How do you get on hitting your ball from hard pan? Goodness, I used to lose some shots from his type of lie. I just didnt have a clue. Then, one day, I read how to do it and it became easy.

That is what I want to tell you today.

The first thing to do is to hit down onto the ball. If you hit your shots in a scooping motion, you will have great difficulty from such a lie. It is not a difficult shot as long as you know how to go about it. Set up with your ball opposite your right big toe. You have to hit down on the ball and make sure your pinch it cleanly between the club and the ground. Setting your ball so far back in your stance makes it easier to hit down on the ball and hit it cleanly.

Keep you head still and watch the ball. This is vital.

This will get the ball up and flying. The important factor is to let the loft of your club get the ball into the air. As mentioned, if you try to scoop, you will fail. You know how you keep your hands in front of the ball when you make a chip. Well, you follow the same mechanics here.

You make sure your keep your hands in front of the club face during contact and until after you have hit your ball.

Keep your wrists firm, as you do when you chip. When you do this, you havent got to think of the hard lie. You just have to change your technique a little and the result will be as desired.

Practice it a bit and you should soon add this shot to your arsenal.

Now you have to hit your ball over some trees to get out of your trouble spot. There are a couple of minor adjustments to allow you to get your ball up quickly.

The first thing, of course, is to use a club with enough loft to clear the obstacle. Dont be greedy and try for more distance than is reasonable.

Always remember, it is most important to get your ball back into play with no dropped shots.

Open your club face slightly, and be prepared for a fade as a result. The more you move the ball forward in your stance, the quicker and steeper it will rise. So, move the ball forward in your stance and make sure you get your club face under the ball.

If you are really close to a bush and have to get your ball into the air quickly, have the ball opposite your left big toe, and hit with your wrists to get the club head under the ball. The ball will go almost straight up into the air. You will get over, but you will not get much distance obviously. What about when you are in a situation in the trees, or near some bush on the side of the fairway where you have a very restricted swing? You know that if you make good contact with the ball you will be able to hit it far enough to get it back onto the fairway and into play.

However, the problem is making good contact. Obviously, the most important thing is your swing and not the lie of the ball in this situation.

The first thing you have to establish is how far back you can take your back swing. Once you are confident about this, having rehearsed several times, you can start to concentrate on hitting the ball.

I find it a good idea to take my stance and then make my back swing and stop here. Then making sure I watch the ball, make an unhurried down swing making sure I keep my body still.

It is important not to rush. Be as smooth as you can be both during the back swing, the slight pause and then the down swing. It is so easy to lift your head before you hit the ball due to anxiety about the outcome of the shot. Be very conscious of this and make total effort to keep your head still.

Manufacturing water purifier and filtration systems has become a huge business in the industrialized countries of our planet. Companies manufacturing water purifier and filtration systems in the U.S. ship them to developing countries. Foreign companies manufacturing water purifier and filtration systems ship them to the U.S.

Some of these water purifier and filtration systems are intended for municipal water treatment, while others are manufactured for home use. All must adhere minimally to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Companies manufacturing water purifier and filtration systems for use in the U.S. must adhere to EPA and FDA regulations as well.

U.S. government standards from the EPA require two different levels of water cleaning for purifier and filtration systems.

* Filtration Systems: Any type of water filtration system must remove at least 99.99% of bacteria, chemicals, and other contaminants. Filtration systems must also remove lead and other harmful metals and minerals. This is considered 4 Log or simple filtration.

* Purifier Systems: All water purifier systems must provide 7 Log reduction of contaminants. If you have 7 Log contaminant reduction, your purifier has removed 99.99999% of bacteria, chemicals, and other contaminants.

What This Means to You

If you are directly involved in manufacturing water purifier and filtration systems, this means your products all must be of high quality, and will require constant testing to be sure they conform to government standards. Your filtration systems must all remove the proper percentage of contaminants, as must your purifiers. You cannot sell a filtration system and make claims that it purifies water. All must meet EPA requirements.

If you are not directly involved in manufacturing water purifier and filtration systems, the difference between purifiers and filtration systems may seem minimal. It may seem as though it doesnt matter whether you purchase a purifier or a water filtration system. At a glance, removal of 99.99% or 99.99999% of contaminants may not look like a huge difference.

What it means, however, is that a purifier must be one thousand times (1000x) as effective as a filtration system! To put it another way, you have a choice as to how clean you want your water. Are you content to remove just 1 bug from your water glass, and leave 999 bugs in there? Or would you rather remove 1000 bugs from your glass of water? Drinking water purifiers must give you super-clean water in even the most highly contaminated and dangerous circumstances.

Challenge to Manufacturers

Our challenge to manufacturers is to make clean water available to all who need it. Manufacturers should be working to reduce the costs of manufacturing water purifier and filtration systems so that they are more readily available in remote areas and undeveloped countries. People in those countries urgently need filtration systems, whereas we in developed countries have very potable water flowing from our municipal water supply. Those in need often cannot afford clean water, though, given the current costs of manufacturing water purifier and filtration systems.

Manufacturers need to couple their desire for profit to humanitarian compassion, and create ways to provide purifiers, or at least filtration systems, at much lower cost.
