Monday, July 5th, 2010

As a car owner, you have probably invested a lot on your car. This is probably why, of all of your investments, you have got to protect it at all cost.  Parking Dynamics just know how you feel and have developed its state-of-the-art reverse parking sensor. This parking sensor, in one or way or another, helps protect your investment from the common dangers of parking your car.  Parking Dynamics is the manufacturer, supplier, and distributor of its universal parking sensor, the PD1 parking sensor.

 

There are reasons why a car or any vehicle should be fitted with a reverse parking sensor or a parking sensor at the front of the car.  But probably the greatest consideration is the safety not only of the motorist and the car but also of the other cars or those other victims of car accidents caused by simply parking.  The sensor gives out an early warning when there is danger parking your car. So you need to be on your toes when the time comes to hit the brakes to prevent impending damage. The role of the parking sensor is to make sure that you do not hit anything behind you when you are parking your car. It is essentially keeping you safe and letting you drive out of the tight parking spaces.

 

The main benefit of a parking sensor then is that it can actually help you to navigate over crowded parking spaces with less effort.  A reverse parking sensor can warn you of objects, that you wouldn’t normally see or notice at the behind your car.  That is why reverse parking sensor is extensively designed for vehicles with very poor rear visibility.  The sensor from Parking Dynamics takes out the possible danger of parking and reversing with the use of innovative parking technology.

 

Another reason why cars and vehicles should make use of parking sensors is to reduce the peril of smashing when backing up or during a parallel parking.  Any driver would notice that using the rear view mirror when reversing, there is the risk already at hand.  Reverse parking sensor can be very helpful at this instance because it is able to alert the driver early on of any movement behind the car.  You didn’t even have to strain your neck to know that it’s there.

 

Parking Dynamics understands that the road is getting full of commotion and crowded parking areas.  But because of the reverse parking sensor the firm manufactures, supplies, and distributes, you won’t have any trouble parking your car in any way.  It will perfectly fit with your car without compromising its beautiful appearance.  In fact, the reverse parking sensor cannot even be seen from where it is mounted.  Parking sensors are normally easy to install and you can even do it yourself.  

 

At Parking Dynamics, you can have a choice of front or rear installation for the PDI Parking Sensor.  It all depends on the make of your car or vehicle.  Whether it is an Alfa Romeo, Volkswagen, Ford, or Honda, you can choose any kind of reverse parking sensor. Parking Dynamics has the Universal Option which is compatible with any car or vehicle such as a 4×4, van, horsebox, trailer, or motor home.  Whatever you got, there is a parking sensor to match it. 

 

If you are bothered by the car accidents during parking, you can always deal with them by fitting your car with a parking sensor.  You might not realize it but this has greatly lessened accidents when parking.  This means giving protection to the children, elderly, and the physically handicapped.  Their reflexes might not be as fast as yours. So you have the responsibility of ensuring their safety and protection with the parking sensors.

Sinking Short Putts Cuts Golf Handicap

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

Most of us think we sink a lot of short putts. But research indicates otherwise. Weekend golfers sink only about half of their 12-foot putts. While professional golfers under tour conditions sink only about 20 percent of them. The emphasis here, of course, is on “under tour conditions,” which increases putting difficulty.

But sinking more short putts improves your golf handicap, since we usually have many more short putts than long ones during a round. So if you’re really serious about lowering your golf handicap, work on sinking more short putts.

One area of short putting to focus on is alignment. Poor alignment causes more missed short putts than almost anything else. The tips below on help improve alignment.

Correct Shoulder Misalignment

Pulled putts hurts many a weekend golfer. Among the biggest causes of pulled putts is shoulder misalignment. Players with low golf handicaps tend to blame pulled putts on a breakdown of the wrists. But that’s not always the case. If your shoulders are misaligned, you’ll pull putts.

Next time you’re on the practice green, try this simple test: Go through your pre-shot routine. Take your address. Now, bend down and place your club’s shaft lengthwise along your feet so that it’s touching your toes. If the shaft is not running parallel to the target line, you may have discovered why you’re pulling your short putts.

How can you fix this? First, push your hands as close together as possible. The closer your hands, the less likely you are to dip your back shoulder toward the ball, caused by how you grip the club. Second, think of the line of your shoulders as you address the ball. If you’re fighting a pull, make sure your shoulders are parallel to the target line. That way when you swing, it will be along the line of the putt, not out to in.

Aligning The Putterface

 In addition to aligning your shoulders properly, your must also align your putterface correctly. The putter’s sweet spot must be perpendicular to the target for the ball to be online and stay that way during the putt. If you’re missing short putts, you could be taking this fundamental for granted—a common error among players with high golf handicaps.

Practicing the credit card drill helps eliminate this problem:

Find a straight 8-foot putt on the practice green and drop a ball down. Go through your normal pre-shot routine, and then take your address. Once you’re set, have a friend switch the ball for a credit card, placing it square to the ball with the long sides pointing toward the hole. Now rise up, stand back, and look along the card’s long edges. These lines should bracket the hole.

If you’re off, repeat the drill, but align the credit card first. Then place the ball on top of it. Now set your putterface square to the edges of the credit card. This allows you to see what straight looks like. After a few practice sessions, you’ll get an idea of what straight really is.

Line-up The Lettering

Another method of improving alignment is perhaps the simplest of all. Find a green where you have a straight putt about 10 to 12 feet. Now drop a ball down and take your address. Align yourself as you normally would. Make sure the clubface is at right angles to the ball. Now, holding the putter tightly, kneel down behind the putter and look over the putterhead to see if you had the putter aligned correctly. If not, keep working on this until you do.

In addition, you can reduce alignment problems when playing by using an old trick that many pros use. Before putting, place a marker behind your ball. Now bend down and align the ball’s lettering so that it’s aiming directly at the hole. Go through your pre-shot routine and take your address. Make sure the putter’s sweet spot is perpendicular to the lettering on the ball before putting. If it is, you’re aligned properly.

Tiger Woods spends about 45 percent of his time on the practice green hitting short putts. That tells you how important sinking those 10 and 12 footers really is. To sink more short putts, take proper alignment seriously. Make sure you are correctly aligned on every putt, even the short ones. Sinking more short putts chop strokes off golf handicaps.
