Golf Swing Tips - Hit Down For Perfect Iron Shots For Duffers

Golf is full of well known and long accepted axioms. Just a few are "Keep your head down", "transfer your weight" and "Driver for show and putt for dough". Another of these long held truths is the subject of this article: "hit down with your irons".  

Do you hit down with your irons or sweep them? The more accomplished players all hit down. They may not all take a divot but they all are hitting down and through the ball at the moment of impact.   When it comes to the full shot swing in golf hitting good irons shots seems to me to be the most challenging. The difficulty begins with the idea of hitting on something you want to go up. That is counter intuitive for most of us. As a result we either consciously or unconsciously try to help the ball into the air with how we use the club scooping or lifting during the swing in an effort to get the ball airborne.  

This will often cause you to hit behind the ball creating either a fat shot or a bladed shot as the club head bounces up off the ground into the middle of the ball. If decent contact is made while scooping it will often result in a too high ball flight which falls very short of the target.  

Your mission (should you decide to accept it, duffer) is to avoid the inclination to scoop or lift in an attempt to get the ball airborne.  

The proper iron shot brings the lofted clubface into the back of the ball from a slightly inside path where the leading edge of the club will contact the ground at a point just ahead of the ball. This brings the clubface into the ball in a manner that causes the ball first to be forced toward the ground where it becomes compressed between the clubface and the ground. Then it begins to roll up the clubface where the grooves impart backspin on the ball. The clubface then determines launch angle and the rapidly spinning ball along with its dimples will create aerodynamic lift.  

The more lofted the club the more backspin is created. It is the backspin that causes the ball to stop quickly once it hits the green. The short irons are most effective at stopping the ball. Good news is these shorter irons are easier to hit correctly than the longer irons.  

To achieve this downward strike of the golf ball it is vital that the shaft be leaning forward ahead of the ball at impact. Each club is built with a certain amount of forward tilt so that when the club is properly placed on the ground the shaft leans ahead of the ball. Most duffers hit the ball with the shaft leaning backwards. This ruins the function of the golf club and inevitably the shot as well.  

Hitting down therefore is the best way to maximize the engineering of the golf club and ball. When struck with the proper downward stroke the clubface, the shaft and the golf ball all work together to result in the perfect iron shot. One that travels the expected distance on the proper trajectory and stops quickly once it hits the green.  

Now what could be more perfect than that?

It Ain't How Hard You Hit - It's How Hard You Can Get Hit and Keep Moving Forward!

It was about 22 years ago when I watched my first ROCKY movie (Rocky III) and it really inspired me to get up from defeat (after failing my exams) and to train hard to become a winner in life.

Today, 22 years later, I find myself being inspired once again by Sylvestor Stallone's latest Rocky Movie (Rocky Balboa- part 6). In this latest movie, Rocky is aged 60+ and retired from boxing. One day, Rocky decides to come out of retirement and to get back into the ring. He feels the need to fight because of emotional issues that he needs to resolve within himself. Naturally, he is criticized and made fun of because he is fighting opponents half his age.

His son (a corporate executive in his 30s) is totally against the idea. His career is going nowhere and he blames his father for casting a big shadow over him. His friends make fun of him because of who his father is.

This is where the 60-year old Rocky gives his son a heart-to-heart reprimand about how he needs to stop blaming and take charge of his life. A saddened Rocky says he remembers when his son could fit in the palm of his hand.

He says that he saw great potential in him and when he first started off in life, he did great. However,at some point, he changed. He lost his way and started blaming other things and people for his own misfortune. Telling him:

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.

But it ain't about how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. . It's How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.

Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not point fingers and blame other people. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"

This movie had a huge impact on me just like the first few Rocky movies did because what was said was so true in my own life. " Its not how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

I have found that in my life, I have met so many people who were much smarter, talented and luckier than me. What made me more successful at the end of the day was my ability to get hit again and again and to keep moving forward. I never gave up. However, I know of many friends who got hit hard by life and could never find the courage to get up again. Instead, they quit dreaming and accepted a mediocre life.

