    Cupped Left Wrist

    I know Brian is often an advocate for the flat left wrist, but all this talk about cupping like Hogan is quickly making a believer out of me. When I think about the everyday applications of a natural wrist hinge (e.g. hammering a nail, or casting a fishing rod), I begin to wonder whether the...

    Golf and martial arts

    I just thought I'd share this with everybody because it really made my day. I've been playing golf for five years. The first year was a waste because I was in high school and didn't really devote much attention to improving. When I started training in Wing Chun (Sticky Hands) kung fu, my game...

    Coffee table analogy?

    Has anybody has ever heard a swing plane analogy involving an imaginary coffee table? A very feel-oriented pro I know tried to explain it to me, but I couldn't understand him. Does Hogan's pane of glass analogy involve an imaginary coffee table?

    Belly the wedge every time?

    I've been told something to this effect on several occasions: ----> But I'm pretty sure my best wedge contact occurs first relatively high on the clubface, like this: ----> In a way, this is sort of a continuation of my other thread about pinching/trapping. Does mr. mango shirt's...

    Pinch/trap it between the clubface and the turf?

    I hear this description of compression constantly. This is more of a conceptual thing, right? I mean, if this were literally happening, the ball would be compressing in two different places: the top and the bottom. When I watch a pro compress the ball in slow motion, the only point of...

    Flat footed whip, left shoulder into it, hit it with your belt buckle, WHAT???

    So I'd say I'm just ok out of the sand. My buddy (same guy who "lays the club off") and his dad however, eat fried eggs for breakfast. I mean, if they have some space to work with, it's like they might as well be putting. I asked for tips, I received gobblety gook. Here's what the younger told...

    Consciosly "laying off" at the top?

    A friend of mine who can hit it a mile has a move I commonly see but I hardly understand. He: 1. has a modern, one-piece, straight back takeaway 2. releases his hips and lifts his heel about an inch 3. completes a very full backswing in good rhythm The moment he begins to drop the anchor of...

    One shot in the bag, please help!

    After two years of balance work, I have developed one go-to shot: a punch fade. I make the same divot 9/10 times and hit my 5 iron 175 with a 5-7.5 yard cut. The following feelings give me great confidence: - driving the emblem of my glove down into the turf - "hitting" the ball with my...
