inventory and pre-owned models are still in major play, we decided to check out a blast from the recent past; a 2019 Jaguar F-TYPE P340 with only 14,000 miles. It’s one of my favorite rides. Occasionally, a blissful aligning of planets occurs in the car industry. This exquisite model grants nearly every gearhead’s wish …
To perform a technically sound swing, the lower and upper bodies need to be able to disassociate from one another. For the lower body to disassociate, however, the upper body must be stable enough to support itself independently or it becomes nearly impossible for the club to return on the same impact plane line initiated during the backswing. Variations in …
Most available vehicles are attractive to their targeted demographic, yet the time it requires whittling down the multitudes of optional equipment can be a mighty undertaking. The mind-numbing array of options can enthrall and befuddle even the most discerning luxury car buyer. Heaps of available upgrades pepper the senses and sticker price in this lofty segment, as auto manufacturers continually …
If you have been a regular reader of AVIDGOLFER, then you are likely familiar with the name Stefon Rishel. We have featured several of his restaurants in the publication over the years, including Wishbone and Flynt, which has been one of Fort Worth’s most talked about restaurants since it opened in January 2020. Now, Rishel and his investors, the Trident …
A good golf swing has many moving parts and requires much from the body. But before the body can perform a technically sound swing, it must be able to physically handle all that is required. In particular, the body must be stable enough to generate and transfer major energy. It must also be stable enough to promote mobility. You can’t …