There were many times in my life when I did get hit hard and felt that I had problems I could never solve. There were times when I felt that life was unfair and too painful to live. What kept me going forward was that I knew that no matter how bad, every problem will not last forever. Every recession will end. Dawn always breaks after the darkest hour. It was this belief that allowed me to keep getting up.

o When I got expelled from school at age 9, I kept moving forward
o When my parents split up when I was aged 13, I kept moving forward
o When my first girlfriend dumped me just before my major exams (and I was subsequently dumped by 2 other girls), I kept moving forward
o When everyone looked down on me because I got poor grades in school, I kept moving forward
o When my interior design business went bankrupt (Losing me $250,000), I kept moving forward
o When I lost over $300,000 in the stock market as an early amateur investor, I kept moving forward
o When my first book, 'I Am Gifted, So Are You!' was rejected by over 9 publishers, I kept moving forward
o When only 1 person signed up for my first Patterns of Excellence program 7.5 years ago, and everyone thought that my company would never make it, I kept moving forward
o When I lost all the money I made from my mobile disco business because I was cheated by a supplier I trusted, I kept moving forward

Whenever we see people achieve great things, it is easy to think that they had less problems and less obstacles than we have. That their brilliance, luck or talent gave them super human abilities to sail through life easily. That everything always goes according to plan.

I can tell you from experience that things NEVER EVER always go according to plan. 80% of the goals you set and plans you make will never go the way you want. Things will screw up and obstacles will appear that will knock you down. Its all part of the game of life.

Have you heard of George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars? On the surface, it seems this guy could do not wrong. He had the genius to create one of the most successful franchises in the world, Star Wars that made hundreds of millions of dollars.

Did you know of all the things that went wrong? When George Lucas had the vision of creating the special effects for the battle scenes, the technology did not exist at the time. That didn't stop Lucas. He set up a company, Industrial Light & Magic to invent and create the special effects needed to make Star Wars.

Did it work? Not at first. During production, everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong! At the end of sixteen weeks of filming, everyone had every reason to believe it would fail.

The equipment kept breaking down, the actors could not get along and everything that was filmed turned out lousy and had to be discarded. The movie had grossly exceeded the initial budget, it had overrun the filming schedule, the special effects unit could not create the desired special effects and everyone had the opinion that the movie was too childish.

As a result, 20th Century Fox studios (the producers) wanted to cancel the movie and fire Lucas. After Lucas begged for a chance to save the movie, they gave him three days to finish two weeks of work that was lost. It seemed like an impossible task.

What made things worse was that Lucas suffered severe chest pains in the middle of all this and was rushed to hospital for severe stress and exhaustion. Everyone thought that the movie would fail (even some of the actors didn't dare to go for the premier).

But Lucas just wouldn't quit. Lucas hired a triple filming crew, divided the film stage into three sets and directed three scenes concurrently! Within 3 days, he filmed weeks worth of scenes and finished the movie only moments before the movie premier. The rest was history!

I am sure you have heard of Honda Motor Corporation, one of the most successful automakers from Japan. Again what made Honda a success was that its founder, Soichiro Honda was able to take the hardest hits and still get up and move forward.

In 1938, while Soichiro was still in school, when he started a workshop to develop the piston ring that he hoped he could sell to Toyota. He worked 7 days a week, even sleeping in his workshop at times. When money ran out with no success, he pawned his wife's jewelry for working capital.

Finally, came the day he completed his piston ring and was able to sell it to Toyota. However, he was told that the rings did not meet their standards! Soichiro went back to school for 2 years to improve his invention only to suffer ridicule when the engineers saw his design.

He refused to quit. After two more years of struggle and improvement, he successful won the contract with Toyota. He needed to build a factory to supply Toyota. Unfortunately, his timing was bad. At this time, the Japanese government was gearing up for war and needed all the concrete for the war effort, so he could not get the concrete necessary to build his factory.

Instead of giving up, he invented a new concrete-making process that enabled him to build the factory. With the factory now built, he was ready for production, but again, his luck was bad. His factory was bombed twice by American war planes and steel became unavailable, too.

Instead of giving up, he started collecting surplus gasoline cans discarded by US fighters - "Gifts from President Truman," he called them, which became the new raw materials for his rebuilt manufacturing process. Again, his timing was bad. An earthquake hit and his factory was destroyed the third time.

After the war, an extreme gasoline shortage forced people to walk or use bicycles. Soichiro saw this opportunity and built a tiny engine and attached it to his bicycle. His neighbors wanted one, and although he tried, materials could not be found and he was unable to supply the demand. He also didn't have the money to build another factory to make these 'motorbikes'.

He still didn't quit. he wrote letters to 18,000 bicycles shop owners and asked them to pay him in advanced so he could build his factory to sell them his newly invented motorbikes. Unfortunately, the first models were too bulky to work well, so he continued to develop and adapt, until finally, 'The Super Cub' became a success and took Japan by storm. With success in Japan, Honda began exporting his bicycle engines to Europe and America.

