- Golf Better #34: Kenny Answers More of Your Questions
Thanks to our loyal and passionate following, Golf Better @ Edwin Watts Golf has cultivated a global audience. As a result, we have a fresh crop of questions for Kenny Nicholson, Technical Specialist of Edwin Watts Golf, to answer on this episode.
Tim Frazier of Florida writes in and asks "I have been hearing about golf shaft PUREing and the advantages that it will bring to all levels of golfers. Does this really help the control on & off center hits?"
Name: Alex Kinkade of Ohio asks "My driver has a dent on the crown, located on the toe. Would this dent change the ball flight like the weights on a Taylomade driver?"
Name: Mike Lyons from Maryland writes to Kenny saying, "A few months ago on one of the podcasts, you mentioned a product that was great for cleaning practice mat residue from irons. Can you tell me what that was? I thought it contained the word 'spirits,' but I'm not sure."
Brian Fox of Maryland asks "I know that temperature and humidity have an affect on distance, but how much? Can it be quantified with a simple formula? For example, does a 10 degree temperature decrease cause a 2 percent distance decrease? Is there a formula or rule of thumb with respect to how wind changes distance? What is that threshold? How much does low trajectory help battle the wind?"

- Golf Better #32: Ask Kenny
One of my favorite things about podcasting is that you're engaged in the conversation, and on this episode of Golf Better @ Edwin Watts Golf, Kenny Nicholson, Technical Specialist at Edwin Watts Golf answers your questions.
Kenny starts by answering David Largent of Maryland, who asks: "On wedges, what is the main factor that hosel length has in performance?"
Brendan Toohey from Singapore writes in to ask: "I was listening to the podcast with the guy from Adams, and you were talking about the effect of having the wrong lie angle: i.e., if the club's too flat for the golfer, then the toe will hit the ground, open the blade and the ball will slice?"
Tyrone from Detroit asks: "I was practicing my swing, in slow motion while looking into a mirror. And dropping my hands feels manipulated. Is that what I am supposed to do and is that what it supposed to feel like?"
Alan from West Sussex, England writes "Why can't you purchase clubs (irons) as singles?"
Chris from Manahawkin, NJ asks: "Typically, what type of ball is a 'range ball'? What are the big differences between them and a ball we would use for play. I've always believed that the flight of the ball is exaggerated on a range ball. Am I right?"
