Saw Faldo dissecting the differences between Vijay's swing last year when he won and this year's swing. Clearly his takeaway is inside and then more upright. He also is standing closer to the ball. Faldo claims his hips now move towards the ball, requiring him to use his hands more, flipping. I...

Stealing a thought from the how good can you get post, it would be interesting to hear of increases of distance of thirty yards or more and how it was accomplished. Is it possible to increase distance beyond thirty yards? Equipment and fitness may contribute up to twenty yards, but has anyone...

Is there a correlation between hand and wrist strength and the bend of the right wrist? I have seen some reccomendations that for weaker handed players, the right wrist bent, palm up at the top of the swing is more effective as the force of the downswing is less likely to force the right wrist...

Is there such a thing? Or is it merely pivoting incorrectly? Playing yesterday, I was swinging too far right and felt very blocked through the ball. Tried to swing the club more vertically, on the turning shoulder plane with an early hinge of the wrists and no conscious pivot. Contact was much...

I have been having issues with my right hand grip and NSA 2 really set off the lightbulb. It is key to set the lifeline of the right palm over the left thumb after setting the club in the middle fingers of the right hand. My question is how this affects the bend of the right wrist? If...

What is the most common cause of wobble on the backswing? Can it be caused by the hips moving too much laterally? I have been working on the NHA pattern, feeling the hips moving laterally on the backswing. After inconsistent play for 16 holes, with no compression, popups off the tee, I kept my...

Reviewing the golfing machine, I came upon the description of the swingers downswing beginning like pulling an arrow feather first out of a quiver. Is this similar to the coke machine drill in the flipper video? Which hand, right or left for a right handed player should feel as if it is drawing...

Any suggestion on how to trace the plane line in the second part of the backswing? I have no problem when I take the club back, however it gets laid off when my hands go past my right hip. I know this relates to the recent laid off thread, but it is troubling to start the club on plane and lose...

In swinging, the right forearm is supposed to fan in the backswing. Is it possible to over fan the right forearm and when should the right forearm stop fanning in the backswing. Would'nt fanning the right forearm open the clubface ?

In diagnosing the cause of a ball-flight problem, what emphasis does the location of impact on the clubface have? I have been pull hooking, the ball starting slightly left and curving more left. Contact is at the heel of the club consistently with a loss of clubhead speed on launch monitor.If...

How does this affect the swing, if at all? When my head is set to the right, it feels as if I flip a lot more and go underplane. Feeling as if the ball is off my left eye with the driver and off my nose with the irons seems to provide more lag, less flip. Decent theory or unrelated?

After watching never slice again, a phenomenal video by the way, I decided to change my grip to Manzella neutral from a moderately strong grip. While it felt significantly different, I noticed immediately that my clubs seemed to sit more upright. I had long been fitted as 2degree flat by...

As the right shoulder drives downplane, Jim has indicated that it is vital that the axis tilt be maintained thru impact. Question, does the left shouder move up in line with the target or does it open or does it do both, ie up and left simultaneously? I have tried imagining a golf club attached...

The fiddler drill in "flipper" is a great drill for preventing throwaway, however it seemed to be contrary to an overall motion, at least until watching the senior tour replay on the golf channel. Watching Tom Jenkins, the winner, swing in slomotion, he swings exactly like the drill. His...

I have read Brian's pivot article and am wondering how to work successfully on the pivot without the club moving too much to the inside. Underplane is a huge issue for me and I have typically hit the ball better when I use a hands controlled pivot. My lack of adequate distance tells me to work...
