    Hanging back, spinning out, flipping

    Guys After some advice .. been struggling for a few rounds now where I think my tendancy is to spin my hips too quickly on the down swing but around the back leg. My left arm gets to far out as a result (off my chest) and i bow my wrist underneath to get the club somewhat on plane. My hands...

    Right palm off the grip

    In an effort to stop me hooking, i've started taking a grip where I feel like I hold the club with the thumb and fingers of the right hand only, the right palm is off the grip entirely. This allows me to still turn the rigjht hand over through impact but it must be a little less agressively as...

    Shot shaping and grip

    Interested if people change their grip to shape the ball or merely change the clubface angle/alignment I have a strong grip and have played about doing both but find I can hit fades a lot easier with a strong grip simply by lining up open and opening the club face (a bit like Freddy Couples I...

    Right side dominance

    How can I ensure my right hand doesnt dominate at the transition? I can see on video I still fight my right hand being the dominant hand trying to pull the club down and all that does is pull my right shoulder out. When I manage to do this with my left hand all is good as my left arm stays...

    Crush the Can

    Does anyone feel they crush the can with the lead foot on the downswing? I've been really working hard on this the last few weeks, feeling like my transition is my left heel hard into the ground whilst feeling like my clubhead stays pointed at the target or "left behind" -- all around a still...

    Ten Finger grip and lag

    I started hitting a few shots at the range the other with a ten finger grip and using that to really feel like I held the angle coming down Not sure why but using a baseball grip really helped me keep lag coming down and I was getting 5-10 yards more with my long irons .. any idea why?

    Staying Centered, Weight on the Left Foot, or not?

    How important is it to stay centered over the ball, Ive started keeping more wright on my left leg during the backswing (a la Zach Johnson) and been hitting the ball much better. It almost feels like im turning around my left knee rather than my right?

    Feelings of a former flipper

    As someone who is still working away from my shift then flip swing to the more flat left wrist - body pivot downswing can I ask a few questions of people who've gone through this? My downswing now *feels* as if my chest moves down and around. Indeed my main swing thought is chest to target and...

    Swing up to get right shoulder down?

    I'm still fighting the lefts but recently ive started feeling like I swing up and through the ball much more with my right hand - almost like a weight shift followed by a swing up and through - rather than around to the left What ive noticed is that when I do this I get much better axis tilt...

    Importance of right forefinger

    I have trouble hooking and during a messy round saturday when i'd NR'd I started putting the right forefinger 'cradle' a lot lower and seperating it from my right middle finger Started hitting the ball a lot better and found my right hand wasnt nearly as 'active' in wanting to turn over so...

    Setting up with a slightly open clubface

    Should you set up with your clubface ever so slightly open? I know at impact the club should be slightly open and I've been playing about setting up with a open clubface to help me stop pulling. Because i have offset irons the face looks wide open but I think i've had it so shut in the past...

    Angled Hinging and Hitting

    Im not a big follower of TGM but if you keep the clubface closed during the takeway and then use the right arm to hit down and through the ball (aiming point through the inside quadrant of the ball ) is that a hitting stroke?

    Pause at the top

    Does Brian teach a pause at the top of the backswing? I've been hitting pushes or pulls lately and I thought it might be because from the top I push my hips too agressively and too quickly trying to get more tilt from the top When I started pausing at the top, or a feeling like I kept the club...

    Axis Tilt at Address

    How much axis tilt should you have at address? Im a tall guy (6'2) and have been struggling with pulls lately - I can feel my hips are tilted wrong at the top of the backswing sometimes and I come OTT When I set up with my left hip up and forward - it *feels* like I have almost 30 odd degrees...

    Flat shoulder turn

    I have been working hard to take my hands out of the backswing and concentrate on making a good shoulder turn and pivot whilst keeping the arms straight So far so good and the first half of my backswing looks and feels perfect, club sets on line, is outside hands when paralell etc. However what...

    Feedback wanted

    Guys I played a tie today with a guy who hit the ball as clean as I've ever seen. Needless to say he whipped me. Afterwards over a beer I asked him about his swing and he said the following 'Alls I do is rotate my left forearm to the top, feel a flat left wrist and then use my hips to rotate a...

    Right hand dominant

    Can you be completely right hand dominant in the swing? Is this a hitters pattern? I've been working on feeling as if I hardly grip the club at all with the fingers of my left hand and pull the club with my right keeping the face looking at the ball and getting extensor action. From the top...

    Covering the ball with your chest?

    I was going through some old golf mags and found one where Adam Scott was talking about a) setting his wrists very early on the backswing and not dragging the club back and b) feeling as if he covered the ball at impact with this chest Is this the same feeling as trying to ensure your chest and...

    Bumping left hip to right field

    I've been having a lot of joy since I got NSA and using a twistaway pattern but was still hitting a lot of pulls Figured out it must have been because I was sliding my hips in the BS and having to come OTT on the DS Anyhoo, started turning my hips a lot more actively on the BS as I twisted...