This was how the Honda Motor Corporation was formed. Was that the end of his problems? Nope! As he ran Honda, it went into lots of financial problems. Honda also went near to bankruptcy five times, only to be turned around just in time. Everytime he took a hit, Soichiro would just get up, learn from his mistakes and keep moving forward.

Today, Honda Corporation employs over 100,000 people in the USA and Japan, and is one of the world's largest automobile companies. Honda's excellent engineering and clever marketing even resulted in Honda motorcycles out-selling Triumph and Harley-Davidson in their respective home markets.

So, the greater the success you want in life, the bigger the hits you got to be willing to take. There is a price for everything. A Suzuki costs $30,000 and a Ferrari costs $1m (at least in Singapore).

Success too has a price. The price is massive rejection, frustration, and hardwork, People never succeed either because they thought that success comes easy or because they are not willing to pay the price!

Is There A Directory Where One Can Conduct Free Reverse Email Search? The Truth Is Now Revealed

A free reverse email search is all you need to do whenever you are experiencing problems of any sort with unknown email senders. The email is good but a thousand people or more have been attacked, ripped off of their hard earned money and molested because they had email addresses that got vulnerable. If you have had problems in the past or is still having problems now with unwanted emails, you may need to conduct a free reverse email search.

However, you should know that a free reverse email search is not always reliable. This is not because of any other reason than because it is free. Free things will always have flaws and these flaws are not questionable. For instance, you can use search engines, public directories and even email address service providers to make searches for people's information but you will mostly get nothing more than insufficient information. It is only when you are lucky that you will get anything tangible like in cases when the owner of the email address has been careless enough not to cover his or her tracks online.

It is therefore better, for the sakes of authenticity and reliability of information, to use a paid reverse email lookup directory to conduct reverse email searches. Paid sites are more direct and easy to use. Since you already know you are paying for the service, there will be no surprises. Surprises such as hidden charges are what you will experience in the free sites and there could be nothing more annoying than expecting something free and having to pay for it.

To conduct a reverse email search, you will have to type in the email address of the sender into the search bar provided. Once you hit the search bar, you can wait for a little while after which you get the result. The result will include details such as the name of the owner of the email address, the current address of the owner and other details that could be helpful in your search.

You can use a reverse email search to nail cheaters and fake identities online; you can also use it to send away, for a long time to come, junk mailers, spammers and scammers alike. You can have your inbox all to yourself now; you will not have to panic every time you want to check your mail. This is the truth that all the bad guys online do not want you know but now you know it; you have a great edge.

Unfortunately even with the paid services, you can still lose money as there are those who are obviously out to con people.

To help you avoid scam, we have done a review of the best among the best reverse email lookup finder directories, you can find the review by clicking here

Hit and Run Accidents and What to Do

Hit and Run accidents are the result of one party causing damage to another party's property or person and leaving the scene before producing the proper driver documentation. A hit and run is a term used for the failure of a motorist to stop after an accident in which he is involved. It is also called leaving the scene of an accident, hit-skip, hit and run, and failure to render aid. Any person involved in an accident must provide information and render aid, if necessary. A hit and run is basically failure on the part of a driver to accept responsibility for their part in a motor accident. It is a serious offense. In 47 states it is considered a felony. In three states - Kentucky, Montana and Utah, it is a misdemeanor. A first time offender can if convicted will be required to pay the victim for damages done to the vehicle, either through his insurance company or in fines assessed by the authorities. In states where insurance points are assessed, the offender will be tacked a high number of points. If the accident cases injuries to another person, besides paying damages, the driver can lose his license and insurance. A hit and run accident can also result in the death of a person. In such cases, the driver will be guilty of a felony.

A victim of a hit and run accident can potentially recover damages for physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, additional medical costs, the loss of any physical ability, any lost earnings or any diminished earning capacity. The claim for damages must be filed within a prescribed period known as the statute of limitation. The statute of limitation varies from state to state. But the biggest problem in most hit and run cases is that the driver and the vehicle are seldom identified. If the driver and the vehicle are identified, the claim can be easily filed against the driver. But if the driver is uninsured, then the victims will have to fall back on their own auto insurance policies.

Criminal prosecution requires identification of the driver of the hit and run vehicle. If the driver and the vehicle cannot be identified, the victims must once again fall back on their own auto insurance policies if they hope to collect benefits based on the uninsured and underinsured motorists' coverage they have purchased. Such victims must then seek damages under state laws and perhaps from a third party.

Has Your Business Hit a Wall? What to Do When Business Slows Down!

