Backswing Like A Pro

The golf backswing can be a mysterious, but important part of the game even to beginners. There are different styles of backswing on the PGA Tour, but there is one thing that is common between all, the best players get their upper bodies fully turned, with hands as far from the head as possible and clubface sitting on the same angle as their left arm. Without the body loaded correctly during the early stages of the golf backswing, any golfer will tend to over swing as their brains don't have a sense of muscular tension that would signal the beginning of the downswing.

Golf Tournaments

During Golf Tournaments, even experienced golfers are in some cases humbled by a bad swing. There is nothing more troubling than a golf ball gone wild to remind a player that they have become out of practice. There are a couple of simple things you can do to achieve that perfect backswing:

• Position your body so that your feet are shoulder length apart. When you position your body like this, you will be able to easily shift your weight as you swing your golf club.
• You simply hold a club up at waist high, remove your left hand, and then hinge the right arm at the elbow to cock the club up and over the tip of your right shoulder.
• Turn your shoulders and upper body away from the target until the right forearm is to the right of your body.
• The right elbow again pointing at your right hip. Finally, reach across and replace your left hand on the grip.
  • Do not race back or jerk the club away too quick. Instead you want to stay in balance and turn around your spines axis.
  • Through repetition your body begins to recognize and respond automatically to the sensations involved in putting together a naturally correct and symmetrical backswing.

A Brief History Of The Interesting Game of Basketball

Basketball is a team sport, where the objective of each team being to shoot a ball through a horizontally positioned basket to score points, within a set of well-defined rules. The measurements and time limits may vary according to the format of the game. Usually, two teams of five players play on a marked rectangular court with a basket at each shorter end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports across the whole world. One reason for this popularity could be the fact that a basketball match is shorter than most other sports, taking less than an hour of actual playing time. Another reason could be that the game is fast paced and rarely is there a dull moment during a match between well-balanced teams.

It is said that the game is the brainchild of a 19th century physical education professor and instructor who devised it as a vigorous indoor game to keep his students occupied and fit during the long winters. Dr. James Naismith attached a peach basket to a 10 ft. elevated track into which students threw soccer balls. Unlike the present-day baskets used in NBA events, the peach basket retained its bottom till players realized that retrieving the ball from the basket after each successful shoot was an activity that was not very enjoyable.

The game evolved into the present day format in the following year, with many more people contributing to or editing the rules first written by Dr. Naismith. The peach baskets came to be replaced by metal hoops during the first decade of the 20th century. The ball used in the game, right from high-school basketball to international events like the Euroleague, also evolved to the present-day orange ball during the late 1950s so as to allow the ball to be visible from all corners of the stadium.

The global popularity of the sport is reflected in the nationalities represented in the NBA. Players from all six inhabited continents currently play in the NBA. Top international players began coming into the NBA in the mid-1990s. The extremely popular NBA Playoffs is an elimination tournament among sixteen teams in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference, which decides the final four teams who will play in the Conference Finals.

The Latest From The NBA – Kobe Bryant passing Wilt Chamberlain (Los Angeles Lakers Vs. Sacramento Kings)

The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the best in men's professional basketball league and one of the Big Four major sports leagues in North America. It has thirty franchised member clubs (29 in the United States and 1 in Canada). The NBA is widely considered to be the chief men's professional basketball league in the world. It is an active member of USA Basketball (USAB), which is recognized by FIBA (aka the International Basketball Federation), as the national governing body for basketball in the United States. It has the distinction of having players that are some of the world's best paid sportsmen (by average annual salary per player).

The NBA playoffs aim at determining the champion team begins in late April. These follow a tournament format.Each team plays an opponent in a best-of-seven series, with the first team to win four games advancing into the next round, while the other team is eliminated from the playoffs. The final playoff round is known as the NBA Finals, and is held annually in June. The victor in the NBA Finals wins the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. Each player and major contributor—including coaches and the general manager—on the winning team receive a championship ring. In addition, the league awards the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award to the best performing player of the series.

One of the stars of the NBA, Kobe Bryant joined the Lakers in 1996 and has won 3 NBA Championships in a row from 2000-2002. He also won the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award in his 13th season, in 2009 and is a sure shot to join the Hall of Fame of the NBA.

