    Kinetic Chain

    Considering the graph from TPI and all of the current discussion concerning snapping the kinetic chain and increasing clubhead speed, I have a question. Are the body parts slowing down on purpose or due to the extension of the clubhead away from the center of rotation? I have been thinking...

    The Need for Speed

    I have been working on trying to increase my clubhead speed the last few weeks and have found some interesting, (to me at least), observations. I have been swinging some pulled graphite shafts trying to swing as fast as possible using a Swing Speed Radar to measure my clubhead speed. Here are...

    Big Headed Driver Woes

    Over the last few years as the size of drivers has gotten bigger and bigger, I have never been able to find a driver that I can hit. I still use a Titleist 975J with a steel (Rifle) shaft at 43 or 43 1/2" (I can't remember the exact length). I carry the ball about 255 yds. with this club and...

    Swing Center

    I know that the proper 3D position of the swing center is relatively new, but I was wondering if any of you have given this information to a student during a lesson, maybe even as a swing thought? If you have used this, did it seem to help the student understand their swing center and make a...

    Hooker/Puller no more?

    Well, I have been fighting pulling/hooking for a couple of years. Swore to quit the game a few times and at the time I meant it. Brian and "Never Hook Again" have helped a lot, but the old tendencies don't die easily do they? I noticed something the last couple of days that I believe will...

    Brian, others, How do you get yourself to "Follow the Yellow Brick Road" if you are not doing it correctly? What are some common problems that prevent one from swinging left enough after impact? Downswing under plane? My question is concerning swing mechanics not steering and all of the...

    Spin

    Brian, others, I have always had good control of being able to work the ball. Even with my wedges I can usually draw it, cut it, high and low. Several of my usual playing partners kid me about being able to do this. I can draw a 60* wedge about 7 or 8 yards and cut it about 5 or 6 with a...

    Dipping on downwsing

    I am fighting dipping at the start of my downswing and am not having any luck consistently fixing this problem. Just telling myself not to dip and trying not to dip isn't working. The faster I try and swing the worse it becomes. I believe that somehow my mind equates this move to more power...

    Confessions...Flipper

    Brian, I watched your "Confessions" video again and I really like the instruction. I have been working on this move off and on over the last few years. The times that I "get it" I hit the ball beautifully, it is almost like I can't hit it off line it is so easy. However, in between these...