I doubt that anyone reading this article hasn't at one time or another found his or her business dropping off significantly. For some unknown reason, and without any warning, everything seems to stop. The phone stops ringing, your e-mail box has nothing but advertisements and it appears as if your business has come to an end. What happened and even more important what should you do when it appears as if your business has hit a wall?

Whatever We Focus Our Attention On Expands!

Usually, our first reaction to a drop in business is to panic putting all of our attention on what isn't working. We immediately start worrying and complaining, commiserating with others who may be experiencing a similar situation. Although it's a natural reaction, it's actually the worst thing you can do. Why? Because there is a powerful premise that says: "Whatever we focus our attention on expands." Ponder that for just a moment. Have you noticed that every time you pay strict attention to what isn't working, it just seems to get bigger? Whether you believe it or not, the fact remains that when we put our attention on what isn't working, it seems that things get worse. Yet when we put our attention on what is working, it seems that things quickly improve. Changing your state of mind alters the circumstances.

The Tide Comes in and the Tide Goes Out!

One of the important lessons I've learned through the years is that predictably business will have its ups and downs. The tide comes in and the tide goes out. As a person who enjoys my work immeasurably, when I first began my writing business, I would become terrified if the phone stopped ringing. I couldn't figure out what happened and thought I needed to do something quickly to alter the situation. But once I learned that the ebbs and flows are natural, I made it a point to choose a different approach. Instead of staring at the pot of water waiting for it to boil, I started learning how to release the situation and put my mind on something else. As soon as I was really able to let go, things shifted. Either a new idea occurred to me, past clients contacted me out of the blue, new clients appeared or I simply decided it was time for a rest.

Prime the Pump!

Now whenever those quiet times occur, which are less and less frequent, I simply do my best to relax. By changing my focus and remembering all of the above, new ideas bubble up and I start to feel more creative. In fact during a recent quiet period I was inspired to donate my writing of a bio to a charity. Just as we need to prime the pump by adding a little water to it, I realized that giving some of my services away as a gift was a good way to get things moving again. It immediately changed the energy around my situation.

Taking Action!

But if you're like most of the online entrepreneurs who prefer to take action while waiting for things to shift, I suggest doing some simple things that don't put any pressure on you but give you a sense of accomplishment. The following few ideas can easily be applied during the down times.

1. Write an article and submit it to a popular publication. Nothing will give you quite the same sense of achievement as seeing an article you've written in print plus it's one of the more positive things to do when you aren't very busy. Just about everyone has something they've learned through their experiences that others would love to know about. Share it in an article and you'll be amazed at how quickly the tide turns.

2. Write a press release and distribute it through one of the free press release distribution services. Often smaller companies think a press release is only for the big guys and hold back from using the media. But press releases are for everyone. Several of my clients have put out a press release and had overwhelming results they never expected.

3. Narrow your focus. When one of my clients found her business slowing down, she decided it was time to try a new tactic. She had been spending a lot of money on advertisements that weren't working for her, plus her site wasn't getting the amount of traffic she expected. Instead of focusing her attention on trying to reach everyone, she started putting attention only in places that were associated with her particular industry. She found that once she began focusing specifically on her arena many more people started visiting her site and business started picking up.

4. Try networking. We often forget that there are a lot of people who would be delighted to join forces with us by linking to our sites or referring us to someone they know. Recently, I made a connection with someone who aligned perfectly with my business. After communicating with him via e-mail I found that his site and services were very complimentary to my services. I then suggested to him that we add each other to our sites, which is exactly what we've done. The added exposure that we can provide each other has been extremely beneficial

5. Update your web site. Although your web site presentation has appeared online for quite a while, and you have realized a degree of success, perhaps it's possible that your site needs some refreshing or revamping. Try looking at your web site from an objective viewpoint, almost as if you're seeing it for the very first time. Review it carefully and notice if it still appeals to your eye and your ear. If not, add a new article, change the verbiage or add some new pictures. Figure out a way to optimize your site by adding search engine friendly content so that more people will find you. You don't necessarily have to change your site, but simply update it while you're waiting.

6. Visit past successes. Now may be a good time to stop by and say hello to clients from the past. They may have forgotten your e-mail address and might be in need of your services again. Or if someone has been happy with your services, ask if they would be willing to recommend you and suggest that you will pay them a small finder's fee for anyone who becomes a paid referral. Maintaining good relationships with your past clients and customers is a great way of keeping your business flowing.

