I am a senior golfer and with this PurePoint golf DVD and a few others that they offer, my golf game has improved dramatically, in a very short period of time. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain, because of PurePoint Golfs guarantee. Check it out!

I will give you a few of the invaluable tips that I have gleaned from these instructional, and fun to watch DVDs.

1. Always hit the back of the ball and follow through. You can do this with a correct stance, correct ball position between your stance, and keeping your head against the wall. In other words do not move your head until you are in your follow through.

2. Set up with a straight back, bend forward from the waist, lift your chin, drag the club straight back and lift your arms to the top of your swing. A fully extended position halfway through your back swing will help you attain a wide swing arc. GUESS WHAT? you do not have to keep your left arm straight. It is OK to bend a little bit, at the elbow.

3. Let your arms swing freely. Stand just far enough away from the ball to let your arms hang naturally from your posture. You should have enough room to slip your right fist between your left hand and thigh. Make sure to relax your hands at address. You should be able to feel the grip with your fingertips.

4. We all need to build up our hand strength. To start building your hand strength, take two irons or a weighted club and grip it firmly, but not tightly. Make a slow, smooth swing, and try to stop your follow through just past the impact position. This exercise will feel awkward at first, but it’s a great way to build strength in your hands and forearms, and after a few swings, you should feel the difference almost immediately.

Starting in 2011 High School and College baseball bats that perform more like wood ones were adapted.

You will no longer here the familiar ping of the aluminum or composite baseball bats. It should be noted that Junior and Senior Little Leagues have as yet, not adapted these new bats.

The new rule ensures that metal bats will perform very similar to wooden bats and this change in the bat’s performance will alter the sound with a higher frequency being produced.

BBCOR or “Bat-Ball Coefficient of Resolution” is a complex formula that uses the mass and inbound and rebound speeds of the ball. In short it measures the bounciness of the ball when it hits the bat. The new limit sets a coefficient of 0.50, which is typically how a wooden bat performs. This means the new bats will not have a “trampoline effect”, which happens when the ball hits the thin metal surface of the bat causing it to depress and then return to its original position, which results in more bounce.

The question is “Why not go back to wooden bats?”. The answer may well be “They don’t break!”

 Metal Bats vs Wooden Bats

In 2010 some top college coaches preferred metal bats to wood baseball bats.

If coaches at the top U.S. college baseball programs have their way, the ping of aluminum bats will forever remain a part of the game.

According to an Associated Press survey of 24 coaches whose programs have won 1,000 or more games since 1985, 17 said they preferred aluminum and that there was no need to study the possibility of going to wood baseball bats.

We just don’t see the aluminum bat hindering our game in any way. In an ideal world, wood would be cheap, very cost efficient and it would be totally equitable. That can never happen.

Five coaches said they like wood better, but all acknowledged that aluminum probably is here to stay. Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan said he had no opinion on the question and Arizona State coach Tim Esmay declined to participate in the survey as teams prepare for the College World Series, which is held each year, in Omaha, Nebraska.

Proponents of metal argue that all 301 Division I programs play with the same thing and there’s no risk of having top programs playing with better wood baseball bats, potentially skewing the results. They also like the scoring boost and say a $300 aluminum bat can last an entire 56-game season, while $100 wooden bats can break at any time.

Still, wood baseball bats have appeal. They allow the game to be played as it was intended, the argument goes, with the hit-and-run, base stealing and bunting all emphasized. Plus, college players would in theory be better prepared to move to professional baseball.

Earlier this year, Division II commissioners began studying the possibility of going to wood, perhaps as soon as 2012.

Ty Halpin, the NCAA associate director of playing rules administration, said Division II made the move in part to address length-of-game concerns. Aluminum-bat games generally take longer because there is more offense.

The length of games also is a concern in Division I. The NCAA does not track the time of games in the regular season. But in 1973, the year before aluminum bats, the average College World Series game lasted 2 hours, 19 minutes. Last year, the average was a record 3:38, with four games stretching longer than 4 hours, and since 1996, the average CWS game has been under 3 hours just once.

Aluminum bats were seen as a cost-saving alternative to wood when they were introduced at the college level in 1974, and the extra offense they produced added a lot of excitement to the games.
