Golf Swing, Trajectory Control

To become an advanced player the control of the trajectory of the ball must be learned. If you are using the commonly taught roll over forearm actions it will require much trial and error and also much practice.

There is another way to swing the club that due to the way the wrists and fore arms work the ball position can be adjusted to any where from opposite the left heel for high shots to 6 or more inches to the RIGHT of the right foot for extremely low shots. This can be done without changing the way that the hands are placed on the club or without any different release motions. Naturally when the ball is played that far back in the stance the swing is abruptly stopped just after impact by the collision with the earth. Since the shaft is leaning so far forward at impact the complete release would dig a deep trench.

This releasing action is only possible with a swing that does not roll the forearms through the hitting area. Rolling the fore arms does not advance the club head past the left arm, it simply rotates the club face open and closed.

As the loft of the club reduces (the longer irons) the amount that you can move the ball back also reduces, this is to say that you cannot move a 1 iron back very far since it already does not have much loft and reducing it much further is rarely if ever needed. However it is possible with this swing to turn a lob wedge into a 1 iron by placing the ball way back to the right of the right foot.

One of the tricks to doing this is to keep the club pointing at the left hip no matter where in the stance you place the ball, and naturally using the non rolling fore arm release.

Does Chitosan Help with Weight Loss?

Chitosan is a type of fiber which is made from the shells of crustaceans, such as shrimp, lobster, squid or crab. The human body does not digest fiber well, and as it passes through the digestive tract it can bind fats. This causes them to be unabsorbed, too. Since chitosan is a fiber, it was thus hypothesized that it could be effective for weight loss by reducing fat absorption.

The majority of studies done have not confirmed this, however. In fact, in the largest double-blind placebo-controlled study done with the supplement, 250 overweight individuals who received 3 mg of chitosan daily for 6 months did not show any significant weight loss when compared to those individuals in the placebo group.

Are there any adverse consequences to taking chitosan?

Yes.

It has been shown that high doses of chitosan taken over a long period of time can cause the depletion of several important minerals, such as calcium, magnesium, selenium, and vitamins A, D, E and K. Since all these are needed for bone growth, a depletion can set the stage for the development of osteoporosis.

There has also been a report of arsenic poisoning originating from chitosan supplementation. Apparently crustacean shells can contain arsenic which unknowingly can become part of the chitosan supplement. Taken over a long period of time, toxicity and eventually death can occur.

Bottom Line: Short term use of chitosan (i.e., several weeks) is more than likely not a problem. Its not likely to be much help with weight loss. Not for pregnant women and children, however!
