Brian and other academy members, Based on your research, are there any thoughts as to what training aids, if any, might help produce desirable swing patterns? If not, is there any thought of producing some Manzella-approved training aids? For right now, is there anything out there which might...

Brian, Either in your next video on the downswing or in a separate video or explanation, could you please address the following: From the perspective of a high handicapper, are we better off still thinking of starting the downswing from the ground up or should we now try to learn the correct...

Art, you are a wonderful recent addition to this forum. I feel more knowledgeable every time you post. Thank you. gumper

Can Brian, Art, Bill McKinney, or any of the academy instructors explain how to utilize the pre-turned hip? Also, what type of golfer would most benefit from this move? Thank you. gumper

I'm going through a bout of this. Any suggestions? Thanks. gumper

Recently I began hitting numerous shots off the toe. I even have whiffed a couple of shots to the inside. I have noticed that I "scrunch in" my arms on some of these shots and stand up at impact on almost all of them, so my torso and arms are backing away from the ball. I'm trying to figure...

Brian, I would like to suggest an expert or experts from the other side of the equation: how people learn. I am not talking about sports psychologists who talk about the advantages of positive thinking, etc. Rather, I'm thinking of recent research on how the brain works in order to best learn...

Brian, Unbelievably to me, with my driver I have gone from being a chronic slicer to a pull-hooker. I'm not sure if my feels are correct, but I think I may be turning my hands over at impact and closing the face. I also may be spinning out with my hips, although I'm not sure. If it helps in...

I’m fighting a case of hanging back on my right leg at impact and into the finish to the point that I am practically standing just on that rear leg. Needless to say, this results in terrible fat shots. I know that at the finish, I’m supposed to be able to stand just on the front foot, I also...

Brian and others, My video camera shows that I am standing up almost straight at impact, especially with my driver. As a result, my drives tend to be very thin, even topped at times. In your experience, does this loss of spine angle stem from simply forgetting to pay attention to it, or is...

Brian and others, What would be the most typical negatives for having the hips and shoulders square at impact, rather than open? I must admit that I have trouble with the open at impact concept because I have been working for years on trying to get my right shoulder *down* and *not* open. I...

For those of us who were not able to "attend" Manzella live, is there a way to pay after the fact to watch the show? If not, can this be considered for the future? I have seen a previous poster ask this question, but I have not seen an answer. Thank you. gumper

Brian, I've searched the various shank threads, but I haven't found the answer to "What are the causes and cures for shanks that dribble down the third base line?" Also, what do you suggest as a band-aid if a shank attack occurs in the middle of a round (both the dribble to the left variety...

Just purchased my first camcorder, a Panasonic PV-GS80 model. My computer is a Mac. I can view my swings at full speed on the Mac, but, as far as I can tell, I can't do frame-by-frame or slow motion with it. Is there a way to do swing analysis with a Mac? V1, C-swing, etc. can't be used...

Gentlemen, I can use some help with this. I know that I have to swing "under the stick" on the downswing in order to eliminate the over-the-top move. As Brian and Mike know, I've been working on this for 2 years. My question is which method would be best and worst to accomplish this? 1...