Just because you aren't busy for the moment doesn't mean that all of your hard work has come to an end. In fact this may very well be a great time for contemplation. Instead of scrambling to quickly drum up more business or fretting about the lack of income, perhaps this is the time to be still as you consider some new strategies. Before making a judgment about your quiet time, why not use it as an opportunity for expansion and growth?

Fun Volleyball Drills

One challenge that every sports coach eventually must face is making practices fun. While repetitive drills are necessary for building skill and muscle memory, when players become accustomed to certain drills they are more inclined to turn their minds off and go through the motions. Instead, coaches must continually rotate drills and add fun and exciting new ones to their practice line up to keep players focused and sharp. Feel free to use one of the following fun volleyball drills at your next practice to break up the routine and challenge your players in new ways.

Bingo Volleyball

For the first of these fun volleyball drills you will need a large sheet of white paper and a black marker. Begin by brainstorming a list of some of the crucial skills and moves that your players need help with such as perfect dig, block, spike, etc. Once you've come up with at least 25 draw a bingo card on the sheet of paper, filling each of the squares with one of the skills and post it next to the court.

Now divide your team into groups of six for scrimmage. The teams play against each other as if it were a regular match with one key difference: each time they successfully execute one of the aforementioned moves, they earn that spot on the bingo card. Players must call the move before the execute it to earn the spot on the card.

The goal is to make a line of 5, at which point all members of the team must yell "Bingo". This game causes players to come up with a game plan that successfully incorporates the necessary moves to make a line of 5, which can often be radically different from their normal game plan.

Hit the Deck!

When searching for fun volleyball drills remember that the emphasis does not always have to be on hitting the ball. Volleyball requires many other skills that are often less recognized, such as the ability to drop and hit the floor without fear or hesitation. The following drill, which we call "Hit the Deck", will help your players overcome that hesitation.

Begin by having your players jog on the spot. Either at the sound of your whistle or when you yell the words "Hit the Deck", all players must drop to the floor instantly. If you'd like to up the competitive spirit of the drill, you can enforce a rule where the last player to hit the floor is out.

Building Defensive Toughness

The third of the fun volleyball drills I like to use to change up my practice routines is a simple variation on 2-on-6. For this drill, one team has 6 players and the other has only 2. To begin with, have the strongest players on your team as the outnumbered ones.

The 6-player team begins by serving the ball within two steps of a member of the 2-player team. The goal is not to try and humiliate the 2-player team; rather the goal is to have them get down and play defense. You'll really begin to notice your players develop their defensive toughness after running the fun drill at a couple of your practices.

How to Hit Longer Drives

A longer drive off the tee is something every golfer desires. Adding 10 or 20 or even more yards to your tee-shot can dramatically shave strokes off of your game and that is the focus of this short golf lesson.

Whether you're playing golf for money as a professional, for bragging rights or just for fun, an extra ten to twenty yards with your driver can vastly improve your ability to score well. You might be a long hitter already or you might be a player who doesn't hit it long yet, but you can add at least 10 yards to your drive easily with a simple drill that anyone can learn to practice.

For those of you, who often grab your 3-Wood or use an iron off the tee because you're afraid of going for the long ball, listen up. I understand your pain! It is extremely frustrating to try and hit a perfect driver only to be deep in the rough to left or the right of the fairway or who-the-heck knows where.

But before you give up on it and convince yourself that real golfers "Drive for show, and putt for dough" listen to what Greg Norman had to say about the subject: In his book SHARK ATTACK he wrote, "Don't ever sell me on that line. If you can't put your tee-shot in play, the smoothest stroke in the world won't help you enough. To my mind, the most important shot in golf is the drive".

Alright then, let's get started. Grab your driver and put on your normal grip.

Now release the last 3 fingers on each hand (for those of you slow learners like me, we're talking about the pinky, ring and middle finger on each hand). You should now have only the index finger (pointer) and thumb of each hand on the club.

With your left thumb and pointer, start your swing by pushing the left side of the grip back, adding just a bit of shoulder and hip turn.

Notice how the driver head extends naturally back along the target line and the toe of the club is pointing up. Your swing will now be on line and on plane and will automatically give you the right feel and easily add more than 10 yards to your tee shots with greater accuracy.

Keep drilling this until you really get the feel for it. Start slow with the driver and practice with all of your clubs. Keep this slow pace and visualize what it is you are doing. When done correctly, repeatedly and with focus, your body will remember what to do and you'll be getting the clubface in proper position time and again.

Make sure to start with your hands and then add your shoulders and hips naturally.

