    Best camera for video: Casio?

    Looking for a very versatile camera that is useful for video of a golf swing. I suppose this means a high rate of FPS, and easy manipulation of slow/stop action frame-to-frame. My teacher uses a Casio. I also need this for family use and stills. I like the idea of an SLR with HD capability...

    Missed a year; Where can I catch up on the new Science?

    Y'all are so excited about the D Plane. I stopped paying attention in september of 08, and I am trying to catch up. It's as if the world went from analog to digital, and I missed the transition. TGM gurus talking about hitting up with the driver? I feel like I've been transported into...

    Please analyze my Trackman numbers!

    I learned a great deal from you guys over the last 2 years. I finally got on a trackman, and would like to know what you think it says about my swing: This is with an MP 68 6iron With KBS Stiff, softstepped once. Average 5 shots. I'd like to know what think those of you who work with these...

    What is Hunter Mahan's "pattern?"

    He has the freest looking swing, but it looks like he tries to hit a huge cut every time. Can someone clue me in?

    Long thumb vs. Short thumb: what effect?

    I experimented today with a long left thumb (I'm righthanded), stretching it down the handle under my right hand. this as opposed to keeping the pad of the thumb closer to the heel of the hand. Long thumb seemed to make it harder to release; BUT allowed a sharper lag angle between the club and...

    Backswing below plane; Downswing on plane

    What are the likely causes and fixes? If you're on plane on the DS, does it matter? I have not been making good contact lately, and am looking for the cause. Working on posting a video, but it's from a local video lesson (Golf galaxy) and isn't working yet.

    Bent right wrist gives me a push! help

    I am concentrating on anti-flip medicine; I have cured my pull, but am getting a push now. What dynamic do I need to add? Great contact, more yards, but too right-- especially with the driver. part of this is coming from Soft Draw 1.0, particularly the timing of the weight shift. In order to...

    Too much pivot!?

    My striving for pivot, after years of working for a "quiet" lower body, has led me to a slide. My navel is several inches past the ball at impact. Is it possible to have too much pivot? When does it become a slide? How do you limit lateral motion without freezing it? Thanks.

    Combining two Manzellisms

    So the two that make sense to me, and that work up through the mid irons, are: 1. Throw the Drunk off your Back; 2. Keep your bowtie back. As i say, this works for me up through 6 iron, or at least 7. Anyone else? Where does this put me on the Matrix? How can I extend this success...

    Heavier clubs: Easier to develop lag??

    I play with S300s. My driver shaft is 65gr, FW woods 85gr. Driver swingspeed is 105-107. I am often tempted to go to a lighter setup, although I like the feel of what I'm playing with. But more directly= can heavier clubs- overall weight and/or swing weight- make it easier or harder to...

    The Titanic of leakage hookers

    Send a lifeboat! When you've gotten rid of the slice, and you can usually prevent the pull, how do you get rid of the leakage hook? The last bit of flip, combined with a subconcious desire to keep the ball left and therefore hit the back of the ball, is my iceberg-- steering me to portside...

    Is there a TGM approach to putting?

    And would it favor a face balanced putter, or "toe down?" Thanks.