Recently, Kobe Bryant made a piece of history by overtaking Wilt Chamberlain (who had amassed an impressive 31,419 points in his sensational career) to move to the 4^th position on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. Kobe achieved this feat in a game where he scored 19 points against the Sacramento Kings on March 30^th, 2013. The Lakers defeated the Kings 103-98 in this historical match. What made the win even more sensational was the fact that the Lakers were not poised to win even till half-time. They were trailing by 12 points after the first quarter and reduced the point difference to 4 at half time. Dwight Howard contributed to the win with 24 points while Pau Gasol put in a solid performance scoring 12 points. On the Kings team, the top scorers were Evans (21 points) and Cousins (19 points). Although it was only a regular season encounter between these two California teams, this match will have its place in the history of sports news given the significance of Bryant passing Chamberlain’s milestone.

Grand Prix – The Racing Events That Make Audiences Go Wild

Formula 1 is a racing phenomenon that is broadcast in each and every country in the world. Only the Football World Cup surpasses it in popularity and viewership. All the teams have great fans, at least in their own countries, not to mention those who cheer for the team they feel is the best, regardless of which country they belong to. For example, Ferrari is popular not only in Italy. There are many other nationals who cheer for Ferrari, even if their own countrymen are driving another car in the competition. The same goes for BMW from Germany and McLaren from UK. Ferrari, BMW and McLaren are the most popular teams in all the Grand Prix events.

The reason for the popularity of F1 racing could be due to the futuristically designed, customized and highly priced cars that are used in the races. Another probable reason is the high and strict standards that all these cars and drivers have to comply with so as to be able to qualify for these championships. The Grand Prix is a series of races that are run on tailor made courses or sometimes even on public roads – both of which are strategically designed to have deep right and left turns. Some of these world famous circuits around the world are the streets in big cities.

The MotoGP is another world class racing event for four-stroke bikes. These Grand Prix motorcycles are custom-built racing machines that are neither available for purchase by the general public nor can be ridden legally on public roads. It was started in the year 1949 and has risen to a popular sport. The Riders' World Championship is awarded to the most successful rider over a season, as determined by a points system based on Grand Prix results.

When these racing events are being held in any part of the world, they easily eclipse all other kind of sports news. The thrill of watching an F1 or MotoGP race in person is unparalleled. Even if you are following the series on the television or on a website, these races are sure to give you a nail-biting finish.Regardless of what attracts you to the sport, could be the high speeds, or the 4 and 5 Gs pulled by courageous and calculative F1 drivers, races are the most thrilling of sports to get addicted to.

The Wimbledon Story

My family has always loved sports, some of us prefer cricket and some are passionate about soccer news, but what draws the entire family to the TV is no doubt –Tennis. It was during one of those nerve wrecking moments that my three year old wanted to know about the genesis of Wimbledon.  As I opened my mouth to wax lyrical about how it all began at Wimbledon, I was startled to realize that I had no clue! Hence my little dig into the past and this humble attempt at keying some interesting tidbits for the tennis fans.

The Wimbledon story says that since the Middle ages, monks and kings are believed to have played a game that was a lot like tennis. However, it was the 19^th century by the time tennis acquired the form we recognize today. In about 1873, an Englishman adapted the indoor tennis to be played on grass, giving it a tongue twister of a name “sphairistike” after a Greek game.  The game quickly grew in popularity but the burning question was -how it was to be played?  The All England Croquet Club located near Wimbledon decided to answer this by holding the first tennis championship. The real reason behind this championship was to raise money to buy a pony drawn roller for its croquet lawns! Never would the organizers of this championship have dreamt that within some years, those very same croquet lawns would be all but obsolete, with tennis becoming the fore runner with the world agog for the latest tennis news!

This Championship saw a young 27 year old local surveyor, Spencer Gore taking the first gentlemen’s single title in 1877. In a final that was delayed for days by rain, Gore easily won the match in less than 50 minutes before a crowd of 200 spectators who had paid a shilling each to watch the match. What was most surprising is the fact that the first champion wasn’t too impressed with the game himself, he much preferred cricket over it. What’s more, he was of the opinion that lawn tennis was a bit borings and would not catch on!

Tennis, however, didn’t only “catch on”, it soon spread like wild fire. The All England Croquet Club went on to drop the “Croquet” out of their name, but for sentimental reasons, it was restored. Even today, among the lush tennis lawns, there exists a croquet lawn.

The Wimbledon Championship is the oldest tennis championship in the world and is informally known as the “British Opens.” It is considered the most prestigious and the biggest of all tennis tournaments, and has witnessed great tennis action immortalized forever in the form of some amazing sports videos. Wimbledon remains the only one Major, where the game is still played on grass, the original surface of the game which gave its name of “lawn tennis”. Some traditions which mark this Championship, setting it apart from all other championships is the eating of strawberries and cream by the spectators and Royals, a strict dress code for the competitors and a distinct lack of sponsorship advertising around the court.
