1. Take full benefit of one's lower physique strength

People see golfers and so they discover most of the movement taking location within the arms. Nevertheless, the real power for the shot comes from leg muscle tissues. Your arms and wrists are important, but with out the power provided from your trunk you wouldn't strike the golf ball farther then 50 feet. It's very essential to let your whole body operate collectively inside your golfing swing.

1. Take your time, slow down your golf swing.

It isn't essential to have such a lighting quick back golf swing resulting in a rushed lower golf swing. A gradual swing does not lack power. As an alternative, it is controlled till the right point. The whole golf swing ought to be gradual. The primary level is to maintain a easy rhythm for your golf swing. You can have energy and strike the golf ball far with out having the quickest swing. The transition in between the back golf swing and down swing will be the most significant. Help much better your golf golf swing by pausing on the prime of one's back golf swing, making sure you don't rush your intense lower swing. Comply with this tip and your accuracy will improve for sure.

Golfing doesn't have the bodily get in touch with that soccer or hockey does. There isn't much operating neither. However, what it does need to be able to be dominated is proper muscle control. I hope this natural golf swing tip will help you guys.

I see what you mean and for the most, I agree.

If you have never seen the documentary, "Welcome To Macintosh," rent it for an entertaining inside look at the culture of Apple and a look back through the company's history within the tech industry. There are plenty of employee/engineer/executive interviews that will keep you smiling, IMHO. I was particularly amazed to hear what some of the executives really think about the iPod.

Thanks for responding.

Well, the iPhone group is always at a crossroads, because they are still blazing new trails, so they have to pave their own roads

I think it would be a mistake for Apple to go after the "hardcore" gamers, because there are some game things (IMHO) the iPhone does not do as well, and a direct frontal marketing assault on Nintendo/SONY would just highlight those. More to the point, Apple does not need to go after the hardcore gamers to be a phenomenal success. Addressing any of the things I saw as flaws for a game device would probably compromise other functions of the iPhone, and the number of hardcore gamers who would welcome those changes is probably far smaller than the regular users who would hate them. With the balance Apple has struck, they can scarcely meet demand as it is.

I do not think games will be the iPhone's moment of truth, anyways. That will come when a more "open" platform -- be it Android, WebOS, WinMo, Maemo, Symbian, whatever -- finally gets its act together and catches up. All other things being even close to equal, the more open platform will eventually win out, as the sheer weight of numbers eventually tips R&D, cool features, and killer applications in its favor. Those things are not equal now, because Apple's focus made the iPhone the first, and (again, IMHO) still the best device of its kind. Other platforms have yet to figure out how to replicate its success, much less improve it. However, while crowds may not innovate as fast, they learn from each individual's failure, so the gap between Apple and the others, while still large, has narrowed in the past year.

Apple's crossroads will be when some more open device closes the gap enough that customers start to notice -- at that point Apple can either open up, and let its rich developer community share more of the burden of making cooler apps that sell the platform, or Apple can retrench and close off, banking on a single company with focused vision and skills can stay ahead of the rest of the world all by itself.

Even for a company as talented as Apple, the us-against-the-whole-world strategy will eventually fail -- to stay ahead of such a large crowd, you cannot make a single mistake, and that margin of error cannot be denied indefinitely. Despite initially great technology and leads, Apple itself failed spectacularly this way, almost snuffing itself out, in the war for the desktop. (The 1997 book "Apple: The Inside Story of Intrigue, Egomania, and Business Blunders" is fascinating reading, for fanbois and haters alike.)

Granted, the story might end differently for a phone than for a general purpose computer, but, one way or another, Apple will be facing its crossroads when the competition starts getting their acts together.

I understand.

Do you think that Apple may find itself at a "crossroads" as to how to market and develop the iPhone and iPod Touch as time stretches on? So far, the iPhone has been the jack of all trades and master of...?

Of course iPhone games are legitimate -- you may be misreading me as the gamer type who says "casual games" with a sneer. If you have fun with them, buy them and play them -- I do. But I also recognize that, with its current hardware configuration, there exists a class of games the iPhone does not play well, or at least not as well as the systems Apple as casting as "the competition.

