I understand the basics behind not popping out on the backswing, but how about the hands popping up on the downswing. Hopefully, I can explain what I'm talking about. At address, when viewed down the target line, a line drawn from the shoulders down to the hands down to the ball would create...

My playing partner tends to raise the front of his right foot (toe area) on the downswing. This causes him to have most of his weight on his right heel at impact and my guess is it restricts him from getting to his left side. Any of the instructors on this site ever see this, and what did you...

For those of you who think about your backswing, what are your swing thoughts for getting into a good position at the top? For those of us who resist the parallel lines (Haney), I read one recently that made a lot of sense...feel like you are rolling a bowling ball down your toe line to your...

One of my repeat swing faults is a bent left arm at impact. I am very interested in hearing what you think are the leading causes of this power leak. I would suspect an over-the-top swing with a flip would be a leading cause. Any others? Thanks for the help.

I would be interested in hearing everyones interpretation of what throwing the drunk off the shoulder is and what you gained from using this as your swing thought. I've done a search, but would like to hear more current impressions. If I understand correctly, the drunk is on the left shoulder...

I have started working on my swing plane yet again. Typically, I use either a laser device or miniature flashlights on both ends of a shaft as a swing trainer. Here are my two questions... 1. Have you had success with these trainers? 2. When you are at the 3 o'clock position on the follow...

I would be interested in hearing your best cures for fixing an over-the-top move. In this case, the more the better!

I have a tendency to get steep on the downswing and need some help shallowing out my swing. I've watched video of my swing and the club is closer to my left arm instead of the right arm when viewed from down the line. I've seen a lot of pro-tour swings and most seem to have club very close to...

I'm having trouble with crossing the line at the top of my backswing. Any ideas on how to get the club more on plane at the top?

I have a tendency to get the club pointed across the line at the top of my backswing. I straighten the right leg a little and raise the right elbow as I near the top of my backswing which clearly contributes to this flaw, but it seems the club gets further across the line as I initiate the...

It will be a couple more weeks before I get to see Brian so I went over to the local driving range to have my swing recorded. Sure enough, still flipping a little bit, but what concerned me the most, is that my head and upper body where lunging down and forward towards the ball. Anyone...

Just as the title says, share your "i finally got it moment" when you learned how to not flip the club through the hitting area. Since I'm still flipping a little bit, I can't quite fill in the blank. Thanks, I'm sure others can benefit from this as well ;).

Haven't seen any lively debate recently on this topic. Do the hands control the pivot? Or, does the pivot control the hands? For me, I seem to hit the ball both further and more consistent when the hands control my pivot. Equally important, it seems that when my hands control my pivot, I am...

I was looking at some video of my swing earlier this week and I noticed that I have a little bit of forward lean at the top of my backswing. Anyone have any idea what might be causing this? And, how to correct it?

I've had lessons in the past using golf swing analyzing software which I think is useful for looking at positions throughout the swing. The one that I really like is the system that use the sound of impact to tape a swing. I think there is some kind of impact detection system that triggers the...
