    Driver backswing issue....

    Hey guys! It's been awhile. Lost a bunch of weight and lost my swing....thus, my interest in golf for a couple of months. After letting the game go for awhile, I have a desire to get back into it. Right now, I'm hitting irons well...good compression, fair accuracy but it's not what's killing...

    Swing falls apart after weight loss...

    Long time member...been lurking but not posting. I made a lot of progress last year in my game and played really well until I lost 30lbs. Since, I can't get my swing results anywhere close to where I was. Can a weight loss really change your swing or...does a loss cause a need to change some...

    what motors the downswing pivot?

    OK, I've posted on the right leg in the back swing and I'm in a good position. I shift over to the left leg. Now, what is powering the pivot? Also, with the club about 9 o'clock in the follow-through, where should the hands be?

    Suggestions: Worm-burner king...

    About 3 weeks ago, I started hitting irons like 3 ft off the ground. I got my index down to 13.5 (down from 20 at the beginning of the year) and was playing my best golf, great iron shots and this crept in and hasn't gone away. Used to hit a fairly high ball. Even my lofted irons are really...

    Driver woes...update....

    About a month ago, i posted a thread regarding my driving distance being about 20 yards short. My driver was flying very high. I hit this driver decent when I first purchased it (FT-5 tour, 9.5*, Fuji Fit on 360 stiff). Anyways, after a woeful day off the tee, cracked that shaft in half...

    High Tee Shots....

    Well, my handicap is dropping like the stock market a few months ago so I can't complain...oh, wait, yes I can! I have always hit my driver high but lately I am losing a lot of distance. I'm losing about 20 yards. I can't get the trajectory down. I am hitting a Callway FT5 Tour with the...

    Just like some comments regarding something I've added...

    to my swing..... This is not something new. But, it has taken me awhile to discover it, and then make it consistent in the swing. When I am consistent with it....I hit so well. I just don't understand why??? The thing I am doing is taking away the club using the thumb and index finger of my...

    A little struggle with NHA 2.0 pattern....

    Have been crushing the driver with this pattern until this weekend. Developed a big ol' high SLICE. I haven't sliced the ball for a long time. I couldn't correct this out of the pattern. My driver distance fell off as well. Any suggestions?

    Toe Shots with NHA....

    Just moved to this pattern. Major improvement since I had become a hooker/pusher. I had a few pulls which I figured out why but....had a lot of toe shots with the irons. Way out on the shiney, smooth part. What's up with that???

    Messed up putter stroke.....

    During the last month, my putter stroke has gone to hell. I started looping or oscilating the take back. Any suggestions for curing this? I can't seem to stop doing it.

    Experiment with new irons...

    I picked up a set of Hogan Apex irons that have much less offset than my Mizuno Mx-23s. I haven't had the lofts and lies checked yet but I am hitting these irons 20* left in a dead pull...or draw pull. I would rotate back and forth with the 9 iron. Mx 23 would be straight with slight draw...

    Brian ...from the live chat...blades vs. cavity

    offset vs. no offset....... What does your new science tell you in regards to the type of irons a player uses? Are blades better for everyone? Does perimeter weighted clubs really help a mid-high handicapper? What about offset?

    Rife two ball mallet putter....

    I was at a club fitter friend getting some new grips and a wedge reshafted (lost a battle with a scrub oak) and I noticed he took on the Rife line of putters. He sent one home with me to demo and I took it up to the practice green. Wow! Can't wait to try during a round. Any one here use one?

    What changes from a 6 to 5 iron....

    I'm currently using more of a NHA pattern. From 6 to LW, I am so dialed in. I really feel the club is swinging like a club. From 5 to 3w, I can't hit a lick. Driver is OK but a little inconsistent. What might I be looking for? When i change to the 5 and higher, shots magically lack...

    I'm at a loss and humbled....

    Ive had a lot of success with the SD pattern. Best yet! Dropped my handicap about 5 strokes. All of the sudden, I lost it. I've watched the video over and over to try to fix the wrong but....no luck. SD gave me the best iron shots I've ever had. Now, I am pushing everything right. I am...

    Lost my driver swing with SD 1.0

    First off, I'm not dissing SD 1.0 because it really has helped me immensely. Before I changed to it, I was so confident with my driver and really hitting it well. Now that I've tried to apply the SD 1.0 pattern to it, I can't hit it worth a damn and I have no idea where it's going. Can...

    Sand shot woes.....

    Normally, I am a decent bunker player. But for some reason, lately, I am not catching enough sand. So, I end up with shots going waaaay too long...usually off the green on the other side. I know what I should be doing but can't execute it. I have over and out. Any suggestions?

    Brian - re:SD...and the club in hand...

    Anything to consider when employing the SD pattern with say a driver vs. a long iron vs. a mid iron vs. short iron? Does the release point or point the toss begins change? What about the take away? Would it still be the same for say a 9i or PW (the path of the hands is what I'm asking about)...

    Brian or Instructors....navel/hands relationship

    In trying to make better use of my lower body, I think I get a little (or a lot) too fast with my hips. In keeping the hands behind the navel during the swing, can you give me some thoughts on about how far they should lag behind the navel? What is ideal, what is bad? I am getting to where...