If I could draw a Venn Diagram here, it would illustrate that the iPhone game capabilities do not encompass all of PSP/DS capabilities, nor vice-versa. There is huge overlap, true, and I suspect the iPhone is going to chip away substantially at PSP/DS sales due to that overlap, but there is still a large segment out there who wants a different (better? worse? up to the player) game experience than the iPhone is capable of providing.

You are a step ahead of me. I am saying the same thing.

" iPhone hasn’t shown that phones don’t need buttons."

I'm sure you're kidding.

Regardless of what you personally think is required for a device to be considered a gaming platform, sales of game applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch make a compelling argument toward their place in the gaming industry. I don't think Apple finds that "ridiculous."

wether or not the iPhone is a gaming machine isn't up to you. It's not up to me. It's up to the individual users. If the iPhone becomes the leader in portable gaming isn't that a pretty good sign of it's success as a gaming platform? Wether or not "real gamers" agree with it.

"I think that very thing (needs buttons) was said about cellphones. "

-And that still remains true today. iPhone hasn't shown that phones don't need buttons. The best selling phones are 1handed use button devices even today. The best selling phone, by far, is a Nokia with 200 million sold. It has buttons. What iPhone has shown is that Americans and Apple users like PDAs. Look at the numbers of where iPhoen is sold well and who it's being sold to.

The fact remains that button devices are far more suited for the use-case of mobility. The iPhone is a MID. It's no more a gaming machine than my SE P1i or my E71 which has thousands of titles from MMORPG to 3D games. That's like saying a netbook is a gaming machine because you can play close to a million games on it (from web & flash; and there are some fantastic games that netbooks can play) compared to only several thousand titles available for the xBox, PS3 or whatever.

Just because a horse can pull a wagon doesn't make the horse a pickup truck.

"Gaming requires buttons, especially a d-pad analog stick. Whatever it may be, there just HAS to be buttons."

I think that very thing was said about cellphones.

@ fassy

I agree that the iPhone has notched a place in the gaming market.

The overall graphic quality or depth of a game is of less importance here. A game need not be expensive, lengthy nor feature rich for it to be a legitimate game. Consumers only need to find value to buy. So far, regardless of the graphics and physical limitations, iPhone gaming, according to the sales numbers, has been satisfying that requirement.

finally. Someone who knes what the he'll they're talking about. Refreshing.

it's funny, because the more you guys are venting, the more people buy iPhone games. For exemple, I just got a $25 iTunes card, and I will download tonight : Madden, modern combat ( gameloft), the new sword game from gameloft ( I don't remember the name ) , dj mix tour, the finger, and 2XL supercross. Ahhhhhhh what a crazy weekend

see you at the end of the year for a bilan, and you WILL how everybody will become crazy about the iPhone gaming plateform.

Muahahahaha ha ha ha ( Stewie Griffin's evil laugh)

1) No buttons. It has been mentioned ad nauseum, but some games play far better with physical controls. (The Dooms and Quakes on the DS are orders of magnitude easier/more fun to control than Doom on the iPhone, and Doom is one of the better twitch games on the iPhone.)

2) Battery life. I can play my DS for an entire cross-country plane flight. I can forget to charge it for days and pick it up and be confident it will play. On my iPhone...not so much.

3) External Media. No cartridges on the iPhone is convenient, but limits what a game can offer. Tiger Woods Golf has better graphics and far richer sounds on the PSP than on the iPhone -- not because the iPhone's hardware is incapable, but because EA cannot count on the iPhone having a GB of space just for one game, so they leave it out. A cartridge/UMD gives the game that much more room for content, be it better textures, sound, or more/deeper gameplay.

Despite these issues, I still think the iPhone will eat at the DS and PSP's sales, because there are a lot of people out there for whom those factors do not matter. Those people are not going to plunk down $250 on a PSP when they already have/will get an iPhone. Even if the DS and PSP are superior as game machines, Nintendo and SONY should be at least a little concerned.