Too much shoulders takes the clubhead back on a shallow plane, that's why starting the club back with just your index finger and thumb, prevents you from manipulating the club off plane and helps the club extend back on that natural arc we're all looking for in order to stay on plane.

I just know that if you spend a few minutes working on this you will reap the benefits pretty quickly and start adding 10, 20 or more yards to your driver with greater accuracy.

Thanks for reading, good luck and good golfing.

Free Ringtones By Text

The telecom boom has got with it various innovative ways of offering new forms of entertainment. The most common feature that users demand is ringtones. A ringtone is just an alert to an incoming call or an SMS text message. But the mobile service providers have gone one step ahead in order to popularize their business and provide innovative ringtones to their subscribers. This has indeed lead to a great boost in the mobile phone business.

Initially, when the ringtones could not be downloaded directly from the Internet and the market penetration was less than it is now, ringtones would be passed on to users via text messages. It's still a very simple and easy form of sending ringtones, especially as many users still use old handsets. And with the popularity of this feature, it has evolved from a paid service to a free add-on feature to users.

The procedure for getting ringtones via text message is very simple. The service providers use a SMS number wherein any subscriber can send an SMS along with a 4-digit code of the requested ringtone. Once this SMS is sent, the service provider forwards the ringtone as a text message attachment to the user. The user then installs it on his or her handset and is free to use it as their ringtone. The users can also forward the same SMS to their friends. This is like a chain reaction and has lead to a phenomenal rise in the business of mobile service providers. It still remains a very popular way of sending ringtones around. But the only catch is that the user who originally requests the tone has to pay for it. However, from there, all the others who get it from the original user get it for free. So whole nothing in the world comes completely free, this is a case where it comes pretty close.

FreeRingtonesNow.net is a website that offers visitors the ability to find free ringtones and free ringers.

How Much Does a Toll-Free Number Cost?

Back in the days when land lines were the major component of communication, businesses used toll-free numbers to allow their customers to call at no personal cost. This was a big hit with the buying public, but the cost to businesses was very high. Fortunately, increased competition from cell phone companies with no long-distance charges brought the cost of toll-free numbers down significantly.

What is a Toll Free Number?

Whenever you call an 800 number, you are calling a number that is toll-free. The owner of the number is the one that gets billed for the call. Whenever we hear toll-free, we think of the 800 area code. While it is true that the area code 800 is always a toll-free phone number, there are several other area codes that are reserved for toll-free status as well. Other toll free area codes include: 888, 877, 866 numbers that are in use now. Other toll-free area codes are reserved for future use, and they include: 844, 833, and 822.

How Do You Know the Price?

Many years ago, you only had one choice for your 800 service. Things have changed these days. You can still choose to get service or your local phone company, or you can choose from a large number of telephone companies that offer toll-free service.

If you type the words "toll-free phone number" into any search engine, you will get many pages of telephone companies advertising their services. Many times right in the ad, the company will display costs for their services. Prices range from $9.99 per month and up depending on the numbers of perks that you want included in your plan.

The best way to find the best price is to talk to all of them. At least talk to several companies before you choose the right one for your business needs. Keep in mind that you need to compare all options offered with each company, as well as price to make up your mind. Once you decide which company you want, they can take care of getting your phone number and all of your service connected for you.

Do You Really Need a Toll-Free Phone Number?

Only you can decide if the benefits of having a toll-free number are worth it for your business. There are some advantages that are worth noting. The number is portable, so if you move, the number follows you around the country. You will get a better response to any advertising when you post a toll-free telephone number. Your customers like a business that doesn't charge them for telephone calls. Businesses that have toll-free numbers tend to have a better professional image and businesses that don't. It's all about credibility. A toll-free number will give you a little extra credibility with your customers.

To recap, do your research on several different companies to find the best deal for your toll-free telephone number. Compare prices, features, and benefits offered with all of the different plans.

Find a low cost toll-free number for business or personal use.

Free Girls Softball Fastpitch Drills

Any softball coach or player who wants to learn more softball drills can easily find a lot of drills in books and videos and on the internet. Most of these drills cost money but some of them are free. These free girls softball fastpitch drills are very good. Most of the free drills focus on throwing, fielding, and hitting the ball.

Throwing the Ball

The position of a player determines the most common types of throws that player will have to make. For example, a 3rd baseman will need to make hard throws all the way across the diamond to 1st base while a right fielder will most commonly have to make a longer throw from the outfield to a cut-off man near the infield or to a base.

The Before Inning Warm-up Drill

All softball coaches and players know what players do before an inning begins. The first baseman throws a grounder to each infielder while the outfielder stands in their positions and play catch. This is a common drill during games but it should also be performed everyday in practice.

