Hey folks! Trying to get 2016 off on the right start, so here is a 7 iron swing. Sorry for the weird angle (I'll do better next time!). 3/4 swing feel (since I habitually over-rotate ending up past parallel) and a bit firmer grip in the hands. My big thought right now is just staying balanced...

Need a recommendation for an instructor. Preferably someone using Trackman so we know exactly what's going on at impact. I heard Texas Women's University (not that far north) in Denton was doing some good research. Does anyone there give private lessons at a reasonable rate? I've got a hook /...

I've posted on this forum a ton over the past few years, frequently with a "wow, hitting great all of a sudden!" bs post. This is not one of those. Regardless of how much I practice lately, I cannot seem to establish any consistency with my swing. Despite establishing a preshot routine...

My iron swing has been getting much better since I started getting the "one last point" from soft draw down pat. Fits my backswing much better and stops my too much in-out tendency. Nice draws and a few fades. Many more on target shots. Having a problem with fairway woods and driver though...

BMan and Co, I've been working on the SD toss trying to ingrain better impact into my swing. I think I'm doing the backswing correctly, and seem to have gotten the toss down well. However, when I try to put it together into a full swing, everything goes haywire. The impact is completely not...

Can someone recommend a pinseeker? I am looking for something in the $275-$300 range, basically just has to laser the flag and be able to laser for layup / hazard avoidance. Way too many models on the market...so I'm hoping someone can provide a recommendation. Thanks!

Long swing, I know, but trying to shorten it has proven to be nothing but futile. I hit it better with a long swing. This swing resulted in a high fade (a few yards). Pleased with the ball flight, but not pleased with occasionally flipping it, and having big problems using this swing with short...

Can someone give an update on iron shafts? I still find I can hit the TT DG S300 well, without much ballooning, but what am I missing in terms of other shafts out on the market? Is it all hype? What's real and what's not? I do have a set of Wilson Ci6's with TT Taper Tech shafts... can't stand...

So... you can't afford a personal trackman, and there isn't one available nearby to rent time on.... and Manzella isn't in town... How does one go about zeroing yourself out? Plane board / towel drill? Triangle box outside the line? I'm almost imagining we need some kind of "Trackman for the...

Was looking at swing sequences of Freddy Couples, John Daly, and Jamie Sadlowski, and thinking about the flying right elbow. It occurred to me that these swings share some thing in common with great baseball swings, namely, at the top, the extension of the right elbow is not just a higher...

Bought NSA a few days ago because I realized I'm really just a slicer who learned to whip his body hard enough to slam the face closed and have an in-out path and thereby become a great snap hooker. Never understood lagging the sweetspot etc. Well, I'm working on the pattern and today was just...

Is it possible to uncock the left wrist too much through the execution of the swivel? Would this result in toe down divots, a fast closure rate, narrow arc, and poor contact? Just curious. I'm trying to figure why my release is so unreliable, and I think my implementation of the swivel is...

Just curious really. When did lifting the left heel and using it to trigger the downswing come out of fashion? You still see it with some golfers (particularly the longer hitters), but it seems to be completely ignored in pop instruction. Seems that every "legendary golfer" used the left heel...

Swinging flat sucks. There I said it. Ok for me anyways... Seriously though, I don't know why I've been pursuing it. Trying to swing more and more "flat and compact" is just killing my speed. My driver speed has progressively dropped from 110 to 92 in the last 3 years, with no improvement in...

I'm slowly finding that the difficulties I continue to encounter with my swing stem from two things 1) wrong grip size (my left hand is slipping because the grip is too small) and 2) not effectively controlling my backswing, especially at the top. Overall, I seem to make a different backswing...