(And yes, Madden 10 is far, far better on the PSP than on the iPhone. Four times better? Depends on your POV, but it is close...)

not everyone is interested in hardcore gaming. hence the success of the wii. thr fact is i haven't touched my playstation in well over a year, yet i'm playing the crap out of madden on the iphone...not to mention other games as well. Apple never seems to know what they're doing (ipod comes out and its too expensive not enough storage....iphone comes out and it doesnt have a real keyboard and this that and the other)....until we realize we're the ones that don't have a clue. There's a reason steve jobs is who he is and the rest of us are just, well....us....not the ceo of a company worth billions

what don't you get? Lets see do i want to spend $40 to play a game on a tiny screen or do i want to spend $10? (speaking in terms of madden 10) What do i do? MMMM? is the gaming experience on the PSP somehow "better"? I think that's subjective really. Its a freaking video game after all. unless it takes up your whole life i would consider a game to be something you do for the fun of it. $10 is a lot more fun than $40...

He makes great points. Although the iPhone has plenty of games, the design is in reverse. Nintendo and Sony set out to make portable gaming instruments. The design tries to maximize that task. the iPhone is designed to be a clean and button-less computing device. Of course games can be written for the iPhone, that is not the point. The point is to create devices that maximize the gaming experience. That is why Nintendo can get away with selling games priced much higher than the iPhone. People perceive that NDS games have higher value and quality.

I use my iPhone for quick pick-up-put-down games, but for more serious gaming, I have my PSP, DS, and PS3, oh, and the Wii. At least the Wii still has buttons of some sort.

I can't do any hardcore gaming on my iPhone. I only load it with casual games.

Plus, there are all the exclusives that are on DS/PSP that probably won't appear on the App Store - Final Fantasy series (not that crystal defenders stuff), Zelda, etc.

No matter what Apple says about gaming, I can't take them seriously about it.

iPhone will overtake the handheld market from Nintendo when OS X overtakes the OS market from Windows.

What gets me is that Steve is claiming no camera was added because the iPod is a "gaming machine." Yet look at the DSi. People surely bought that gaming machine with a camera...

Then again...it's Nintendo and the DS. ANYONE would've bought it no matter a camera or not, lmao.

The higher buy-in cost means Apple's platform is unlikely to damage Nintendo/Sony sales overall but it's inarguably a legit gaming platform and will only get better as the hardware improves.

And talk like Yoda, I am doing today. (Yoda giggle follows>

You say Modern Combat: Sandstorm is pap? It´s been highly aclaimed by showing FPS games WORK on the iphone when done properly! In fact, has an ex-psp owner, and ds owner, i cant tell you it controls better than any fps on the psp (lack of second analog kills it), and even better than on the ds (no cramps)

And regarding sports games, at least football (the real one, that you call "soccer"), works fine. Real Football, X2 Football, and soon FIFA show it works with no problems with touch controls.

Gangstar by gameloft showed a 3d GTA style game can work on the iphone/ipod touch, and titles like Real Racing and NFSU do the same for the racing game

Apple's SDK probably has to many restrictions for game devs too. Heaven forbid they try to make use of the volume buttons or something like that. People may get confused... Oh my, is this game hijacked my volume buttons, how am I going to change the volume now.. Agggghh!! I am glad Apple is here to hold our hands.

So in my book the iPhone is an incredibly good PDA, but not a gaming machine at all whatsoever.

I know for sure that accesories can be made to be used on the iPhone soooo why not a game controler?? I remember one cellphone on Sprint that was able to do that. Furthermore why not an accesory that has a flash for the camera? Of course apps would have to be built by the makers of such accesories.... Just some thoughts.

I still would like 2 extra hardware buttons, like a call and back key that developers could use to their liking for gaming buttons and one virtual stick. Then I think it would really be the third portable system people talk about. Just look, Sony is dumping the UMD drive and openning an app store to push cheaper downloadable games.

I like football as much as anyone. Sports games are a major reason for me to own a console game. But i couldn't imagine playing Madden or whatever on a small touch screen. I tried NFL 2010 out of curiosity and consider it a waste of money.

No d-pad & button controls = no amount of graphics power will help.

But what i think as games and what i saw as demos at that event are two different things. Casual quick games or time wasters are what i like such as Bejeweled, Galcon, card games like wordace, chess, scrabble, etc. These (besides Galcon) are on other smartphones as well.

Anything more involved than that gets placed on a PC or console.