The Relay Throws Drill

The Relay Throws Drill is another one of the good free girls softball fastpitch drills. This drill involves 2 outfields lining up on each side of an infielder. Each player should be about 100 feet apart.

One of the outfielders starts out with the ball and throws the infielder the ball using the crow-hop. The infielder catches the ball, pivots, and uses the crow-hop while throwing the ball to the other outfielder. That outfielder catches the ball and then throws back to the infielder, once again using the crow-hop.

This drill allows all 3 players to practice throwing using a crow-hop. It also helps teach the outfielders to hit the cutoff man. Finally, it helps the infielder practice receiving the cutoff throw, pivoting, and throwing to the desired base.

Fielding

It doesn't matter how well a team can hit and pitch if the team can't play good defense in the field. The key to playing good defense is for every player to be fundamentally sound. A great drill for this the No Glove Fielding Drill.

The No Glove Fielding Drill

Just as the name suggests, this fastpitch softball drill requires players to field the ball without a glove. The drill can be run with bare hands or with a board that is specially made for the drill and worn on the fielders' glove hand.

Players can either field balls hit to them by the coach (more advanced) or they can field balls rolled to them. They need to concentrate on keeping their upper bodies square with the ball (get in front of the ball), bending at the knees, and cradling the ball with two hands into their body.

Once players master the technique of fielding without a glove then they will find fielding with a glove much easier.

Hitting

The only way for a player to get better with hitting the ball is for them to actually hit. Players can either hit a ball off a tee (to work on the basics) or they can hit pitches. Also, a part of hitting that is often overlooked is bunting. Players should be required to lay down at least 3 bunts every time they take batting practice (BP). If possible, players should take BP every practice and before every game.

Look for Free Girls Fastpitch Softball Drills

Softball players need to be drilled on the basics of the game (throwing, fielding, and hitting) as often as possible. Any coach or player who is looking for drills to do can easily find them. In fact, there are a great many free girls softball fastpitch drills on the internet.

Email Address Tips - The Difference Between CC and BCC

Email is pretty straight forward. You type what you want to send, add the address of the person you wish to receive your message, and then you click the send button. In a matter of seconds, that person can then click on that message in their inbox and read what you have to say. There are other features on email however, that can be both extremely useful and also very dangerous. You should be sure you know how to use these features, especially the BCC and CC options.

Some people make huge mistakes when sending out emails. These could be business related, but they can also be about personal matters as well. There are times when people choose to send out mass emails. These are going to more than one person. The mistake some make is made when they reply to that email with something less than favorable to say. Instead of hitting the 'reply' button, they hit the 'reply all' button. When they do that, what they have to say goes to everyone on the list rather than just the sender. Almost everyone makes this mistake at least once.

CC on email is much like CC on business letter communications. This means carbon copy. When you add email addresses to this field in your email, you are sending a carbon copy of that email to each address. These addresses are going to be visible to everyone that gets the email. If you sent an email to your boss, his or her boss, and the company accountant, each will know that. Keep that in mind when you use this useful function.

BCC is not quite the same. This is something that does the same thing but does not work in the same way. You can add email addresses to this field and each will get a copy of that email.

However, the difference with BCC (blind carbon copy) is that the people getting the email will not see the addresses of those other recipients. This can be used when you need to know someone has seen what you have sent, but you don't want the person getting that email to know it. It is also used to protect the privacy of email addresses so that they are not presented to others who have no business having them.

When you see an email address in the CC field that you do not know, and you want to know who that person might be, you can do some online research to find out more. Some addresses are searchable and some are not, but you won't know until you search. Try a free email address search to see what comes up with your query.

Never Hit a Dog When Dog Training

You should not EVER hit a dog for any reason at all. Hitting does NOT teach the dog anything other than to fear you, and obedience is born of love, not fear. Not only will hitting not work, but it is completely counterproductive to effective dog training of any kind.

In order to effectively train a dog, you must learn to understand how a dog thinks - and yes, they DO think.

First of all, dogs are pack animals. That is their nature. Dogs do not expect to live in a democratic society in which everybody gets a vote. From a dog's point of view, it is absolutely essential that the "pack" (and the dog views the family as his pack) have a leader - a boss - an ALPHA dog. The alpha dog is in charge of the pack. The alpha dog makes the decisions for the pack and keeps the pack safe. It's a "dog" thing that you do need to understand.

