Golf enters a new age in gaming with the ps4
A new PS 4 could be arriving in as little as 11 months away according to an insider. The secret hardware will include the same chipset as the current PS3 but where it will differ from the current model is in the drive bay and in the attachment area. It will also include an extensive software suite for the managing of content being streamed to a TV or Hi Fi source.
In addition Sony is working on improving the output experience so that the device can become a true home entertainment centre eliminating the need for a media centre. “We have even looked at a Sony home server based on Playstation technology. This would allow consumers to connect home automation devices to the Sony server while also delivering online gaming and access to an extensive movie and music library” said one Sony source. There appears to be a great golf lineup prepared for this new ps4 and the golfers are in line to make their appearances.
Ken Kutaragdi, the retiring CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment said in an interview last week that he clearly understands how the PlayStation game consoles should evolve in the next three generations, or fifteen to twenty years from now. He also said that in future it will be possible to create fully Internet-based game consoles.
“As a matter of course, I have the vision of PlayStation 4, 5 and 6, which will merge into the network,” Mr. Kutaragi said. Earlier this year when Kazuo Hirai became the second president of SCEI and chief operating officer, some analysts said that Sony may not launch yet another game console and the PlayStation 3 may become the last one. On this Mr. Kutaragi, who is also known as “the father of PlayStation”, says that future consoles may be network-based, which automatically reduces the cost to build such machines. EAgames is prepared to launch its major golfing platform as quickly as they can so that golfers can get their hands on the latest golf offerings.
“The design concept of the Cell processor is the network processor,” Mr. Kutaragi said. “When the PS3 was introduced last year, the network environment was not ready for a net-based game console. Now it has become possible, so why not enter?”
The outgoing leader has faced a lot of criticism from observers for the PlayStation 3, the latest game console by Sony Group, as the machine is expensive to manufacture despite of the fact that initial batch of games are unlikely to become bestsellers. At the same time, technical advantages of the arch-rival – Microsoft Xbox 360 – and difficulty to develop games for the Cell processor used in the PlayStation 3 have resulted in losing exclusive titles with game developers.
Kazuo Hirai, who is believed to have better relations with game developers than Ken Kutaragi may fit very well into the Internet-based game console strategy, as technical capabilities of game consoles may play much less significant role going forward. Golfing will be taken to a whole new level with this addition, lets look forward to getting our offline golf and putting fix soon!

Golf Swing Timing
Understand Golf Swing Timing Techniques
You might be asking…. What is golf swing timing?
This is when the mechanical movements performed in the swing are in perfect timing with each other delivering maximum club head speed through the ball.
When your timing is good it feels like you have ample time to hit the ball. Bad timing always feels like you’re rushing.
Timing and rhythm is greatly affected by incorrect hand and body motion. We want the body moving together with the hands, and not independently of each other.
The hinging of the wrists on the back swing will unhinge on the down swing at the correct time without any conscious effort of you trying to do so.
Keeping the speed of your swing constant is a big key to better swing timing.
Common problems that wreck the golf swing timing for the average golfer are,
|
too much tension in the upper body,
rushing the takeaway with the hands,
and pulling with the arms and hands from the top of the back swing.
Upper Body
Tension in the upper body will kill your golf swing timing. It is imperative that the shoulders stay passive during the swing.
Relax your grip and allow the club head to dictate to your hands. This will give you the freedom to let you accelerate the club head through the ball with the hands.
The Takeaway
Try to be aware of the weight of the club head in the
takeaway.
This will help you start your swing with a sense of rhythm and timing. You need to be more deliberate in
the speed of your take away and feeling the club head.Any quick or jerky motion with the hands at the start of the swing will destroy your feel for the timing and
rhythm in the swing.
It is critical to feel the weight of the club head to get any proper golf swing timing and let the backward motion of your arms assist the cocking of your wrists upwards.
The wrists will stay fully cocked to the top of the back swing till half way into the down swing . Here they are fully cocked still when my hands are parallel
to my hips.This position of the arms and club forming the letter L has been created from the lower body unwinding from it’s turn, shifting the weight left, and turning toward the target.
The wrists are now in the perfect position to unhinge and rotate themselves into the ball for a perfectly timed strike.
The hands are now going to accelerate the club
head through the ball picking up more speed.
This is the very essence of timing. Average golfers, especially women, experience the unhinging of the wrists too early before impact, creating a
deceleration of the club head before it meets the ball.The mental perception of this action stems from hitting at the ball instead of accelerating through it.
These golfers seldom have a good high finish.
Over swinging in the back swing creates an action of unhinging the wrists too early and hitting at the ball instead of through it. Your power and timing will always dissipate at impact with an over swing.
After impactIn a good player the wrists unhinge at approximately waist high and begin to accelerate the hands into impact, creating more club head speed after the ball is struck.
The mental perception here is accelerating the club head through impact, this is easily done by shortening the back swing to a three quarter length.
This action brings about the anti clock wise rotation of the arms and hands through the ball.
It is worth understanding the differences in these two actions and applying the correct one if you wish to develop good golf swing timing, rhythm, and more
distance.
The best way to incorporate these changes
into your swing is to work on the movements slowly till you build the feel for them.Once you have the feel, practice the whole swing
with those feelings you have learned.
