Can Tiger come back from 6 down today at The Masters? Do you think he will? I am very impressed with Immelman's swing.

I've worked very hard on my swing over the winter. Lots of swings and pretty much weekly trips to the range. Brian loaded me up with things to work on: Plane, pivot, swinging more left to name a few. My clubhead speed is way up (12 mph w/ a driver), I'm swinging more left, improved my pivot and...

I have always been able to swing in some way that I felt this really strong pressure that FEELS like the shaft is just torqueing like crazy, to a point that it's almost uncomfortable. What I used to do is release that pressure before or at impact, which I think may have been a flip. Is that lag...

I accidentally found this podcast by Damon Lucas. It's pretty good! http://smarterpodcasts.com/golfsmarter/golfsmarter.html

Often times, you give a student very specific instructions. How do you feel when they come for the next lesson and haven't mastered what you taught them?

I've lost some clubhead speed and want to increase mine. I have read a lot of posts about this over the last year or two on several sites. Finally, last year I found an LDA guy, Mike posting on another site about swinging with a 6 lb bar and showing some incredible gains. Others who replied to...

When I putt really well, on my forward stroke, it FEELS like my upper body is sort of in a "tube" that doesn't let it move forward at all. The putter comes up the plane faster and swings left. It's as if my spine is fixed, and everything rotates around it. In my full swing, I don't swing left...

I read with interest another forum with some amazing claims of gains in club head speed by swinging a 6 lb. bar. Some posts: "I went down to the 6lb'r, same length and size as a driver and easier to control, went home afterwards to swing the driver to keep loose and not tighten up when the...

I've experimented with a Right Forearm Pickup, where it feels as if the right arm/side pulls the left side back and takes all of the slack out of the left side, there may be even slight resistance by the left side and it creates a feeling that I imagine is like an archer pulling a bowstring...

Lately I've been playing around (testing) alignments where I consciously align my right forearm with the shaft at address, probably lose it on the backswing, then try to duplicate that alignment through impact. My tests are reasonably inconclusive, but it seems as if that position would support...

Not to mention Cornhuskers, Fighting Illini, Badgers, Cyclones etc. No, it's not about college football. Do you plan to work on your swing now that the cold weather has arrived? Do you go to a dome? A heated range? How do you continue your swing work?

I was reviewing my old notes from posts on here and came across this post. I think it's the best post of all time. I think it should be pinned to the board! "At address, bend over from the hips enough so you can reach the ball with little or no knee bend, and still can reach past your shirt...

I have always understood, clubface control or lack of it, effects path, then proper impact alignments allow for crisp contact and ball compression. There are always lots of posts on trigger delay (lag). A number of people, I think including Homer Kelly have said trigger delay is the "secret" to...

I understand hovering and trigger delay (lag) are different things. As I understand it, hovering is the result of the lower body leading the upper body, shoulders, arms, hands and clubface on the downswing and creating a hover effect. It's just an athletic swing. Like a QB or pitcher. Lag is...

I just watched a young girl of 16 playing. She's a good player and qualified for her state championships last spring. I think she plays to a 1 or 2 hdcp. I noticed she has that same strange head bob that I see in Natalie Gulbis's and Paula Creamer's swings. You know a downward thrust of the neck...