Unless you are the alpha dog, the dog WILL become the alpha dog. He will nip at his other pack members. He may snarl, growl, and otherwise show the others that he IS in charge. So first of all, you must establish your position as alpha dog, but you don't do it by hitting the dog. Hitting is not a language that a dog understands.

When the dog misbehaves or transgresses, simply stop the behavior and roll him over onto his back. Hold him there and stand over him while saying "NO" firmly and in a forceful TONE of voice. Volume doesn't count. The only thing that matters is TONE. The next thing to do is show him what the correct and acceptable behavior is and then lavish praise on him when he complies.

How to Hit Your Irons - Broken Down Into Five Easy Steps (These Worked For Me)

Learn how to hit your irons effectively when you break down the swing into five workable parts. Many average golfers usually have one or more areas of their swings that is causing issues. I had a problem with a wicked slice and could not hit an iron to save my life.

I thought I could just play through my swing issues but man I was wrong. I finally got sick and tired of sucking at golf plane and simple. I finally got help with correcting my slice and learning how to hit my irons. Here is the five parts of a golf swing that when cleaned up will help eliminate your swing issues.

1. Setup is step number one. When addressing the ball it is important to remain relaxed and tense free. You should have a slight bend in the knees with your back straight while you bend at the hips. The position of the ball is important to playing well. The longer the irons the further toward the lead foot the ball should be placed. For wedges and short irons the ball should be toward the trailing foot.

2. The grip should be loose because a grip that is too tight will cause you to miss hit the ball. I always had too tight of a grip which caused miss hits and my hands to hurt by the time I got to the back nine. Just loosening my grip took seven strokes of my game.

3. The back swing should be slow and steady and not fast and jerky. Take the club back straight until the club shaft hits 9 o' clock and then begin to coil the upper body, keep the lead elbow straight and keep your eye on the ball.

4. The down swing should start with your weight being transferred onto the front or lead foot. The weight transfer should start always with the hips and not the shoulders and arms. Furthermore, keep the trailing elbow tucked close to your side.

5. The follow through will tell you a lot about how you are hitting the ball. Your swing should be a sweeping motion and the follow through should finish your swing arch.

Fixing your golf swing issues are easier to do when you break the swing into five parts to understand why you miss hit the ball. Once you understand why you miss hit take the next step and get help to eliminate them.

Hit the Right Note by Understanding Your Vocal Range

Your vocal range is something that you must be familiar with when you are serious about becoming a singer. Your range will help you to find songs that suit your voice and will enable you to perform at the best of your abilities. Understanding what vocal range is will help guide you to being the best performer possible.

Discover your Vocal Range. Your singing range is the range of notes that you can hit when singing. For some people, their range may span many octaves, while others may find their it a bit limited. This is not a concern, though, as you can work with yourrange to help get the most from your abilities. You have to start, though, by finding out what your vocal range is.

It is easiest to start at the piano. Start with middle C and sing the notes as they are played on the piano. You will sing as high and as low as possible. Make sure to note the highest and lowest notes that you hit. It is important to note that you should only consider notes that you can comfortably sing as being part of your range. If you must strain then you have gone too low or too high.

Now to get your vocal range you will count the number of octaves that you sang. An octave consists of 7 notes. For each group of notes you sing one octave. The number of octaves is your range. Keep in mind that this is just a starting point. As you mature and go through training you can expand your vocal range, so that you can make full use of the notes you can sing.

Extending Your Vocal Range. Obviously, being able to hit more notes confidently will allow you more options in the type of songs you can sing and help keep you from being limited due to your range. You can expand upon your range through proper work and training. You should know that by saying 'expand your range' this does not mean allowing you to hit higher octaves. Your singing range is set and cannot be changed. Expanding your range is more about building strength and confidence within your vocal range.

When extending a persons range the work is focused on helping you to be able to clearly and comfortably sing the notes at both the bottom and top of your range. Your goal is to end up being able to sing those notes as clearly as you do the notes in the middle of your range.

Improving upon your range is more about being able to hit every note in your vocal range with conviction. Thus, you are able to sing any song within your range with clarity and without struggling to reach those notes at the ends of your range.

When you can sing your complete range without struggle you have the ability to choose a wider variety of songs and to put on performances with confidence. You will find that you become more stable in your singing and that your overall abilities get better because you are just more self assured about your singing abilities.

Skyler Jett is a prolific singer, songwriter and producer. He has worked with many top musicians, such as Stevie Wonder, Celine Dion and Aretha Franklin. Skyler started singing in church and fell in love with jazz and R&B at an early age. According to him understanding your vocal range is the first step to becoming a great singer.
