Hello Manzella instructors and forum members, I was wondering if I could get some advice on a backswing issue I have been having for some time? When I take the club to the top, my hands are 30 plus inches ( hitting driver) from being behind my head (from face on). I have tried softening my...

Hello forum members I was hoping you all could help me with something. I keep hearing that the current ball goes farther (proportionately) the higher your swing speed. This does not seem possible to me, but I don't have a very indepth background in physics. Does anyone have an article or study...

Hello all, I have suffered from reverse hips for a long time now and wanted to get the forums option on something. Reverse hips are when the left hip gets closer to the target at the top of the swing than at address. My question is could adding more hip slant in the backswing help me remove...

Hello all I struggle with getting the club behind me in the takeaway and to much hip turn relative to the plane at the top. I recently started delaying the start of my hip turn until the club is halfway back. This obviously reduces my hip turn at the top. What are the downsides of having less...

Does anyone know what is going on with Cink? I remember when he left Butch he said he was going to fix his over the top move. I now hear that the reason he left obrien is because his swing path was really inside out and his club was like 5 degrees open. He shot 83 today with awful stats. What...

Hello Manzella forum, I really need everyone's help with an issue I have had for a few years. I get the club very laid off at the top, this causes the club to get steep in transition and closes the face at impact. I hit a lot of snap hooks with the driver. I have tried getting my takeaway more...

Hello manzella members I was recently watching a flightscope fitting and had a few questions. The player was hitting the ball on a range where the ball was landing in a low area ( behind a set of mounds). Because of the layout of the range, you could not see where the ball landed or how far it...

Hello all, A few years ago this was discussed but I don't think Brian ever gave his reason why? Why do most golfers aim right and how do you fix it? You would think due to the slice they would aim left but most people that I play with have very closed shoulders and stance and can never seem...

Hello manzella forum, I have a random question. I have recently noticed that on the course my driver swing is way short of parallel. When I get short I hit a lot of quick hooks. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the backswing longer? By the way, I do not have flexibility issues. Thanks...

Forum members I was wondering if I could ask your feedback on how and where I should get fit. I need to get fit for a driver and for 2 hybrids. My options are an outdoor trackman three hours away. An indoor trackman 45 minutes away. Or last I could get on a vector at a local range. I am a...

The video below is of a mini tour friend of mine hitting his driver. I wanted to see if anyone could tell me how he hits it so far. He is 5'11" maybe 160 pounds but he rips his driver. I have been with him multiple times where he has flown it over 310. No one can believe how far he hits it...

Dipping (now with video) Guys I have been reviewing a lot of video over the last few weeks and wanted to get everyones opinion on a few things. On Driver swings that I hit hard low hooks my head really drops on the downswing and as this happens my right hand really shuts the clubface down. I...

Guys, I have been struggling lately with my driver because of snap hooks. Nothing I have tried has worked. I finally got the hook recorded on video with the new casio EX-FC100 On the video below, I hit a pull hook that ends 60 yards left of the fairway. Please help me try and figure out why...

Guys, I have really been struggling with hooking the driver for the last few years and wanted some feedback on my new change. I have tried NHA and NHA 2 both helped but i still have the 1 or 2 bad snap hooks a round. I started a thread a week ago and Brian gave me some great advice on how to...

Manzella members and instructors , I am at my wits end how to solve my current swing issue so I thought I would look for some advice from you guys. My backswing is good, club is coming down on a good plane( elbow and not to much in to out) and just before impact it looks as though my right hand...
