    Backswing speed and float loading

    In a constant effort to have a trailing clubhead, I think I developed a quick tempo so that my startdown began before my clubhead reached the top. However, I now believe that that fast clubhead momemtum going back to the top caused the base of my neck to follow the clubhead and reverse back...

    Posture sets up "Lean"

    In my first lesson with Brian, he attempted to change my posture so that I would have more waist bend and less knee flex. I dismissed his efforts. Since then, it was never brought up again. When I went to Orlando and after viewing the MP-4 lesson, I was very frustrated at having an upper body...

    45" driver arbitrary standard?

    Do most of you use a 45" driver? Stating the obvious, it seems your driver length should vary with your height. I think my swing vids look a little flat with the driver. When I steepen my plane, I look like I am standing a bit too tall. I am 5'10" with socks on. And I wear a 33" shirt. Would a...

    Measuring off the tee shot by soleing club

    Been having trouble making center face contact with the driver. I tee the ball real high. Seems I make better contact when I hover the driver at address rather than soleing it to the ground. But I never see any pro to this. What are the pitfalls to this? I actually make good center face contact...

    Long Driver Clubs

    Anybody know how much swing speed increase you're supposed to get by going from a 45" to a 48" driver. (Assume 110mph to begin with) Obviously, the weight of the club increases, but at what point does the increase in weight counteract the increase in clubhead arc? Obviously lots of variables...

    Extensor Action on the Downswing?

    I have repeatedly tinkered around with my swing, specifically my wrists, in trying to achieve the Hogan/Sergio/Charles Howell -LIKE look on the downswing. I figured that I just did not have the wrist flexibility even when I double-cocked. But as I study the swing sequences of those guys...

    Back to the Launch Monitor- for what its worth

    I went to a different place with a launch monitor that had more sophisticated equipment and that had swing speed as well as ball speed. This time however, I went with my old 9.5 degree Taylormade 580 driver and my new 6 degree Alpha Version 2 Driver that Pat Dempsey (Long Drive Champ) custom...

    Launch Monitor says Don't Blame the Clubs

    I happened by a launch monitor at a golf store today and tried it out. My first 5 drives were ball speed of 143-149 mph, launch angle of 7-9 degrees and spin rate of 3800-4500 rpm. Average drive was 238-255 yards. Anyway, the clubfitter guy just told me to 'pick' the ball off the tee and...

    Check out Bubba Watson

    Brian, Will you be teaching me this this weekend? http://www.golfonline.com/golfonline/tours/pga/article/0,17742,1141592,00.html very little forward shaft lean and cupped left wrist (but flat at impact)

    Interlocking grip inhibit proper alignment?

    I have somewhat small hands and I interlock. But it seems that interlocking may pre-cock the left wrist and inhibit proper uncocking. Interlocking seems to change the dynamics of how the grip lay across the left hand, although maybe a negligible amount. Also, some of my stronger ball striking...

    Hooding

    A buddy of mine who shoots in the 90's hoods the clubface on his irons and hits 160 yard nine irons and 115 yard sand wedges(His driver only goes about 250 yards though) Does that mean he must have lag and a forward leaning clubshaft on iron shots? Actually I know alot of hi-cappers who hood and...

    Leadbetter aid/grip

    Twofold question here: First, what do you all think of Leadbetter's swing setter aid here: http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/largeImage/index.jsp?LargeImageURL=http%3A//DSP.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/p2008729dt.jpg Second, I notice that if you conform your left hand into the grip...

    Bent right wrist/axis tilt

    Is there a relationship between the amount of right wrist bend at impact and the necessary degree of axis tilt. I have been trying to hit the ball with a 'wrinkled wrist' (when you bend the right wrist back, it wrinkles the skin on the back of your hand where it meets the wrist). But in order to...

    The Snead Squat

    Jim McClean was talking on TGC about how Tiger and other power hitters compress their bodies down on the downswing effectively lowering their head momentarily, only to then explode out of the squat and blast the ball. Tried it on the range. I looked silly. Seems to violate Homer's policy...

    Left hand only shot

    Daly was on Lessons From the Pros demonstrating his ability to hit left hand only shots. He could do it very well. I find it quite difficult. What grip is best for this?

    10-finger Baseball Grip

    Any tour players use a 10-finger, two-piece, baseball grip? I know a a guy 5' 8" tall that just graduated from college named Brandon Brown (you guys from Ky may know him) and he uses this grip and smacks the ball 320 yards routinely. Any advantages? Arch
